Description
We are a retired couple living on 3 acres at Whangapoua on the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula in the North Island of New Zealand.
Whangapoua Beach is a beautiful white sandy beach with famous New Chums beach next door. If you like beaches ,Coromandel Peninsula is a great place to visit. There are plenty of areas to explore and walks to do. You would need your own transport.
We require assistance maintaining our property. 3 or 4 hours a day, but we are flexible. Primarily gardening and would suit a single person, two friends or a couple. If you are a home handy man that would be a bonus. In exchange we would provide food and accommodation ( your bedroom is in our family home and you would only need to share your bathroom if/when we had visitors)
