  • Description

    Description

    We are a family with two young kids (8 & nearly 5) and one teenager living at home in the beautiful coastal town of Mangawhai. 1.5hours north of central Auckland. We have 1hectare of land (1/3 of it is native growing bush) and require help with gardening and maintaining the property. Help with building/painting/decorating odd projects would be a massive bonus.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We would love to learn about other cultures and offer a true kiwi living experience in a beautiful village - bikes available for us and our location is close enough to walk to cafes and the estuary (decent walk to the estuary).

    We ideally would love help with gardening, weed whacking, pulling gorse from native bush, and handyman skills would be a massive bonus for help with various projects we have on to improve the house/shed/build garden beds.
