Description
Edited profile & title to reflect we need someone to look after the animals from 28th Dec to 5th Jan. Ideally horsey but so long as you’re not scared of them it’ll be fine 😊. There will be a payment for this on our return.
We love having people in our house and think it's good for our children to learn about different cultures from an early age.
Kids are 12, 11, 9 & 7 and are into a variety of things. Especially ponies 😆 if you like ponies & kids then you’ll fit in very well!
If you’re experienced at riding horses there’s opportunities for you to ride! Currently our eldest is out of action with a fractured tail bone so her two ponies need exercised. (Not suitable for beginner riders sorry).
Accomodation would be in our house or if you’d like to bring a camper/caravan we would be happy to hook you into power.
Prior to contacting us please google Mokoreta and locate it on the map so you know where we are :).
Please only message us if you have experience with kids, understand that they're busy/noisy/messy …
So we know you have taken the time to read our whole profile when contacting us can you please tell us your favourite meal.
Regards,
Stu & Brooke

The girls are so nice and Brooke and Stu made me feel home :)
The help wasn't hard at all and on my free days I went to Curio Bay (45min by car) and I was swimming and surfing with dolphins.
And I will never forget taking the pony to the pub :)
Thanks for the awesome week.
