Informationen
Beschreibung
Our names are John and Laura, James and Liz and the 2 kids, Pam and Richard, Wayne and Snow, we live In OREWA AUCKLAND, in a Native Forest.
We would love some help.
Forest care and maintenance. Maybe some tree planting.
There are some other chores in the house, garden and forest - eg. strimming, spraying weeds. We ask our helpers for 4 hours' help for every night they stay, in exchange for accommodation and 3 meals a day. (We provide the food- you cook it in your kitchenette) We live on a hill where there is no public transport, so a car would be better for you. You are most welcome to stay about 2 weeks, or longer if it suits us all. Free Wifi is also available. You will have your own separate private cabin accommodation.
We are close to the beach, coffee shops and minutes from the highway North and to Auckland. The forest is beautiful and we are a friendly group of people living in a cooperative community.

Orewa is a very beautiful place with good beaches. There are lots of great hikes and walks in National parks close by. Also lots of shops and cafes. Our own forest is ancient and beautiful. You will find all the older people who live here are very kind. You will learn about forest conservation and the New Zealand lifestyle.
Arbeit
A very little digging - planting native trees. Strimming (weed whacker machine) Spraying. Other general garden work and sometimes other maintenance jobs and projects.

SWIMMING POOL, SPA POOL. Little FOREST WALK, BICYCLES, RESORT type grounds at Woofer cabin. We are on a hill so it is 2 km to the bus stop in Orewa village. Many nearby beaches. Okura Valley Hike. Wenderholme Park on beach. Shakespear Park on beach. Lots to see in Auckland!
Please- we expect some very hard and concentrated work from our Wwoofers- it's just 4 hours a day, then all the rest of the time is your own. Time off for 2 days every about 5 days. But probably not always on Saturday and Sundays.

She has a calm and sweet personality and so friendly.
She was very willing to help and conscientious. She always worked hard at any job.
It was like she was part of the family from the second day.
Nice, private accommodation. We enjoyed a peaceful two weeks on the Hibiscus Sun Club property. A few members stopped by once or twice a week, but we otherwise had the place to ourselves. The pool and hot spa pool were a plus, and the native bush is beautiful and full of native birds! Free wifi is available at John & Laura’s… read more
