Descrição
Currently booked through to April
We live on a small lifestyle block of 2 acres about 16km from Hamilton city outskirts with our young adult and school aged children. We have older children and grandchildren living in Ireland and the UK, as well as here in NZ. We are a retired couple and have hosted travelers for 16 years. We have had wonderful experiences with the many different people from varied cultures who have stayed and helped us during their travels.
We have a sheep, some hens, gardens and a small orchard. Our pets are one dog and a cat.
HEALTH PRECAUTION:
We are unable to have anyone stay who is a smoker or Vaper.
General Safety Precaution. Upon arrival visitors will be asked to show some identity, (passport maybe) and a contact phone number if available. Not only does this confirm your details but also because we have had past experiences where visitors have had emergencies (ie: getting lost, vehicle problems or medical issues), and we need to provide details to emergency workers so they can provide help

There are hiking trails in the Hakarimata Ranges (part of the Te Araroa Trail), where you can see glow worms at night or climb the steps (1349 of them) to the summit during the day, as well as cycling/hiking trails along the Waikato River (Te Awa River Ride), both just a few kilometres from our home and the smaller Paa site on Pukeahua hill provides an easier climb with great views too.
Bicycles are normally available to help you explore locally.
If you have your own transport the World Famous surf beach at Raglan is a 40 minute car ride, Hamilton city is 20 minutes from the local town of Ngaruawahia and the Waitomo caves and Hobbiton are an hour away. We are 5 kilometres from town where the number 21 bus travels regularly to and from Hamilton. We can collect bus travelers from the local bus stop in Ngaruawahia.
And if you need help with New Zealand Slang you could cut and paste the following link into your browser: facebook.com/watch/?mibextid=xfxF2i&rdid=1fnmOzQu0zP0IZpP&v=2044505295924683

Ajuda
Currently the fruit is ripe on the trees. We need help now picking and preserving this fruit for winter.
This task would suit working one day picking and preserving and then taking the next day until you had worked 3 full days. This gives you 4 days each week to explore the areas.
We always have ongoing tasks which, depending on the seasons, can include help in the gardens (weeding, pruning, planting, mulching, grass cutting, harvesting, preserving), cutting/pruning trees, chopping firewood, painting/renovating, building projects, as well as the always present household chores.
We do expect that those who eat meals assist with the preparation and cleanup as appropriate each day.
We appreciate people staying who are self motivated, have initiative, able to help with minimum supervision and who take pride in a task well done.
Idiomas
Inglês: Fluente
Acomodação
We have a separate basic cabin near the house with a double and a single bed. The living areas and the shared bathroom facilities are in the house.
We do have cellphone and Wifi coverage. We can collect you from the Ngaruawahia bus stop.
Algo mais...
If unable to get a national ticket (If bussing many use Intercity.co.nz ) direct to Ngaruawahia then at the Hamilton bus depot people can catch the local No 21 bus to Ngaruawahia. From there we can collect you.

I stayed with Don and Davina for 2 weeks, did some work, ate good food, walked the local hill with the 1359 steps a few times and had great company the whole time.
The location is great if you are interested in Maori culture, I even visited the Maori festival that was happening at the time.
Everything was great, thanks again for everything.
