We are in the process of moving house so just needing someone for garden tidy and house clean in Feb/early march 2024.
Hi,
We have a large section with an old house Whangarei.
On town bus route an easy 4km walk to town. The cycle walkway along the rail line is accessed very near to our place.
We do have a fence to paint too.
We currently have some carpentry, painting and always some weeding and mowing. Always windows and internal clean to do too.
Accommodation is in the house which you will have to yourself.
We are pretty easygoing about when you do the working hours, some times the jobs are enjoyable and you don't notice time flying by, other jobs a few hours is enough and that's fine too.
Some times there are jobs to work together, some times I will let you know what needs doing and leave you to it.
If you have any particular skills I tend to try to find the job most likely to be the most productive .
Perfectly happy for you to work longer hours some days and then have more days off to explore the area. About 4 hrs a day 5 out of 7 seems about right. But if providing own food then 2.5-3 hrs is fine
Whatever works is all good.
Plenty of room to park your car or van, happy to pick you up from the bus .
, you have your own bathroom
we are not smokers and prefer non smokers to stay.
Happy to have individuals or a couple.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

A lovely quiet place to have a breather for a few days. House to yourself, peace and quiet. Vege garden .
happy to teach painting tips, not sure what other cultural exchange is involved besides cards in the evening if wanted, lots of local knowledge for places to see in northland.Ayuda
There is a variety of work including weeding, mowing, mulching. There is always cleaning to do if that's your preference. We have a LOT of windows. There is always plenty to do!
Some carpentry work available.Idiomas hablados

Algo más...
we have the tutukaka coast nearby with the wonderful poor knight islands for diving and snorkelling trips.
we have a lot of coast line on the east coast, with absolute stunning beaches and lovely short and long walks.
the bay of islands is accessible for a long day trip or overnight easy trip.
same time to the waipoua forest with the kauri trees and bush walks.
whangarei township has everything you could need altho it is not a big city.
there is a strong international sailing community which sits out the cyclone season from nov to may so there is the chance to get crewing work up to the islands if that is of interest. most international boats leave between april and june.Un poco más de información
