Description
I'm Jane and I have a long family history with this beautiful property. Spen, my partner, and I, enjoy working on the property, to preserve its natural beauty though she has less experience with gardening than I.
The truth is, whilst the mind is willing, the body is not keeping up as much as it used to, so we are in need of some enthusiastic, hard working peeps, who can help us out.
We both enjoy a healthy, outdoor, lifestyle and the benefits of this beautiful and peaceful environment.
Coromandel Peninsula is a stunning location with lots of coastline, swimming opportunity and tramping options.
The Coromandel town itself is small (pop 1000) with a well supplied supermarket, chemist, doctor, cafes etc.
It is home to a small artist community.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
My partner Spen and I have a genuine interest in people, their cultural backgrounds and life experience.
We both enjoy humour, cooking, music, and health and fitness.
I have a broad knowledge of the Coromandel peninsula with plenty of recommendations about the sights that are worthwhile seeing.
Help
The help require a level of fitness to undertake as per the following : weeding, wood chopping, mulching, planting, raking, composting, general garden jobs including weed eating.
On rainy days the focus would be more on interior household jobs
A level of resourcefulness and practicality with a knowledge of gardening specifically would be welcomed.
General house maintenance and building skills would be a great bonus.

English: Fluent
Accommodation
The studio is separate from the main house and was converted into a self contained space for people to stay so it has some cooking facilities, a fridge and a seperate bathroom.
Food for meals would be provided and some dinners will be cooked.
Any alcoholic beverages you would need to provide.
****There is only one queen bed so the studio is best suited for couples
Laundry facilities would be shared.
What else ...
Couples preferred, same sex couples welcomed.
***Be aware, having ones own transport will serve you well as public transport in the area is VERY limited in and around the region.
There is a single car park space on site.
