  *2 August update:
  
  Dear Workawayers,
  
  Due to a change in hosting circumstances due to unforeseen events, I now only have a single room available. Please note the following:
  
  Regretfully applications for August are no longer being accepted.
  
  Applications for September will be considered for single Workawayers at a time. Two to three week requests, and short stay periods of a minimum of four nights will be considered if an applicant has particularly compelling skills and experience and is a solid worker.
  
  For the remainder of Spring, October November, enquiries are welcome but hosting periods and availability cannot be confirmed at this time.
  
  There is significant gardening, general maintenance, cleaning, and sorting work needing completion. High preference will be given to candidates with sound gardening experience, who are physically strong, resilient, self-directed, and content with at times tedious work. Those who enjoy cooking and would like to share their skills and recipes bonus marks!
  
  Looking forward to hearing from you!
  
  In the meantime wishing you safe travels till hopefully we meet!
  
  Cheers,
  Sam

  Hey I’m Sam! A former university lecturer, arts lover, and enthusiastic home cook and gardener, I live in the north shore of Auckland, in the relaxing beachside suburb of Hauraki, close to shops, cafes, restaurants, the bays, cycle and walking trails, and within easy access to the motorway system and the CBD. Beautiful Takapuna, Narrow Neck, and Milford Beaches are in close range. My home borders the Northboro Reserve, and is in a very quiet residential street.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  A sixth generation New Zealander, born and raised in Switzerland eight years, I love meeting people from all cultures and nations. Evening discussions about politics, the arts and culture I very much enjoy, as well as leaning new skills, be they cooking, technical, or practical. As a poet and writer, I can offer opportunities to learn the craft, and while working, tips on gardening, and my knowledge of antiques and collectables. My history of hiking and travelling in New Zealand and overseas may help you in planning further travels around the country!

  Was noch ...

  Plenty of activities to engage in locally for entertainment, leisure, fitness, and relaxation. A substantial range of retail shops, cafes, and restaurants in easy driving or walking range.
  Excellent beach walks including Takapuna, Milford, Narrow Neck and Cheltenham, as well as nature reserves.
  Very close to bus stations, and my home borders the Takapuna to Milford cycle and walking trail!
  Ferries a short drive away or longer walk departing from Devonport and Bayswater to the CBD and other destinations.
  Much to explore across the city, from art galleries and museums to markets, clubs, bars, day walks, west Auckland beaches and forests, boutique shops, and cultural and sporting events aplenty.
  Sorry no smoking, vaping or recreational drugs. Everything else very relaxed.
  During days it’s loosely anticipated breakfast at 8:00am, help 9-12. Lunch 12:45. help 2-4. Dinner at 6:00pm. This is very flexible to accommodate Work Awayer preferences and planned free time activities.
  Volunteers are welcome to assist with meal preparation, and to cook dishes of their choosing. At weekends guests may need to cook their meals, but food provisions will be available to cook from.
