Description
We have a lifestyle block that is set up for horses about 1 hour from Auckland City centre.
We are 10 minutes away from the township of the Pukekohe.
Our home is fairly small but a comfortable 3 bedroom home.
It is just my husband and me plus our little dog Sammy & cat Sparky, with no children living at home.
Our home is surrounded by gardens, trees, a large arena and paddocks.
We are looking for an individual or a couple who enjoy being outdoors.
We have general garden help, firewood needing to be prepared for next winter, some painting help, mulch needing to be moved to gardens and general lifestyle block tasks.
Guests will have there own separate bedroom with a King size bed but a shared family bathroom, shared meals and shared living area.
We enjoy having people stay who would like to be a part of our lifestyle, maybe play a board game if that’s your thing or go out and about with us.
Come stay and enjoy our beautiful piece of New Zealand.
