  Descrição

  My name is Lyn and I am in my mid-sixties. I am recently retired from full time work but am so busy doing things I love. I have four grandchildren who I absolutely adore. I am still very active with horse-riding, e-biking, walking my dogs, and going to the gym.
  
  IMPORTANT. I am heading off on a horse trek from 27 Feb - 9 Mar 2026 (riding my horse from farm to farm each day, camping on a different farm each night). I am looking for someone (or 2 people) who are willing to come and stay at my place, look after the animals and water the gardens while I am away. You will have access to a car.
  
  More about me:
  I live by myself on a 10 acre property at the end of a private driveway between Kumeu and Westgate, in Norwest Auckland. There is a big, fully fenced, back yard garden area. There is a spa pool, a thigh high swimming pool, and loads of playground equipment (including trampoline and flying fox).
  
  I have eight horses (4 full size and 4 miniature), 2 alpacas, 7 sheep, 13 chickens, 2 rabbits, 3 schnauzer dogs, 2 cats and numerous aviary birds. I enjoy being outside, completing DIY (Do It Yourself) projects, and pottering around the garden and farm. I have lists of small jobs I want to do around the place but I just don't have the time. I am not good at working indoors so need someone to help with housework and cooking.
  
  I also have several other weekend treks booked in during Jan - Mar so need someone to look after my animals at home while I am away. Maybe you could help out with that as well?

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  I have hosted many travelers who have just arrived in NZ. I could pick you up from the airport then you spend a couple of days getting over jet-lag and organising bank accounts, transport, tax numbers etc
  Then you start work :)
  
  You could come horse riding in the forest or at the beach with me.
  You could be included in as many of my my activities as you want.
  You could learn about animal care in NZ.

  Ajuda

  There are a few animals take care of.
  Three Mini Schnauzers, an adult cat and 3 month old kitten, numerous birds in five aviaries, two pet rabbits in large hutch, 12 chickens laying eggs each day, 2 alpacas, 4 sheep and 7 horses (4 minis and 3 normal sized). Most of them just need to be fed and watered. The dogs and cats need cuddles as well. I have people grazing their horses here as well so I will ask them to look after mine.

  Acomodação

  I live in a renovated farm shed (it has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two lounges) but it is definitely a "home". It is very comfortable, warm and relaxed. You would have your own bedroom with a queen size bed, so a single person or couple would be best.
  
  I am very central to lots of amenities. It's 5 minutes north to Kumeu or 5 minutes south to Westgate. 20 minutes to the CBD (In off-peak hours)
  Close to Muriwai beach, Woodhill Forest and Riverhead forest.

  Algo mais...

  Even though we are close to the city, we feel like we are miles from anywhere. However, it is still the perfect location for enjoying the city highlights and also for exploring our great outdoors. Just 20 minutes south along the Norwestern Motorway is central city and all the action if you want. And just 20 minutes north/west there's the beautiful beaches and forests.
  The public bus service travels on State Highway 16 past the end of our driveway. If appropriate, you could also have access to a car to get around.
