Description
Hi
We have just moved and downsized and need help with a new garden.. We live on a 1 ha property in the far north, just off SH1 (the main north-south route) about 5 mins from Waipapa and 10 mins from Kerikeri. Your own transport would be ideal, but we can provide lifts to most places like Paihia beaches, Ngawha hot pools. Angela speaks fluent German and enough French to cope with basics.
We have two dogs, a very small orchard and a neglected garden.

We stayed with Peter and Angela for a week and they were great hosts. The food was fantastic (cake on tap!) And accommodation was great. The work was really reasonable and you will be supervised by the collies Tara and Kes who are very friendly (especially if you're willing to play fetch!)

I spent a wonderful week with Angela, Peter and their two lovely dogs. They showed me a lot in the area and I saw many things that I didn't know before. The work was very varied and I could use some nice machines in the garden. We talked about the places we traveled to, different cultures and several other things.
Thank you very much!

Well, we stayed in the house of Angela and Peter for two weeks. We had a great time in there. The work was shredding tree almost every day. Besides that, they took us to different places during the time we were there, and that was really nice. The house is warm, the garden is peaceful, with an amazing view and a good place to do yoga.

Ary and Flor stayed with us for two weeks. They are a pleasant couple who speak good English and fitted in well. Most of the work was fairly boring shredding tree branches day after day, but they did everything asked cheerfully. We learned a lot about Argentina and Flor cooked us a nice Argentinian meal. We wish them well in their onward travels.
