  • Description

    Description

    I live in the Central Bay of Islands on around 8 acres of land - half pasture and half native bush. I am in the final stages of renovating a house. I'd welcome someone who could help get the grass (and some weeds) under control.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I am a New Zealander in my 50's with 3 dogs. Have travelled, happy to talk with anyone.
    The property is handy to Paihia and Kerikeri, you would need to have your own transport. It's a very peaceful, rural setting.
