Description
Sorry guys, I didn't realize our account had re-activated, hence the poor response rate. Tash, the boys and I have just moved back into our home from renting it out. Tash is in Human Resources and Peter is a Primary school teacher who is suffering from long covid.
We have recently moved back into our small property north of Hamilton in the mighty Waikato, we have a variety of bits and pieces that we would appreciate help with which may include gardening, property maintenance and household chores. We are currently doing a small bit of renovation to our house, if you are a keen painter we have some painting to be done, if you are not into painting we have a couple of other projects on the go. We have two energetic boys (11 and 9 years old) who love board games and cooking so do not be surprised if you end up playing games all evening.
Non-smokers only please. We offer all meals (we eat mainly vegetarian, but with occasional chicken and fish). We offer a small caravan to sleep in, in exchange for 4 hours help per day, we have had an increased number of people all to stay lately, to help more travelers out we offer a maximum of 7 days accommodation. Glen Massey is 30km from Hamilton, 10km from local town. SH1 is 10 minutes away where we can pick up from the bus stop in Ngaruawahia. We prefer self-motivated people who can work unsupervised once the tasks are understood.
I need to cut out some privet from our property, if you have hay fever or asthma this is not a place for you.
Non-smokers only please.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Whilst located in a village there are no shopping facilities within walking distance. Quiet, peaceful village. Located 9km away are the beautiful scenic tracks through the Hakarimata ranges. The walks vary from 2 hours to 7 & 1/2 hours. Glow worms can be seen a short way in on this track at night. The village is 40 minutes from Raglan beach which is world famous for surfing.
