Details
Description
We are a family of 4, living on 1 acre, 20 minutes drive west of Whangarei.
Parts of the property are very overgrown and require some attention.
We are flexible with days/times.
We are keen to have two people at a time.
As we are not on a public transport route, please ensure you have your own transport.
Feel free to work 3 hours per day or do it all at once and have the rest of the time off.
We have been far and wide but our travels have come to a halt since we have moved here, so we look forward to hearing all about yours!

Kelly and David were very friendly and helpful and wanted us to have a great time.
Although we didn't have a car, we could do several trips because Kelly and David were always willing to give us a ride when they drove to work.
We would recommend this lovely host family to everyone.
