Description
Hi I live on the beautiful Tutukaka coast on a large property. My project is around clearing weeds and regenerating native bush. I also have a dog and chickens so it would be great to have helpers who like dogs and wouldn’t mind walking the dog as part of the work. I work out of town and come home for weekends so this work away would suit a couple more than a single person if you like company.
Ngunguru where I live is a stunning seaside village where there is a lovely community and ready access to fishing, kayaking, diving, boating , swimming and surfing.
