  Description

  We are a family of five living on beautiful Waiheke Island (a 40-min ferry ride from Auckland City). Waiheke has many award-winning vineyards, coastal tracks, bush walks, and beautiful beaches.
  
  We need some help with general house maintenance like weeding, mulching, window cleaning, and water blasting. In return we can offer a comfortable bed, three meals a day and the occasional use of a car.
  
  The tasks we need help with include:
  - weeding
  - mulching
  - landscaping
  - window cleaning
  - painting/staining
  - spring cleaning.
  
  We are seeking a person or couple who are:
  
  - physically fit and strong
  - 25+ years to drive our car
  - people looking to stay 1-2 weeks helping 4 hours a day
  - dog friendly (we have a cavoodle)
  
  We are a busy family of three children. We enjoy being outside playing sport, walking our dog, going to the beach together. At our home you will have a comfortable bed and room, wifi, shared bathroom and three meals a day in exchange for 4 hours help.
