Description
I'm a Mum of two beautiful children aged 4 and 10 months. We live next door to my husbands parents.
We live on a lifestyle block in Āria (South Waikato), about 10 mins from Pio Pio.
We have a friendly group of family living around us & the rural outlook is stunning!
I work as an administrator for 2 hours everyday, from home.
We'd love to spend time with like-minded people from all over the world! One day we hope to do some Workaways in other countries too.
Any help around the house would be great, both indoors and outdoors.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We often attend activities in our local community & you'd always be welcome to attend!
My husband is a qualified builder, logger and all round good guy who is happy to share his skills in farming and building. He loves a laugh!
We'd love our kids to be meet new people from other cultures, we've both travelled extensively and love meeting new people!
I'd be more than happy to help with the english language as I used to be an English teacher in Slovenia.
We'd love to introduce you to our friends all over New Zealand. We have a house near the sea and also a house near Mt Ruapehu, so would be happy for you to come with us to those too!

Accommodation
We have a cabin with one double bed & a single bed. Along with a fridge for your use too. This cabin is separate from the house but you'll share our bathroom inside the house.
We will provide bedding, towels and sheets.
We'd be happy to provide breakfast (toast/cereal), coffee/tea, lunch (usually sandwiches) and dinner (usually meat and vegetables).
What else ...
It would be really helpful if you had your own transport as we live 10 mins drive from the nearest town (cafe and a bakery there), 30 mins drive from the nearest larger town where there is a supermarket.
We would be happy to take you to town with us when we go (which is usually once every fortnight).
We have a young family so are not keen on drinking too much alcohol at home.
