  Descrição

  Hi! Welcome to New Zealand! We are looking for a couple or single person to come and stay in our fully self contained caravan which is parked next to its own private beach in the corner of our 10 acre coastal beach property in Northland. There is snorkeling and kayaking right from your doorstep :) lots to do in this beautiful area.
  
  We need help with renovations on our old home so looking for someone to help us with this project. We are also turning our property back to native bush and looking for help maintaining the weeding around all our baby native trees.
  
  About us! I am Michelle (31) and live with my husband David (31) and our three girls, Lilly (8), Kate (6) and Emily (4). We also have two friendly Shiba Inu dogs and a couple of snuggly ginger cats. We have 10 acres of coastal beach property that we have been turning from weeds back to natives (planted over 3.5 thousand natives last year and will plant more this year. We are living in an old home which I actually grew up in! Our plan is to finally renovate it this year :)
  
  We have had several lovely people come and stay in the caravan over the last couple of months who have helped us with our gardening and we have loved getting to know everyone and sharing our cultures with each other.

  The driveway to our property is the start of the gorgeous Mahinepua Peninsular DOC walking track – this is such a nice walk to do!
  We are not too far from Whangaroa Harbour which is a great area to explore and there is our favourite Saint Pauls Rock walk there too. Matauri Bay is close by which is a well-known surfing beach.
  Kerikeri has so much to see and do – including Rainbow Falls, the Stone Store and Kerikeri Mission House.
  Slightly further south is the popular tourist destinations of Paihia and Russell in the famous Bay of Islands. Further North there are so many beautiful (and often overlooked) beaches to explore too (Mangonui, Doubtless Bay etc).
  
  You will need your own car to fully explore this area.
