  Description

  I’m a builder living on the same property as my parents and uncle. I always have projects on the go and enjoy teaching people different skills and learning new skills from travellers too. We are lucky to live on our beautiful property that is about 3km from Havelock North and Hastings. We have a stream at the back of the property for feeding the eels, a treehouse and my uncle is a sculptor so more art than you can imagine, his place is like a museum. I live in my own seperate area with a kitchen, bedroom with ensuite and a cabin (for my guests or workaways). My parents live in the main house which is separated by a fence. We have another cabin by the pool for guests and a spare room in the main house.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  If you like diving, I have a boat and enjoy taking people out. I do freediving training & can share my knowledge. I also am a qualified carpenter & have a lot of tools & machines so can teach building/renovating & woodworking skills.

  Aide

  I’m always working around the property and would like help with some building projects. There are always jobs around to do, like weeding (we have a weed puller so you can do it standing) Food will be provided but would enjoy sharing cooking dinners, or cooking together. I want to plant natives by the river, I want to build another toilet and move one of the cabins, also there are also walnuts to crack. Will provide food and help with cooking would be fun.
