    Description

    We live on 5 acres right on the coast with a spring fed swimming pond. We have lived here over 20 years, building our home and re-vegetating part of the property. We are seeking help with general gardening and house maintenance / clean. We all work off the property and have got behind on tending to things. We need help! We are looking for 4 hours work a day, keen, willing, motivated people. In return we offer meals and accommodation is a large room with a queen bed and private bathroom (and spectacular view).

    As we are 30 minutes from Whangarei, can collect you from there if you don't have a vehicle.

    Our place is right on the Taiharuru Estuary, Whangarei Heads. We are 2km from Pataua Estuary and near Ocean Beach and Bream Head. It's ridiculously beautiful. Surfing, kayaking, fishing, walking, bird watching, generally blissing!!
