Living & learning the organic way. WWOOF provides the opportunity

For people who are keen to do work exchange, wwoofing is an excellent
alternative for people wishing to travel throughout New Zealand.
I have seen it work very successfully in Northland.
For example, the arrangement can be four hours work in exchange
for full board - bed and meals. The kind of work done is negotiable
- working in the gardens, managing native bush plantings, creating
pathways in the bush, small building projects, cleaning/cooking
based around the house....
