Beschreibung
I have moved to a small town called Omakau 20minutes north of Alexandra in Central Otago. I am single and in my early 60's. My wee house has had a lot of work done on it by so many amazing people. ❤️ I have now got to the stage where it’s just a bit of painting/maintenance and gardening left to do. I am looking to put up a new fence and re-develop a small building into a shade house. I grow my own vegetables and flower plants. My new job takes me away from home a bit and I now need someone to be there to look after my wee dog Dottie who loves cuddles and playing. Having someone in my house if I’m away would be great to. I love to travel and meet new people and see this as a chance to give a little back. I am right beside the Central Otago Rail Trail. 1.5hrs from Wanaka, Queenstown or Dunedin. The golf course is just over the road, you can use my clubs. I have access to a hunting hut up in the hills if you wanted to experience some off the grid living. Central is very warm in the summers and the local river and pub are only 5 mins walk from the house.

If your are in to hunting there could be opportunities to go rabbit or goat shooting. I can take you fishing. This is a rural community so things are a bit different than being in town. I come from a farming back ground and can explain lots about the way we farm in NZ. I have two daughters, both married. One here in Omakau with two granddaughters and living on a sheep station and the other in Southland working on a dairy farm.
I love to learn about different cultures and different ways of doing things.
Arbeit
I'm just after a bit of help to bring my wee house back to her former glory. There is still a wee bit of stuff to do in the house now but with my new job I need help with general cleaning round the house and garden/section. I also have a wee dog called Dotty who need looking after when I’m not here. There is still lots of things to care for in the garden and round the section. ❤️

Unterkunft
There are a couple of options. I have a lovely wee caravan with a double bed and you eat, shower etc inside or I have a room inside with a double bed. Cool in the summer as it can get quite hot. We will share the cooking and 3 main meals a day will be provided.
Was noch ...
As Omakau/Alexandra is pretty handy to all the main attractions in Central there are heaps of things to do in your time off. You will need transport or I can drop you in Alexandra where buses run between main towns. If you come to Alexandra and need a ride to Omakau I can always come and pick you up.

Was great to have Jamie and Annabel come and help me. I was away for some of the time working down South. They helped round the house and also did clean up work in the garden, which was great! They kept an eye on Dottie, which was the most important thing. I enjoyed their company and hope they enjoy the rest of their travels :)

Vom Workawayer (Esther & Kathy) für Host
We had a wonderful time at Lynn's house, though Lynn had to be away for a couple of days for her business trip, we took our time with arranging the remaining of the pig sty, painted the workshop lavender, did some weeding, cleaned the house a bit, and took care of cute little Dotty. Lynn took us to the A&P show which is so much fun, visited her… read more

These two lovely ladies were amazing. I really enjoyed their company, when I was home. :blush:
They took care of my house and wee dog when I was away for work and did a great job pulling down the last of the pig styles. Sad to see them go.

We had a wonderful time for our week stay at Lynn's. We had to take care of her cute little puppy Dotty and take care of some outdoors works while Lynn was away for work. We didn't spend much time with you as it's been such a busy time for you back then but we felt very welcomed with you. You are an easy going and fun living person and look very… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (delpoggio)
What can I say. My wee house and puppy were in great hands when I had to go away for a couple of day for work. The list of jobs I had left were ticked off, even the horrible job of breaking down the old pigs pens. The house was lovely and tidy when I got home and my puppy was still alive :wink::blush:. Couldn’t get anyone better to look after… read more

Loved having Sarah here. She was a ball of fun and ready to turn her hand to what ever I asked her to help me with. We made a good start on putting corrugated iron on the side of the workshop and they got some painting done, till they ran out of paint, for me as well. My cupboard are now nice and clean and organised!!!! Thanks heaps and enjoy the… read more

I could not thank Lyn enough for taking us in at the last minute. She had gone out of her way to show us what the "real" NZ is like and it was unforgettable. We had a great experience in Omakau from the taking care of a puppy on the hill to the award ceremony at the Golf Club to the singalongs to 80s music to meeting the many characters within… read more

Paul was a great young man to have helping me in my wee house. As I was getting over a knee operation he was very supportive doing more than I expected him to do.
He finished the last bit of painting for me and did a excellent job.
I had a list of jobs I needed to do before I left and he just slowly worked his way through some of them. I just let… read more

Adam was great to have helping me. He was with me when I had my knee operated on and was a great help round the place. He was quite capable of working away by himself. I gave him the list of jobs that needed doing and he just worked away at it.
Big thank you Adam and hope you enjoy the rest of your travels.

Oh my goodness what to say about my time with Lyn - what a character :-) We got on famously with so much in common and what we didn't have in common, I certainly learned about ha!. Lyn is extremely easy going and kind hearted and tries to ensure that you get as much out of your stay as possible. She shows you what she would like help with and then… read more

I REALLY enjoyed having Wendy stay with me. She was lots of fun and just got on and did the stuff I had lined up. She made an amazing job of painting my kitchen. She had a go at the things I took her away to do, fishing, milking cows etc.
Enjoy the rest of your travels and look forward to meeting up in Vietnam. Xxxxx

Maelle was a pleasure to have come and help me for two weeks. She helped me get the last of some very stubborn wallpaper down and made a good start on getting the first coast of sealer onto the walls.
I enjoyed her company heaps.
Don’t forget to spread your wings and do one thing everyday that scare you ❤️❤️❤️
