Description
We are a family of five living in New Plymouth New Zealand. We are interested in help with maintaining our garden, trees, and land. We live on a double section beside the beach, and workers of one or two at a time can live in our airbnb guest cottage in the backyard. We'll provide room and three meals in exchange for a few hours work a day.

We are right beside the beach and the two local surf clubs. We would happily lend you a board and take you out for a surf! Our three young kids are ages 6 months, 3.5, and 5 years old. They're curious about the world, and would love to meet new people. We are an international family, both Kiwi and American.
