Description
Kia ora!
My name is Linda and I am a 63 year old art curator living part-time on a coastal property with a big garden which I am developing.
Ōrere Point is a small village of 300 people. It is very isolated, a long way (71km, over one hour) from shops, supermarkets, cafes and banks, so not suitable as your first destination when you arrive from overseas and need to set up banking etc..
I am looking for help with property maintenance, landscaping and gardening so please let me know what you can do (and have done before) and what hours you expect you will work each day.
You will need your own car to reach Ōrere Point, which is an hour from Auckland by road. There is no public transport to Orere Point, so those who don't have their own transport usually hitch-hike to get here, although one or two arrived by bike and were exhausted for a week afterwards!
I do not wish to host people who smoke and if your diet is very specific, please make sure that you bring the food with you when you arrive. At the moment I have an issue with my pancreas, so am not able to do any physical work or cook for you, but I can provide food if you tell me what you like to eat.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Linda

Autres infos...
Beautiful beach and river nearby which are excellent for swimming. Also great for kayaking - I have a fishing kayak available to borrow. There is a small shop, a library and health clinic but no supermarket in Orere Point (it is a really small place, far away from any city or town) so it is best to bring your own special foods if you have dietary needs.

Lina is probably the best Workawayer that I have ever hosted. She planned an event for me, organised the signage, designed a beautiful invitation, and worked very hard at the actual event to make sure it was a great success. She also designed real estate "For Sale" signs, tended the garden and… read more
