Description
We are looking for a person or couple to help us run a small bed and breakfast next to our home as well as take care of our four rescue dogs - Biggie, Lex, Max and Sparky! We are away for 6 weeks and need someone who is confident with dogs that need lots of love and need to be walked and fed twice daily.
You will also be required to help clean and prepare our bed and breakfast accommodation for guests - this is a one bedroom apartment next to the home you will stay in. Our ideal workawayer is able to greet guests, has fluent English and can make sure our guests stay is comfortable and well stocked.
You will stay in our lovely 2 bedroom home with stunning views of Mt Kinabalu only 5 minutes from the city centre. Their is good WiFi connection, all standard household amenities and a cleaner that comes twice a week.
Our manager will work alongside you and be available to provide any help or information you may need during your stay.
There is the option of working extra hours in our popular bar and restaurant also which can be discussed via email for the right person.
This is a fantastic opportunity to experience Kota Kinabalu while living and working alongside others, and having your own space to call home!
We look forward to hearing from you.
