Beschreibung
Hello,
We are a family of three; Nina, Dan and Rokia. We're from South Africa originally and we love to travel and to meet travellers! Through our travels, we've landed up living in beautiful Picton, a great place to be!
We both work in the environmental space for ngo's, and have extensive experience in sustainability and Permaculture fields. We both work part-time while homeschooling. We enjoy music, art, books, nature, bike riding, surfing and exploring!
In exchange for 2-3 hours of housework, cooking if you enjoy it, sharing the load with homeschooling, and possibly some help with upcycling furniture (if this interests you) we offer a comfortable room in our home. We would ask you to chip in with your own food.
There is the possibility of getting involved in some of our enviro/ sustainability work if it interests you, but is not out primary need. We are more needing help around the house and homeschooling, as well as cultural exchange.
Our location is ideal, backing right onto a nature reserve with a bike/walk trail that will take you straight into Picton town (10min walk) or Waikawa (20min walk). You can also walk to the top of the hill for a magnificent view of the Marlborough Sounds!
We're looking to host people who want to stay one to two weeks max. Must be reliable, sensitive and responsible 🙏 -

Was noch ...
Picton is a good location to spend a couple of days before heading north on the ferry to Wellington, or before continuing down to explore the South Island.
At the centre of the Marlborough Sounds, the natural beauty is exceptional. Epic coastline to the South in Kaikoura, mountains (including ski fields) and lakes to the west, inland. -
