Ex-guesthouse and kiwi family in Whataroa, New Zealand

  Beschreibung

  We are a family of four (with one family member currently living/working away from home) in an old guesthouse, on the beautiful wild West Coast of New Zealand. We are located an hour south of Hokitika, and 30 minutes north of Franz Josef Glacier. If you love nature, hiking, fishing, hunting, exploring.. you’ll love it here.
  
  We will host couples or female friends travelling together - it’s not ideal being solo as the family is busy and could be lonely. No solo males at this time.
  
  Our home is a large building on a very large property, and it’s hard to keep up with it on our own, especially as we have “real” jobs now too.
  
  The work for this season is mainly outdoors - the garden is overgrown and the grass needs frequent cutting, there is painting work if you are comfortable on a ladder.. as well as general maintenance like cleaning windows. If you like building tasks, I would love to have some garden boxes built. If the weather is wet, anyone who is interested in helping with decluttering/organising would be amazing. Also general cleaning/maintenance.
  
  We offer a lovely warm home and good company, we love meeting people and making new friends. The children are aged 14 and 16 and will respect your space but are also great fun. We have a very energetic young Labrador who would love you to take him swimming and walking down by the river (next to our property). We also have an outdoor game that we invented - it’s called shovel-ball - that we’d enjoy teaching you.
  
  We do recommend having your own car to make the most of the area - we’re some kilometres from the nearest town (though right on the main highway) and our place can feel quite isolated if you can’t go anywhere - though we’re happy to drop you off or pick you up if your destination aligns with our plans for the day.
  
  We also do require housesitters from time to time (generally within the NZ school holidays).

  Ashley Oswald (3 Jahren)

  Ash is a black Labrador Retriever, he is bred to be a working dog instead of a pet, so he has a lot of energy and needs firm boundaries. He is also a big cutie who loves belly rubs and all of your attention. He is allowed indoors when supervised, and you must say “big stretch” when he has a big stretch. It’s the dog law.
