    Description

    My husband and I live on 8 acres of land in West Auckland. Our son and his wife are also living on the property. We have a daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren that visit often. We live in Oratia, Waitakere, just 25 minutes from the city centre and airport. We are a 20-30 minute drive from the beautiful West Auckland beaches of Piha, Bethalls, Karikari and Muriwai. There are many forest walks very close in the Waitakere Ranges. We have 6 sheep, 3 miniature dachshund dogs, white runner ducks and chickens. We are nestled in the bush in a valley with a gentle stream at the bottom of the property which we swim in during the summer. We have a spa/jacuzi. Often we have a spare car for your use on your days off.

    Help

    We would love to have a panel-beater or a mechanic stay with us.
    We need help with rebuilding a retro motor-home - panel beating, painting the body work, replacing the cab with a new one etc.
    We also have 3 miniature dachshunds which we breed so a love of dogs would be helpful but not crucial, but keep in mind that they are indoors with us.
