    I live with my sister Denise in beautiful Queenstown. I was encouraged to join Workaway after hearing about the many brilliant connections made by my daughter Caro, a long time Workaway host in Rotorua. I look forward to hosting guests in exchange for help with gardening, routine property maintenance and various household chores. As I've become older, it is really frustrating to not keep up with the outdoor and heavier tasks I've always taken such pride in doing... I hope you will enjoy some of the many fabulous attractions Queenstown has to offer, knowing that your stay can also make a wonderfully positive difference in our own personal lives.

    I was born in Cromwell 80+ years ago. I have lots of happy memories dating back to my early childhood growing up in this region. My grandfather was a high country farm worker. His son, my Uncle Ernie, was one of the last pioneers panning for gold on the Arrow River. Both owned what are now treasured historic stone cottages that were built in the 1800s. While today Queenstown and Arrowtown bear very little resemblance to the streets of our childhood, we feel extremely privileged to have returned to live in such a special, beautiful part of New Zealand. Aside from our two very energetic dogs, there is a quiet and somewhat aloof cat, and three chickens.

    Basic gardening chores - pruning shrubs, raking garden leaves, weeding, sweeping paths. We also have some obvious outdoor trip hazards that can hopefully be minimised if not eliminated. If you have any particular expertise or work experience to draw on to make our home safer and better maintained, we love to hear from you! If you're a dog-person, Willow and River love going out for walks and they would both benefit from some additional training. We also have a few chickens and a coop that needs routine maintenance. And there is a list of minor routine household cleaning and maintenance issues which you may have the skills and knowledge to tackle. If you're able to help with reorganising and ongoing decluttering after combining two households of furniture and personal effects - mine and my sister's - I'd be really glad to explore those ideas with you also.

    We are centrally located, a few minutes from Queenstown airport and the Frankton shops. If you rely on public transport, there is a bus stop just across the road from our house. This suburb is Lake Hayes Estate, a relatively new housing area, roughly half-way between Arrowtown and Queenstown... ideally located for sightseeing, skiing, and visiting any of the many adventure tourism activities and cycling trails in this spectacular part of the country.
