  Description

  We live on a gorgeous little rural block of land on the edge of the Waitakere Ranges. We are surrounded by native bush, bushwalks, streams and lovely neighbours. Only 10mins away from the nearest train station and shops but it feels like you are in the country.
  
  I live here with my two daughters and our dog Ozzy. I'm seeking help maintaining the land and in return you will have your own off grid cabin near the creek; it has its own swimming hole!
  
  Familys welcome.
  Rainbow community welcome.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  I love people and have worked hard to build a friendly neighbourhood and sense of community here. You will be invited to join in any family or community activities we have on while you are here. We will share dinner as often as possible. I will always do my best to show you around some of our favourite places at the start. I work to protect some of our native forest so can also share my knowledge around that and show you some great bush walks and swimming holes.

  Aide

  I'm mostly seeking help maintaining the land; so small garden/orchard related jobs like weeding, weed eating, landscaping, harvesting plums etc. Perhaps some dog sitting.
  
  If you have the right skills; it could also include some basic building.
  
  Theres always lots of little things to do here; so would just chat with you about what we have on and where your skills and interests are.

  Hébergement

  You will have your own 10square metre wooden cabin + covered deck. It has a queen bed and wardrobe. Its off grid; so rechargable lights for lighting and you will need to charge devices at the main house. There is a camp toilet and camp kitchen accessible. It is private and about 50m away from the main house. The cabin is right near the creek; it has its own swimming hole! There also a campfire and access to seasonally available garden & fruit. Hot showers available at the house.
  
  I have no food restrications but tend to eat low carb. I work full-time though and one daughter is a fussy eater so we will just need to be flexible about eating together. Keen to share dinner most days.
