Beschreibung
Hi there! I’m Megan, an American expat that fell for a kiwi, my husband Jamie. I work from home 3 days a week with the occasional day trip to Auckland, Jamie works in town (Thames) at a native tree nursery. We have a 7 month old son August and a 2 year old pup Scarlett. We live on the beautiful Thames coast, our property is surrounded in bush, but just a 5 min walk to the beach and an awesome cafe. We are working to clear our property of invasive things like ginger root, wattles and your everyday weeds. We are looking for people that are happy working outdoors.

We’re happy to offer our home as a stop off on your travels. We’re a great home base for activities around the coromandel peninsula such as hiking, fishing charters, canyoning, kayaking, etc. As a family we love going for walks, spending the afternoon at the beach, watching the stars from our inflatable spa and having Jamie’s parents round for dinner catch ups, you’re welcome to join us.
Jamie is very knowledgeable about native plants and animals and makes for a great NZ nature guide.
We don’t travel much these days with the little guy so we are looking forward to hearing travel stories and having some extra hands around the house.Projekte mit Kindern

Arbeit
Our main goal we’d love help with would be garden work and clearing around the property. We’re working to clear the invasive species and create a pristine native bush. Occasionally we need someone to house sit and look after Scarlett. We aren’t currently looking for childcare.

You would be staying in our downstairs bedroom which we use as a living room when not occupied. It has a very comfy pull out L shaped couch which is equivalent to a double bed. There’s a closet you can use and a tv with streaming apps. As it is a bedroom there’s a door that closes. We’ll provide all linen, bath and beach towels. Across the hall is a bathroom with a shower, bath and toilet as well as laundry. The bathroom is shared, but we also have another full bathroom upstairs where our room and Auggie’s room is.
In exchange for 4 hours of work a day we offer light breakfast & lunch supplies that you can help yourselves to and then a sit down dinner at night. We believe in a community kitchen approach - where everyone pitches in. So if you cook, we’ll do the dishes and vice versa. If you notice the dishwasher is full - run it, if you notice it’s clean, help us out with an unstack and so on.Was noch ...
You’re welcome to borrow beach chairs and the kayak. We might be able to provide some transport if needed, so long as it’s agreed in advance. It is easier if you have your own car.
We tend to enjoy a few beers or a glass of red with dinner, if you’re planning to enjoy a few drinks while you’re here it would be great if you brought some of your own. We’d appreciate no heavy drinking.
We eat everything, but can cater to vegetarian or pescatarian.
We would ask if you could be conscious of noise in the bedroom at night as it is below Auggie’s. He goes to bed around 7p and we typically have dinner at about 7:30. We’re up most days by 6:30/7a.
We kindly ask that you don’t smoke at our property.Etwas mehr Information
