Beschreibung
Hi! We are Viv and Paul. We live on a 1 hectare property in the Waipu hills 8 mins drive from the village. At the moment most of the tasks would be gardening and fire wood and some repair tasks.
We are a quiet, educated and well travelled couple who enjoy the company of others. Retired now. Age 66 and 67. Viv's hobbies are gardening and painting/art. Paul loves to read and walk our beaches. We both like to travel in our caravan any chance we can. We love riding our e-bikes when we travel. Previous employment included massage therapy / art /horticulture/ air crew /economist and a lot of escapism.

Recommended to all hosts. They eat anything except gluten, but it wasn't a problem.
Always cheerful and did every job we asked of her without complaint. We wish her well for the rest of her time in NZ and are sure she will do well as she has a very likeable personality.
During my stay I helped out in the garden, mostly weeding and wood gathering and a bit of veggie planting. Tasks were reasonable and well explained.
We had plenty of great conversations and I was even shown around Waipu and the beach.… read more
