  Descrição

  Do you know how to build loft beds? Then we need you!
  
  We are a Danish and New Zealand married couple with three delightful children: 9yrs, 7yrs, and 17 months old. We live in a lovely two storey historic house full of character situated on a 3500sqm property in the seaside town of Oamaru. We speak English and Danish.
  
  Our hope is to have a willing individual or couple who have building and/or gardening skills to help us with projects on our property.
  
  You will enjoy having your own room with a sea view and use a shared bathroom. There is free unlimited WIFI in the house. Food and accommodation provided. You’ll have plenty of free time in the afternoons and every weekend off. You’re welcome to our bicycles, kayaks, and we live minutes away from the ocean (and penguins!) and only a 15 minute drive from surfing in Kakanui.
