    Hi !

    Hope you're doing great.

    We live just outside Havelock North. We have a beautiful property and a large interesting house.

    In terms of work, we just need general help. There's always something to do on the property or in the house. you can generally do tasks that suit you. The types of tasks we have are:
    - Gardening.
    - Tending to things in the paddocks
    - Cleaning the house (windows, deep cleans)
    - Clean the pool
    - Helping prepare the house for painting.
    - Helping paint the house.

    We are a friendly and relaxed. There is myself (37), Olaf (14) and our cat Zazou. Daphne (olafs mother) will be around a little bit, she lives just down the rd. Olaf is here half the time, and with Daphne half the time. We like the outdoors, reading, computers, etc.

    I am very fit, and do a lot of small hikes on Te Mata Peak. About 1 hour drive away is the Ruahines Mountain Range which is more serious mountain hiking.

    We also enjoy playing tennis and squash, running, yoga, meditation, working out in our small home gym, chess, playstation, biking, hunting, kayaking, surfing. You are welcome to join us in adventures, or use these toys. If you are very lucky, I might also give you a kite surfing lesson... We are very happy to reward hard work with doing small or large adventures!

    Look forward to hearing from you soon.
