Does anyone know if a house sit in New Zealand would count as one of the reasons you would be allowed into the country? I would pay for the quarantine and do the time if that meant that we were allowed in as a non-citizen. The government site says that an “employer” can write a letter to try to get you in, but I am not sure if a house sit would count…
This has been my experience as well.
Even to say you are volunteering can be viewed as displacing opportunities for locals.

Yes I learned from a HO who used to have folks come to help with his farm in exchange for room and board. years before THS. One of his visitors was denied entry to the country (UK) because she said she was going to “work” and only had a tourist visa.
We are not working, we are visiting enjoying the land and animals
