Details

  Description

  We are a family of three: Tim, Annika and almost 2-year old Kiara. Travellers ourselves we finally settled in beautiful Warkworth and have been renovating our first home over the last few years, set up a fruit and vegetable garden etc. We are both working part-time and life can be busy, hectic and -with a toddler running around - the house a wee bit messy sometimes! :) We are a social bunch, passionate sailors and would love to have someone stay who is keen to join into our general outdoorsy lifestyle.
  
  We need helpers that are independent, do not mind getting out of bed in the morning and who are willing to join into everyday life. We can host individuals, and couples (please discuss re sleeping arrangements).

  We have one spare bedroom with a king single bed, shared bathroom. We also have a thick queen sized futon for couples to use - please contact us to discuss! We love to cook and share meals, although we sometimes get quite busy during the week so would appreciate help with preparing meals/cleaning up afterwards!

  What else ...

  Warkworth is surrounded by beautiful regional parks and beaches, hiking trails and kiwi spotting opportunities. Public transport in and out of Auckland is excellent, and some of the beaches are reachable via bus as well. We are often heading for little hiking/beach adventures on the weekends, and would love to host keen sailors as well!
