Description
My little humble place is in it's early stages of becoming a little retreat and clinic for holistic/herbal treatments including Ayurvedic medicine/ Yoga and a few other modalities. There is yet a lot to be built and planted so some good helping hands and creativity is welcome! My few animals would enjoy company while I'm away for work (carpentry) on most weekdays and current tasks range from animal care, gardening and household. Beautiful east coast beaches are 15-20 minutes away for surfing, fishing or just chillin and enjoying a spa. There is also some nice hiking treks and bush walks nearby so if you have a car that would help making the most of your spare time! Any musical skills or interests are always welcome :)

Help
At the moment I mainly need help in the pine forest with fallen over trees from the storm so a set of of strong hands and muscles are preferred at the moment but there is also a wide range of jobs ranging from animal care, household chores, cooking, weeding and gardening/planting trees, sometimes building projects and maintenance work.

Accommodation
Sleeping spots would currently be in a caravan which is almost finished with a renovation project and can sleep two.
Food will be partly organic and from the land/garden and partly supermarket food.. depending on my outbound job situation guests should generally be self sufficient with cooking during the day though dinners can be teamworked
What else ...
Spa pool up and running (soon) 24/7 - a little luxury for the colder mornings and evenings. Mangawhai beaches for surfing and swimming are 15 minute drive away.. beautiful bushwalks on Kings road 15 minutes away. Piroa waterfalls 15 min and Waipu glow worm caves 30 minutes drive away.
Ideal to have a car and visit those in spare time, well worth it.
