  Description

  ***Urgent help from woofers needed in the Far North***
  Kia Ora,
  our family of 3 is living in the Kaeo/Whangaroa Area in the beautiful winterless Far North of New Zealand. Claudia is from Germany and Cameron is from New Zealand. We both speak German and English. We are open to any language to learn a few words.
  We are in the process of moving further towards Auckland and need help with the move. On our Homestay we have 3 dogs, 1 goats and 1 sheep. Our goat Maria is going to bless us soon with kid/baby goats. Then we will be milking her. Our dogs are friendly and love to play fetch. The woofers would be helping us with the house move and looking after the animals. Tasks like feeding or moving them as well as trimming feet or making sure they have fresh water.
  We are happy with any kind of help at this stage and it would help if you can use power tools. Cameron is also happy to teach people how to use them.
  Right now Claudia needs help inside the house with sorting things and cleaning as well as feeding, moving and caring for the animals. We will also require help to clear up the rest of the outside.
  My husband and I we like to go fishing and hunting and are happy to show and educate people about it. We also like to relax on the many close beaches or in the local hot pools called Ngawha Springs.
  We enjoy home grown food that we produce ourselves, especially meat. We have just harvested one of our cows and can provide home grown beef, lamb and pork.
  Please contact us, we are looking forward to hearing from you.
  Kind regards
  Cameron, Claudia & Minna
