  Description

  I am a busy food writer and tour guide who has travelled extensively and lived until 2016 in Oxfordshire. I have a spacious home just outside Havelock North with a large garden and pool above the beautiful Black Barn vineyard. I have a passion for food and wine and walking my friendly Jack Russell who loves walks, people and rabbits.
  
  Hawke's Bay is known for its great wine, food and sunny, warm climate for most of the year with a wild, rugged coast line. I have a large spare bedroom with private bathroom and balcony and I enjoy cooking for guests.
  
  The garden needs maintenance, weeding and trimming by someone with some knowledge of pruning [ideally olive trees and hedges] and planting. Plus I have odd jobs around the house which needs someone with some experience of joinery or building. And there is always something needs doing around from cleaning, ironing to helping me with Social Media, cooking for clients or preparing for Cheese & Wine Classes
  
  So it would suit a young couple travelling around N Z with transport as it is a 25 minute walk into town looking for a short stay [3 - 5 days] to discover our beautiful region.

  Aide

  I am looking for people to help
  in the garden weeding, replanting, pruning and trimming the hedges
  with odd "handman" skills - putting up shelves, building simple cupboards etc
  around the house and with my IT and Social media
  
  I work so it would suit a couple or someone happy to be on their own
  I am happy to provide 3 meals a day but if you want to cook that would be great. And you need to organise your own snacks and wine
  Would not suit people who are fussy about food or dairy free!
  I would ask for 4 - 5 hours per day of work.
  I would prefer people with housekeeping experience.
  Please do not come if you don't like dogs or are unwell in anyway as I have a low immune system
  It is usually lovely and hot and sunny but just in case you must have suitable wet weather clothing and footwear.
