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.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The scenery is beautiful and there will be time to sight see and the possibility of coming with us to various sight seeing icons around Auckland.
Help
We would love to have a builder and/or a panel-beater/mechanic stay with us.
We are building some new cabins on our farm and could really use some help with them.
We also 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.
