Description
Hi. We are a couple with a 13 year old son and a dog. We live 15 minutes drive from Whangarei and 15 minutes from Pataua North. I also travel daily out to the beautiful Tutukaka Coast if you want to explore out there. We have a new home with a self contained flat, suitable for one person, a couple or more if pre- arranged. The flat allows you to have your own private space with a kitchen, bathroom and internet. There are loads of walks, bike rides and beach activities. We like hiking, surfing, bike riding and skateboarding (we have a half pipe too). We are looking for easy going people who can help with some gardening and maybe some cleaning for only a few hours a day. Pataua North is our closest beach. A stunning beach and an awesome bridge to jump off if you dare!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are New Zealanders who spent several years living abroad and we enjoy meeting new people. I am a primary school teacher and my partner is a builder. We are quite active and would enjoy showing you around.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
Gardening, some light cleaning, maybe take the dog for a walk, possibly help with community projects if there are any we are involved in at the time. We are part of our local landcare and help with this sometimes. There is a possibility to help out at a local school if you are interested, or if you like you can help with building projects, but not required. Mostly you'll be left to work independently,but sometimes we'll work on projects together.

Accommodation
Completely self-contained, fully furnished one bedroom flat with a queen bed (can add a single bed) and its own lounge, kitchen, bathroom, heating and internet. This is attached to the end of our home and has a big deck. We also have a cabin available if there are more than two. We will provide all bedding and bed linen and access to our washing machine and dryer. You would have your own privacy. We are happy to provide food , maybe you'd like to have meals with us (or perhaps you want to do your own thing, if you prefer). There is plenty of parking if you have a camper or van.
What else ...
Beach, surfing, hiking through native forest and ocean views, waterfalls nearby, skateboarding, bike rides. Whangarei city only 15 minutes drive away. Get your town fix when you need it! Shops, movies, Whangarei town Basin with the hunterwasser centre and yachts. There are buses in town, electric scooters and it's fairly easy to buy a second-hand car if you are planning to stay in N.Z for a while and travel around. We are happy to pick you up from town and can drive you into town if it works in with our schedule.
