    Description

    We are a family of 3 that includes me and our two sons Reuben 27 and Jericho 29. Their father, my husband has died.

    We live in Sandringham, Auckland which is 5-6 km from CBD and also beach in different direction. There are many beaches and scenic places to visit, plus nearby islands.

    Reuben and Jericho live here when they are not if not overseas. Lola, our black cat aged 2 is here. The cat in the photo died a few years ago.

    The help is mostly in the garden and varies according to the time of year.
    At times there is outdoor painting or a DIY project if a workaway has knowledge of using electric tools.

    We have had many workaways in the past and enjoy having guests from other countries to stay.
