Detalhes
Descrição
Friendly, eco-conscious and well travelled family, with connections to UK, Zimbabwe, Australia and NZ, with two wonderful daughters (13yrs and 8yrs), who love to play all sorts of games. We have 1 kunekune pigs called Murray , three guinea fowl who provide amusement and some chickens for eggs. We're located on a 4.8 ha property with stunning views, consisting of a large garden, vegetable garden, a swimming pool, spa and 8 acres of pine forest/native bush all located 45mins South of Auckland CBD, in an ideal location to launch a trip around the North Island.
We're looking for someone/couple who are willing to lend a hand around the house and outside and to get involved in family life. If you enjoy the outdoors, board games, movies and a glass of good wine, then you'll be in good company!
Tony drives into Auckland every weekday for early risers and Lara is also in the city 3 days/week for slightly later risers, should you need a lift to the city.

They worked hard in the garden, DIY projects and helped out in the house and at Art class. They even helped with our 3 yr old's birthday party! Legends! Our family learned some French, travelling tips, cooking (crepes - yum!), card games and had much fun doing so :)
