    Description

    We are a German family, living in NZ since 18 years, with 3 children, who have left home and are at university or working.

    We have 2 dogs, and started building an off grid house in the Far North in Kerikeri. Stefan worked as a teacher, and I am running a small food cart, but since 1 year, we are mainly busy building or planting.

    We would need help with land care, mowing, planting , certain aspects of building, cutting up trees, or chop wood etc. We are in the final stages of finishing our house, and are looking for 2 people to help us with our current projects. We will be painting inside and out, building a few small retaining walls, building some new fences, cutting weeds , preparing planting sites, mowing and setting up further irrigation /hoses/pipes etc.

    We can accommodate 1-2 people in a cute little caravan (when travelling together). In addition we can offer a beautiful sleeping platform, tent spots and places to park the camper van. Life for our workawayers is a nice camp set up, with outdoor shower , outdoor kitchen and a compost toilet. If anyone wants support to work on their van, Stefan has all the wood working tools and is happy to give advice.

    We provide 3 meals a day and can accommodate a range of dietary requirements. We usually cook fresh every evening , mainly vegetarian and like to spend some time around the bonfire - if weather conditions allow for it. This year it has been very windy so we couldn’t light a fire since November. But that hopefully will change.

    We have had quite a few workawayers over the last 12 months, helping us with renovations, house building and gardening. We always had a great time and are very inclusive.
    At this stage we can host 1-2 people.

    We have 2 push bikes that we are happy to share with our guests to explore the area.
