Description
My husband and I have relocated a home onto 2 acres in the countryside approximately 30 minutes from Hobbiton. We are surrounded by dairy farms and are midway between Matamata and Te Aroha. It is a picturesque, safe location with beautiful mountain views. We have 2 adult daughters who live elsewhere. We have 3 dogs ( Golden Retrievers) and some chickens. We have a large garden which requires lots of weed control so we are looking for people who like to help out in the garden! We both go to work most days.
Because we are in the country it is important that you have your own transport.
We are located approximately 20 minutes from Matamata and Te Aroha.
