Travel & Service Area

We support Christchurch, Selwyn and nearby North Canterbury areas.

  • Travel within 15km of our central Christchurch hub (229 Fitzgerald Avenue) is included in all support.

  • Homes between 15-30km have a travel fee of $38/session (included in bundles or ‘add on’ to your casual support)

We support further locations by request and do not charge travel time.

How it works

Ideal when you need immediate relief or help with key tasks.

A 2-hour support visit may include:

  • catching up on dishes or a load of laundry

  • light tidying of priority spaces

  • simple meal or snack prep

  • practical support so you can rest, shower, or step away briefly


Suited to lighter or one-off support needs, or a quick reset.

2hr Support Visit

Our most popular and flexible option — time to make a noticeable difference.

A 3-hour support visit allows for:

  • multiple household tasks (laundry, kitchen reset, general tidy)

  • food prep or bigger kitchen tasks

  • practical parent or child support alongside home care

A good fit for families wanting a fuller reset or a mix of support.

3hr Support Visit

Designed for heavier days, bigger resets, or sustained support.

A 4-hour support visit may include:

  • more thorough home support across several areas

  • larger food prep or organisational tasks

  • extended parent or household support

  • space to work through what will genuinely help most

Best for recovery, high-load weeks, or when the list has been growing.

Afterpay

Split the cost of support into manageable payments,
easily through your Afterpay account.

Afterpay is available for all casual support visits and includes travel based on your area.

Because this is prepaid, booking happens in two steps:

  • Choose your support visit length and travel zone

  • Complete payment via Afterpay

  • You’ll receive a unique booking link to book your support.

The same Dew Drops care - simply a different payment pathway.

Pricing is slightly adjusted to help cover processing fees charged by the Afterpay platform.
