  Descrição

  My wife and I are young 60-somethings that live in a nice house overlooking a tidal estuary. Wake up to a beautiful view from your private bedroom. Own bathroom. It is a semi-rural property but is only 2kms from the main motorway, buses and trains into and out of Auckland city. We have travelled fairly extensively to all corners of the world.
  We also have a seaside holiday home which we may require assistance with. It is a beautiful spot right on the water and very rural.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  As access to trains/buses that can take you into the centre of the city are handy (we will drop off and pick up from the train station), you can get ferries to the islands in the gulf or just tour around Auckland.
  We have fairly extensive knowledge of our local area and our country (in general).

  Ajuda

  Our home: The work is gardening mainly, plus trimming mangroves (which can be a bit tougher, but not life-threatening…). The mangroves work is undertaken when the tides are low and it’s a muddy scene. Gumboots can be provided.
  Our seaside home: gardening, painting and maybe some general DIY stuff.

  Acomodação

  Home : Superior
  Seaside : Basic but quite special.
  Food? Well, we eat fairly well. Make your own Breakfast and lunch using whatever we have available. We will provide an evening meal and would maybe like you to cook us a meal from your homeland (we would supply the ingredients). We would consult with you on what sort of food you would like to eat and try and accomodate your taste. Probably a bit difficult if you require vegetarian meals, unless you’re prepared to make your own…

  Algo mais...

  There is a surf beach about 45 minutes away. Safer swimming about 30 minutes away.
  The Hauraki gulf is beautiful on a nice day. Waiheke Island is a one hour ferry ride (train into the city to connect). Our home is a great place to relax and watch the tide come in and go out from your private deck.
