    Description

    Hello, my name is Emma and my partners name is Jack. We live 15mins by train from Wellington city on a quarter acre section in Tawa. We have a lot of garden and a very fluffy cat called Levi! We are looking for help maintaining our beautiful garden and always have little projects on the go around our house. We are a couple in our late 20s, we love cooking, travel and spending time outdoors. We enjoy learning about other cultures and welcoming others into our home.

    We have a warm, comfortable house a 10min walk from the train station so you can easily access the city, the coast and the bush. We also have a couple of bicycles you're welcome to borrow if you prefer getting around that way.

    We look forward to meeting you!
