    I am mostly living on my own and usually enjoy the company of helpers. My kids who are in their 30s visit fairly frequently. I enjoy cooking and seem to have a reputation for producing excellent meals.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Spending time with me is likely to improve their english, and also give a good insight to New Zealand and the customs. They usually get an unforgetable experience at my place. They join in any social activities I get involved with, meet my friends and aquaintences, spend time in my boat on Lake Tarawera with trout fishing........hot water pools.

    Help

    I have a large section of some 2000m2 so there are gardens and general maintenance and upkeep around the property that needs doing. I myself am quite arthritic so am limited as to what I can do so help is always welcome. The tasks are not hard and I am not a slave driver either but offer good accomodation, excellent meals and food, unlimited wifi, for someone to come and stay. I have a Labrador dog who also needs looking after on occasions if I am away for the night for example. My home is large also with 5 bedrooms and there is always something to do in the house. I live out near Lake Tarawera and am a 20 minute car ride to Rotorua, so having a car is relatively important, although not essential. If you think this is a bit of you please get in touch and i will meet you in Rotorua to discuss. I am not looking for couples, just one person please. I find the people from Europe are really capable and I have had quite a few from the other site and they have loved the stay. I usually suggest a few days to see how we get along and if thats fine people can stay for a longer time.
