    We are a relaxed family of four (two daughters) on beautiful Waiheke Island. We have 7.5acres, 360 degree views and need some help in our garden. We have a separate bedroom and bathroom in our garden. Waiheke island offers beautiful beaches, walks, vineyards and a thriving community life.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We have lived in and visited many countries between us and settled on Waiheke eight years ago (from London, with 11 months of world travel on the way). We would love to expose our daughters (12 and 15) to other cultures and new people. Waiheke had a vibrant community. We would have dinner with you during the week and all meals in the weekend (or whichever ones you want to share!).
