Description
Hi, we live on a lifestyle block, no animals for the moment. We offer a secluded and private setting with beautiful country views. We have an organic veggie garden and fruit trees. We are looking for help with general maintenance of the property, weeding, mowing, trimming, chopping and stacking firewood. All will be outdoor work, painting of buildings, cleaning outdoor decking. We are in the North-West of Auckland, 12 minutes from Muriwai Beach. You have your own accommodation with own bathroom. Your accommodation is separate from the house, you have your own little studio. We can organize pick up from a bus stop if you don't have your own car. We love cultural exchange and good food. We like to host 2 people at the time.

They made us feel like home, we even had a very cosy tiny house for us. We did mainly outside work, from weeding to firewood stacking. The tasks were very clear and we shared a lot during our tea breaks :)
Waimauku is just 15min from Muriwai beach, which is splendid. Bedankt Patsy and Ivo, we already miss you!
