Hi Travelers
We are 4km from the historical township of Kerikeri.
I am a retired Naturopath and Osteopath and well traveled myself.
I volunteered in 2 projects in Africa .. It was amazing.
Joe is American, now a Kiwi. He has recently retired after 25yrs as a State Trooper... He is a regular genius. Not your regular Bloke. Loves hiking, wine making, bee keeping, flying and guitar.
We both love the out doors, beaches & diving, gardening, outdoors, art, refurbishing, music.
We live the dream on a beatiful farmlet in the Bay of Islands. We are currently in transition from 1 property to the next that is just 100m away so things are a little unusual.
You have a double room in the new house
There is a fabulous huge swimming pool.
You may borrow a car
(petrol your responsibility) and we supply ingredients for basic kiwi breakfast & lunch. The rest is up to you.
You might like to check out my 100% rating for my Manly Beach and Kerikeri hosting over the last 13years.
We look forward to your help. Tasks are varied and currently we need assistance with creative projects and in refurbishing, cleaning, farm maintenance, building a chicken run, packing up house, gardening, building, art projects, computor help, organising me.....etc
We have chickens, and Kat.
We grow food and eat healthy and practice a sustainable lifestyle.
We can help you avoid the pitfalls of negotiating your way around a new country.
We look forward to hearing from you best wishes Barbara and JoeTipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

I stayed at Barb's place for 2 weeks and enjoyed it very much, although it took me a little while to adapt myself to Barbara's very dynamic personality. She's a very easy going woman to live with.
Derick (her roommate) is an interesting guy, and I appreciated the discussions we had about his paintings or art in general.
The job was fair… read more
