Description
Hello,
My husband and I live on a lifestyle block in Waipu, Northland. Waipu is a small rural town near Waipu Cove and Langs Beach, which are both beautiful beaches along the East Coast. I have signed up to Workaway to connect with travellers looking to find their way around NZ. We would love some help in the gardens and doing odd jobs around the house. We are looking for either a couple or an individual to come and stay with us. We would appreciate you doing 4 hours per day of help for accommodation and food. I work 2 days a week, those evenings you will have the opportunity to cook for yourselves at my expense or I can prepare meals before work. We are very flexible. You will have your own space upstairs where there are two bedrooms and one bathroom and a little lounge area otherwise you can make yourself at home sharing the downstairs lounge and kitchen.
My husband loves to get out fishing so I am sure if that was something you would be into, he can take you on an adventure, fishing in the Bream Bay area or to visit the farm!
Please don't hesitate to get in touch for more info.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
Thanks
Vicki & Mac

Very respectful and were available for any tasks we gave them.
They were able to paint our garage ...a fabulous task sorted before Xmas!
Our barn was organised and all Heavy Duty shelving was errected!
They were both wonderful in the garden with weeding.
Highly recommended!
