Description
We live on a lifestyle block one hour north of Auckland and we have 3 daughters who are at university and come and go during the holidays etc. We live in a small rural community around 15 minutes from our local township of Warkworth. We also work on our sheep and beef farm which is close by. Our local Kaipara Flats sports club hosts many sporting facilities including tennis, cricket etc and is only a couple of kms away.
Our farm has beautiful views across the Kaipara Harbour and our home is surrounded by a river with 3 dogs , chickens, animals and vege gardens. We live close to some beautiful beaches and fishing spots which we frequent often. We are keen for some help on our lifestyle block and in and around our home. This may include help in our garden and with other general rural tasks such as planting, mowing lawns and ground keeping, help to fix fences, household chores and help to look after the animals at our home. -
