    Description

    My partner and I have brought our first home a year ago and made some steady progress with the gardens, however we still have a long way to go.
    You would be doing general yard and garden work like:weeding, lawn mowing, pruning, and assisting on fence building.

    We are nestled in the heart of Marton township. Very close walk to all the amenities.
    Bus stop in town also.
    We have 2 cats and 1 miniature foxy dog.
    You must be ok with animals as the animals have free range of the back yard, which is where the sleep out is that you would be staying in.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Use our place as your home away from home, adventure out and explore the beautiful rangitikei area.
    Plenty of access to the ruahine ranges, with a few tramping tracks and huts accessible 20-30mins via car.
    Bars and restaurants just down the road and we are half way between Palmerston North and Whanganui.
    We are a very down to earth chill young family with just one baby.
