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.
Help
I need help with weed eating (using a battery operated strimmer) and removing some gorse. Possibly house painting as well if someone had experience.

Accommodation
Very nice, large guest room with a Queen bed and also a single bed. Suitable for a couple or 2 friends.
Looking to provide 3 meals a day and accommodation in return for work
What else ...
There is no public transport, you will need your own vehicle. The Bay of Islands is a beautiful and popular destination to explore.
You will need to like dogs as I have 3, and occasionally look after other dogs as well.
