  Description

  Looking for 1-2 workaway guests from February - April. It is quick to drive to the city if you have a car.
  
  Comfortable, quiet house 15 minutes drive from Cairns City. We are a busy family and need a pair of extra hands to help with gardening, weeding, mowing, painting and other odd jobs. Some jobs will be outside, some jobs will be inside.
  
  We cannot provide meals on school nights but can share meals together on the weekend. Accommodation is in a house on our property. You will have a private room however kitchen, bathroom and lounge room will be shared with Grandma. Your room will have an aircon and a fan.
  
  Work is 2-3 hours a day. Work times are flexible so can be a few hours per day of independent jobs or longer days working alongside us on the weekend. Cairns is hot in summer so work is best done after 3pm.
  
  Please give me a message if you would like to come stay with us.
