We are an New Zealand/Irish family with a passion for the outdoors and a desire to live as close to nature as possible. Andy is a builder and Deborah runs a stargazing tour company. In our spare time we fish, dive, surf, garden or play on the beach with our son.

We welcome you to be part of our family, learn from us, be part of our off-the-grid lifestyle and contribute your energy, skills and passions to our fun and busy days. You could learn how to make your own yogurt, muesli and sourdough bread too.
Ce projet peut impliquer des enfants. Pour en savoir plus, consultez nos directives et conseils ici.
We would love your help! Currently we need help with weeding, garden expansion and cleaning. You must be happy spending time with our 6 year old son and be able to work independently. Other tasks may be cooking, babysitting and help around the house.

You will have your own room with a comfortable king sized bed in our house.
Your meals are included. Usually, you will prepare your own breakfast of Deb's homemade muesli and yogurt, and lunch based around home baked sourdough bread. Deb will cook everyone’s dinner most nights. Many of your dinners will include freshly caught fish, locally sourced meat and vegetables from the garden. If you love to cook please say. The cook always enjoys a break!
There are a couple of small shops on the island (several kilometres away from the house) which can provide most of those bits and bobs that you may need. But for anything that you can't do without, we suggest you bring it with you from the mainland.
With your time off you can visit the beautiful nearby beaches, and enjoy the many stunning hikes all over Great Barrier Island, try your hand at surfing or catch a fish or two.
We have a basic mountain bike, some boogie boards and a beginner surf board that you are welcome to use. We live only 1km from a stunning, white sand surf beach.
There is no public transportation on the island. Hitchhiking is common and safe on our friendly island. Or there is a shuttle that can be booked to help you get to/from the ferry or a hike.
We ask that all helpers have a vaccine pass to help keep our family and the wider island community safe.
