  Description

  We are an older couple wishing to prepare our small farm for sale. We have some fencing and gardening tasks that needs doing so we can put the farm up for sale before it becomes too much for us.
  We live 35km from the nearest town and we love the privacy and peacefulness of country living.
  I love to cook and always enjoy having people to cook for.

  What's this?
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I am a retired teacher and am very happy to help with English language. I am also a cooking teacher and am very happy to teach cooking from many countries.
  We are happy to lend you a car to go into the local town where there are many things to do and see. The coast, about an hour away is good for surfing, fishing or swimming. There are many interesting walks and tramping hikes into the hills.

  Help

  Just looking for someone who is practical. General skills and a strong back would be most helpful. The heavy stuff is getting too much for my husband.
  My husband is very knowledgeable and will do tasks along side of you but could use a hand at the heavier bits - fence posts, storing wood, clearing the vegetable garden.
