Description
We have a small lifestyle block approx 24 kms from Auckland City centre.
We are 8 minutes from one of New Zealand`s largest Westfield shopping Malls (Albany) with the Massey University Campus across the road from the Mall.
We are also 15 minutes away from a number of beautiful beaches, parks, walking and cycling tracks.
Our home is fairly small but a comfortable 3 bedroom home.
It is just my husband and me plus our little dog with no children living at home.
Our home is surrounded by beautiful gardens and native bush.
We are looking for an individual or a couple who enjoy being outdoors. We have general garden work, firewood needing to be prepared for next winter, some painting work and general lifestyle block maintenance. We also have housework and some assistance with meals.
* Update * - all our firewood is in for this winter, we are looking for an individual or couple who can help with our gardens, help move some mulch, do some painting if you have some experience, help with a spring clean in our home.
Guests will have there own seperate bedroom with a queen size bed but a shared bathroom, shared meals and shared living area.
