  Description

  Hi my name is Geoff and we are currently looking for help in our small Homestay on Auckland's West Coast of New Zealand. You will share with my family of 13 year old son, Layla the dog, Chuey the Ocicat and the 10 chickens :)
  
  Helping here is an opportunity for members of Workaway to have a unique NZ cultural experience in the remote coastal village of Piha Beach in the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park.
  
  Preferably you can help for period of 3 weeks or more.
  
  We can only book a few months ahead for our helpers so when you know your travel plans in our area send us an email and we can figure out the best time for you to come.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  It is a homely atmosphere here with plenty of social interaction with the guests from around the world and the friendly Piha locals. Also a good opportunity to improve your English language.
  
  Experience the New Zealand culture and people- We visit local community events for example ANZAC day and visit the local clubs - the Piha RSA, Piha Surf Lifesaving Club, Piha Bowling Club where you can meet local people and experience the real New Zealand culture and not the usual tourist thing. As this is also my home with my family of my 12 year old son and Layla the dog we have birthdays and other holiday celebrations which you can be involved in.
  
  Learn about gardening and NZ native plants and the removal of invasive weeds with our project restoring the native ecosystem on the property and in the local community.
  
  Learn and improve your surfing skills. Piha is popular for surfing and a hub for beach culture. I can give you my local knowledge and advice as a Piha Lifeguard and Surfer.
  
  You will also learn how to run a guesthouse and we can teach you to use the booking management system (several of our helpers have gone on to open their own accommodation businesses after their experience here)
  
  Learn the guitar - we have two here for you to use and many of our helpers have started playing guitar while staying here.
  There are also many awesome bush and beach walks and waterfalls nearby and you will have plenty of time off to explore the area and its and culture.
