  Descripción

  We're a married couple with two grown up children who have left home and 1 cat, living on a beautiful property with stunning views overlooking Whangaroa Harbour in the Far North of New Zealand. We have a small and simple off-grid set up, and live surrounded by native bush.
  
  We are building an earth and straw bale roundhouse, and have vegetable gardens to tend to, so have plenty of work that needs to be done around the property! If you have an interest in natural building then we'd love to share our knowledge and experience, but there is also garden and general work to do around the property.
  
  We are looking for experienced helpers with great references who are happy and capable of doing physical work outside! We're open to singles or couples. In return for 4 hours work per person per day (with 2 days off per week), we'll provide a private room for accommodation, along with meals each day. We also have unlimited Wifi and mobile phone coverage.
  
  We have an outside composting toilet and an outside shower, and meals will be with us in the earth roundhouse. We are very lucky to live in such a beautiful and secluded spot, and our place will suit people wanting to be close to nature.
  
  The Whangaroa area has many beautiful beaches and stunning bush walks to explore, just a short drive away. And we're only 35 minutes from Kerikeri if you wish to explore the Bay of Islands. Or head north from us to visit Cape Reinga and the Te Pake sand dunes.

  It would be great if you have experience in earth building! Otherwise, experience with garden machinery (lawnmower, weed eater) and gardening generally would be really useful.
