Hi everyone :)
I am looking for someone to help me with check-ins at my kite house in March. Besides that I would ask you to help out a bit in house and garden. Think fixing/drilling things, gardening/landscaping and help with basic upkeep and keeping things tidy.
There is no fixed schedule and you will have plenty of free time. I have an amazing cleaner and gardener who take care of the big stuff and I do most check-ins myself. I just need someone to be home when I'm not and someone to be my right hand when I don't have the DIY know-how.
Then there are some bonus skills, which would hugely help!
A) If you're a wizard with building. I'm looking to build a cabin in the back of the garden, which ideally I'd love to have wrapping around the tree that's there. If you can confidently do this, we can also discuss payment.
B) An artist (or at least creative) who can re-design one of the private rooms. I'm not happy with how it currently looks and would love to make it come alive with a mural or other kind of make-over. We can also discuss other art projects around the house.
C) A handyman/plumber/carpenter/very handy person. Maybe you can't build a full treehouse, but if you're good with DIY, that would be super helpful.
D) Experience with landscaping, the garden could use a little help
E) Real skill with photography and/or web design (it's wix we work with so pretty basic but if you can make things look amazing, definitely a plus)
--> As an artist please only apply if you're experienced and ideally add your whatsapp number/website/facebook so I can see some of your work.
The house is 5 minutes walking distance to the kitesurfing beach and bars/supermarket/restaurants. It has a pool, hammocks, slackline, fireplace, braai and more fun. You'll be staying in one of the beds in the dorm or in a nice private tent. The vibe is always amazing!
Looking forward to meeting you!

Cape Town is simply the best place in the world and I think you'll agree after staying here! You'll never get bored hiking, surfing, kiteboarding, diving, wine tasting, exploring beaches, eating at the countless amazing restaurants, partying and road tripping. Just to name a few.
The house is in the Blouberg area, meaning 20-25 minutes by car from Cape Town centre.

My dog is territorial so she will give any other animal coming into the house a hard time at first. However, she has lived with 6 different dogs throughout her 2 year life, so it's doable.
