  Description

  We are a busy friendly family of 2.
  We need help on our 5 acre rural property. We live 1.5 hours drive north of Auckland near the small coastal holiday town of Mangawhai.
  We have a few sheep and gardens to help maintain...
  We live in a beautiful rural area 7 kms from 2 white sandy surf beaches, and 7 kms from the village. We have a lovely room with views and a deck, for you to stay in and your own bathroom.
  There is no local transport so the person/people would definitely need their own transport to visit the area.
  I am looking for mature, trustworthy, self motivated and independent people, who are willing to help and get the job done. In return you'll be warmly welcomed, have a lovely private room/living area and delicious evening meals cooked for you. I also provide some breakfast and lunch items for you to prepare yourselves in your kitchen area. You can provide your own snacks. I expect help cleaning up the evening mealtime dishes together, and cleaning the accommodation area you've stayed in before you leave. This is not considered part of your 5 hours, just part of living with someone 🙂
