    Description

    Experience the rural lifestyle.. we have a small lifestyle farmlet in Waitoki, Auckland, NZ, approx. a 30min drive from Auckland City (in no traffic). We are a 15-20 min drive to lots of locations, such as a lovely beaches or a waterfall for swimming, shops, movie theaters, supermarkets etc.

    We are a social family looking to welcome people into our home to help with all the commitments that come with owning 10 acres, 2 cats, sheep, cows, chickens, an orchard, a barns, two ponds, lots of fences, even more weeds and a never ending procession of 'good ideas'

    Sam & Tess are your hosts, we have 3 adult children, who are sometimes living with us. We are looking for helpers 24yrs and older, who are interested in physical tasks, helping us with the garden mainly, although we always have projects on the go. We are currently working on plans for 3 new gardens, a Flower & Vege garden, a Japanese garden and a Formal garden.

    Please let us know what dates you are available and how long a stay you are looking for so we can see if we have availability.
