UPDATED mid - APRIL 2024
Before contacting us please make sure you have a valid international driver license, and a valid working holiday visa.
For APRIL / MAY, we are looking for some help with gardening/planting trees, but also renovation work in our self contained chalets, it would be best if you have some knowledge about using power tools for laying out a floor, sanding, painting, etc
Closer to 35 hours / 40 hours per week would be ideal so we can move forward with the projects.
We also might have work towards the end of June in the garden and around the properties for maintenance too.
And for winter 2024/2025 we are open for application - woot woot!
You can send an email directly to Peter: ask us for his email ;-)
He will help you out filling up more info about the job, etc.
