####A current project is converting a van into a camper so carpentry skills valued.
Also building a retaining wall and trimming trees.####

Hello ,Are you handy, practical and skilled creating and fixing things around the home?
I have a large, comfortable home in a leafy, suburban area of West Auckland called Titirangi. And a little holiday cabin near Thames in Coromandel.
My home is friendly, sociable and fun
I am seeking help on building projects, gardening, landscaping,home maintenance, painting,cleaning, plumbing etc. We have plenty of space and there is ALWAYS work to be done. We like to create funky things and spaces using up-cycled and recycled materials.
Our home is in a lovely part of the city fringe close to bush, beach and funky cafes and bars. We have bikes etc and can lend a car for local travel if you have license and are over 25 for the insurance
Auckland City is an easy commute. We also have projects at our cabin in Thames.
We have been hosting Work -awayers for 6 and a half years now. Please see our great feedback.
An ideal stay is between 4 and 10 days.
We would love to exchange accommodation and food and hospitality in exchange for your help.
Would suit a couple or 2 friends who will keep each other company when not working.

Couples with reasonable English preferred.
Stay between 3 and 14 days

We would be just as happy with a couple or two friends. Especially if that brings extra skills.

She'll take you out for a trip if she can, and can point you towards interesting parts of town. The bus stop is near the house, so you can make trips if you like.
