Description
We are a busy family of 4 + a large dog. We are lucky to live on gorgeous Waiheke Island 35 mins from downtown Auckland by ferry. We would like help with gardening / weeding, painting, home maintenance jobs, and to walk the dog when we are out. We both enjoy meeting people and travelling the world too. We have comfortable room for singles or couples located centrally on the island. The dog is big but young and super friendly, would like someone confident with energetic dogs please. We are happy to share our homelife but we both work full time so you will be working mostly independently. We are well suited to couples or individuals that are happy to explore the island independently in their free time.

And a lovely dog Basil ! He is very well educated.
I had one of my best stays here, Heather took a lot of time with me (visiting the island and vineyards) and it was great
Thank you again 🥰
They are really kind and available to make you discover the island as it should be. We had really great time in their home.
