Descrição
I have been operating part of my home as an rental for 10 years now. I run a small BnB in Katoomba on 1/2 acre, Blue Mountains. Only 1.5 hour drive from Sydney., or 2 hour train journey
I have a super excitable, friendly dog and super friendly cat. I live on 1/2 acre with a creek running thru my property. I could do with some help in my garden and around the house. I love to cook, but currently due to my medical condition, it's difficult for me. I prefer 2 people. Not afraid to work in large garden! 4 hours work per day for accommodation , breakfast, lunch and hot cooked evening meal with your help in the kitchen. OR, 2 hours/day , you provide your own food, basics from pantry will be supplied for you use. We will discuss what hours/food when you message me.
I've hosted several backpackers over the years, happy to forward details, if you require some references.

So I thought this would be a great asset to me and to them. It started out well. Emma was happy to help in any way and accepted her tasks without question. Annan on the other hand… read more
