We are a middle aged couple with 2 adult children of which our son lives at home. We own a 5 acre lifestyle block in Pukekohe East, South Auckland. We are 5 minutes from the southern motorway 35 minutes from Auckland airport and 45 minutes from downtown Auckland.

On our property we have sheep, a cat and a bird aviary.We are looking for self motivated and outgoing people who enjoy the outdoors and like to get on with things and get them done

We have a double bedroom available with own private ensuite. Whilst own transport is preferred we can collect/ deliver to local buses and trains during reasonable hours.

Volunteer work in our family would include helping out with daily household tasks.

Besides the everyday tasks there will also be certain projects to work on in the garden or on the property. As we have a large property there is always something to do outside. This year we plan to re-fence the paddocks by replacing broken posts and battens. We are also planning a new garden area in addition to the usual garden maintenance such as weeding, mowing lawns, planting, digging, watering, spraying weeds etc. Currently we are building a new deck area,

I had a wonderful time at Sally and Marks house. They have a beautiful house and property. With their son Jamie, they did so much as a family and made me feel welcomed and a part of their family. I enjoyed the work they had me doing. They let me enjoy my free time too. They were all very flexible and willing to help me enjoy my stay in New Zealand!

Thanks Sally, Mark, Kate and Jamie! Although I was only on the farm for two days, I really enjoyed my time with your wonderful family. Great conversation, food and room (with ensuite). It was satisfying to get all those hedges trimmed and weeds out - maybe I can come back next year and continue the task! Best wishes to you all.

What can I say just lovely and very helpful hosts. Sunny and Mark are very nice people and I had a lot of funny conversations with him. It was a pleasure for me to stay there and anyone who is planning to stay there won't regret it. I think "La La Land" says everything, just for insider.

We spent wonderful 2 weeks with the whole family and loved spending time with them. The dinner was almost like an event. Sally is a great cook and we had interesting and fun conversations at dinnertime. We also liked the tasks. They were not too hard and always different. We were glad to help in the garden or in the house.

It felt like home for… read more
