  Description

  Stop off with us during your New Zealand adventure.
  
  We are a friendly family of four, two adults and two girls.
  
  We live in a beautiful rural setting on a large piece of land with chickens, a duck called Button and a giant rabbit called Molly who loves pats. The view from our place is beautiful overlooking rolling hills to the Mahurangi Harbour.
  
  We are new to Workaway but we have been hosting happy travellers for many years, always with excellent reviews. The food and accomodation is always enjoyed! Take a chance with us, you won’t be disappointed.
  
  We look forward to hearing from you... but until then, happy travels!
  
  Rachel

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We have an interest in permaculture and have good knowledge of NZ plants and animals, pest control and gardening and composting in general. We are always willing to help everyone gain a greater understanding in these areas. And if you have knowledge you’d like to share we’re always open to learning more.
  
  We have travelled extensively within NZ and world wide and so we would enjoy hearing of your experiences.
  
  Rachel has an interest in environmental issues and in particular reducing waste to landfill. She also enjoys various crafts so could teach you something new if you wished.
  
  We are in an excellent position to explore the wider north Auckland area as well as the wonderful Regional Park at the end of our road.

  At the moment we’re building a natural swimming pool and a mandala garden so would love some help to finish these awesome projects!
  
  We also need help with general weeding and garden/grounds maintenance. And if it’s a rainy day and you don’t want to be outside there’s always house cleaning inside ready to be done.
