Beschreibung
*️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️*️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️ We are currently looking for a single or couple from mid 20's onwards who enjoys outdoor work and occasionally the company of people from different countries.
Our home includes also a cat, called Pixie who loves her food and the warmth of the heater. We are placed right in the heart of Devonport and only 12 minutes by ferry from Downtown Auckland & the surrounding islands (Waiheke, Tiri Tiri, etc.).
Our homely villa flows to a peaceful garden with a huge palm tree and a hammock - a beautiful spot to relax in the summer.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
The historic centre of Devonport and the Community House (which offers various classes) is just around the corner from our home. Devonport, called the "seaside village" is very popular with international travellers for its cafes, shops, restaurants, art galleries, beaches and a historic cinema with great movies and shows). Yoga, Massage and Fitness centres are all on our doorstep.
There are also lovely walks to the extinct volcanoes (North Head and Mount Victoria). Stroll through the parks and along Marine Parade to the ferry for a pleasant trip to the city or to the other islands.
Projekte mit Kindern
Dieses Projekt schließt möglicherweise den Umgang mit Kindern ein. Mehr Informationen findest du in unseren Verhaltensregeln und Tipps hier.
Arbeit
Most of the year - exept in the NZ winter time - we are looking for a volunteer(s) in central Devonport/Auckland. The help is about 3 hours per day, which involves general house-cleaning, some cooking sometimes (an "International dinner" with a glass of wine which we can share together) and a good amount of gardening ----- weeding, cutting and planting.
Sometimes a handyman is required for painting and wood work. Helping me with computer related things ---- ESPECIALLY IMPROVING MY WEBSITE RANKING IN SEARCH ENGINES ----- is also an important part of the experience. We offer private comfortable accommodation in our garden sleep-out.

This was our second experience with workaway and compare to the first one it was really bad. We didn't feel welcome in her house and we were really confused many times. Her priority was BnB hosts and we felt unwanted. The work around the house was alright and easy, but staying there was stressfully and we had to leave. I think Karin is not bad… read more

I stayed with Karin only 4 days, but it was the best stay I could wish as a welcome in New Zealand. Karin is incredible lady with a lot of stories and experiences. She is easygoing, her house is beautiful and there are always some other guests to meet. I helped her in the garden and we went to have a beer when I visited her after I left.

We spent almost a week in Auckland in Karin's beautiful B&B which is also in a very nice neighborhood. At the time we were new in New Zealand and Karin was nice enought to help us with setting up our new lives here. We had time for ourselves in every afternoon. It was a very good experience.

We stayed with Karin for about a week, helped with some household work and gardening. Karin needed us only for a few hours in the morning, so plenty of free time in the afternoon/evening. The B&B is central and the helpers accomodation clean, a cozy room, good for one person or a couple. Thanks for having us!
