    Hi travelers

    Physically capable person is what I need!
    Lots of outside work (digging a small trench, tidying up flax, mowing lawns and gardening).

    Anyone is welcome to stay (young, not so young, male or female)

    We have a variety of chores so most skills can be utilised!

    We live on a small lifestyle block near Masterton, NZ.

    Its a relaxed household and very flexible hours!

    We have 2 children (boy 14yr & girl 17yr). We live on a block (60 hectares) near Masterton. We have 6x ponies, a dog and a parrot. There is tramping (bush walking), beach is an hour away, we are only 1.5hrs north of Wellington. We like energetic people who want to be part of our small family. We are a very busy family so you have to be an motivated person who can work on your own.

    Please contact me if you are interested.
