    Kia ora!

    Haere mai! We are a family that loves to be outside, play, dance, sing, read, talk, and meet new people from around the world.

    Jason works in IT and loves skateboarding, snowboarding, climbing and other related pursuits. Ann works as a play consultant and spends the rest of her time gardening, doing yoga, dancing, climbing trees and riding her bike. Sydelle (20), Nova (16), and Felix (13) do the stuff that kids do, and Matilda the dog hasn't provided a report about what she does all day... Silver is the most chilled out bunny you'll ever meet.... and we also have a couple of chickens.

    Originally from the states, we have lived here for 23 years, and love this part of the world. We feel really lucky to have a beautiful home in Bayswater with views of the sea and city skyline, close to the action in Auckland but surrounded by peaceful coastline and beautiful trees.

    We are trying to reduce/reuse/recycle our waste, buying local organic/free range or using produce from our own garden wherever possible. We've been vegan/vegetarian in the past but currently flexitarian!

    Our guest bedroom is suitable for a single traveler, two travelers, or two travelers with a smallish child.

    Please get in touch, we would love to welcome you as a guest into our home, feel free to borrow our bikes, paddleboards, surfboards, skateboards, etc. to go out and explore.

    Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

    We have immersed ourselves in Kiwi culture, and our children have all grown up here. Ann has strong interest in Te Reo and Tikanga Maaori, having volunteered within bicultural organisations for many years.

    Ann advocates for children's right to play in public outdoor spaces and at school, and would welcome sharing ideas with like-minded travelers interested in forest schooling, democratic schooling, environmental education, etc.

    Jason is able to share an insiders perspective on the NZ tech culture, and is always keen for political or philosophical debate. Our kids are also a source of cultural exchange :
    Sydelle is at University studying psychology
    Nova is the artist
    Felix has a love of games and mathematics

    We are very social and have an international group of friends that get together regularly, including NZ-born Kiwis, Brits, Guatemalans, Japanese, Germans etc.

    Daily Help breakdown

    1.5 hour cleaning
    1.5 hours cooking
    1-2 hours random house and garden work

    We love hosting workawayers who are skilled at:
    - cooking meals (vegan and vegetarian are fine as well as meat/fish)
    - mixing cocktails
    - cleaning
    - baking
    - gardening
    - home maintenance
    - building
    - organising things

    Also we would love more artwork for our house, so would be excited to have an artist stay and create something for our walls :-)

    And our son is super into mathematics, computers and gaming, he would love to spend time with you if that's your thing! (Yes, we have had a workawayer here whose job consisted mostly of playing fortnite!!!!)

    We prefer travelers who are able to have an intermediate conversation in English.

  • Alojamiento

    Alojamiento

    Queen Bed in lovely room with sea views.

    Our home is a 5 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom 1920's villa in Bayswater that was recently renovated, so the bathrooms and Kitchen are modern, and we have central heating so the house is dry and warm.

    We also have a large campervan and a cabin in the garden which are occasionally are used for workaway accommodation when needed.

    House has a large deck, veggie garden and fruit trees, trampoline.

    Very easy to get around here... walk 1 minute to a bus stop which takes you into Takapuna with loads of shops and cafes, or walk 20 minutes to catch the Bayswater ferry to downtown Auckland. Walk 45 min (or 15 min bike ride) to historic, artsy Devonport. Walk 30 minutes to stunning Narrowneck Beach, or just out of our backyard to beautiful seaside walks.
