Description
Hello, we're Tracy and Angus and we live on a 6 acre block in Riverhead, 25 minutes by car from Central Auckland. We're wanting help with clearing trees and plants, weeding, planting, mulching, painting, water blasting, caring for our horses and cleaning up our paddock, forest, and pond. We also have some building jobs to do.
It's a great place to stay, Workawayers get their own apartment including its own bedroom, kitchen, TV, bathroom and lounge, sunny deck, and an awesome view of the harbour and across to Auckland City. If you have a great attitude and love working outdoors, let us know if you want to come & stay!
