Informationen
Beschreibung
We are an older couple with many interests and love meeting new people of all ages. We have travelled extensively ourselves and like to learn and to teach. We need a bit of help with gardening and general maintenance on our 1 1/2 acre section in the hills of the Hutt Valley
. We have children and grand children in the area.
Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten
Gartenarbeiten
Handwerkliche Arbeiten
Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
We love to share our vast knowledge of the NZ way of life, and can talk on many subjects, and we enjoy going to the beach, or the bush, we are less than an hour from Wellington by train , a wonderful and easy city to visit and explore.
Projekte mit Kindern
Dieses Projekt schließt möglicherweise den Umgang mit Kindern ein. Mehr Informationen findest du in unseren Verhaltensregeln und Tipps hier.
Arbeit
Nothing too onerous, i am a keen gardener, the man of the house likes to potter and needs some help with firewood and a bit of concreting. No special skills required but a happy willing disposition would be appreciated.
Gesprochene Sprachen
Englisch: Fließend
Unterkunft
A charming and roomy self contained sleep-out. We like to share our table and i am a good cook, but visitors could be self sufficient if they wanted to be.
Was noch ...
Visitors are close to the rail line and bus routes to Wellington, Upper and Lower Hutt cities, we are happy to drop off or pick up from the station if necessary but it is only a 25 min walk . Other visitors have found getting to Wellington easy and it is a fun city to visit and explore.

Vom Workawayer (Finn & Jessi) für Host
Sandra and Neil were so sweet, showering us with homemade meals and being generally lovely to stay with and have conversations with. Their garden and home is gorgeous and even in the face of some very audacious logs that simply gave their best effort to stay in one piece, it inspires relaxation and idyll. They were always making sure we were happy… read more

From the home-cooked meals every single day to showing me how to make my own bread loaf and rolls, I will truly cherish all the time I spent here and everything I learnt.

Kelsey was young and enthusiastic. This was her first workaway experience and she did herself proud. She worked diligently at every task and we could not have enjoyed her company more. There was a lot of outside work which was different to her usual experience and she cheerfully completed every task, even when hampered by rain.

Isabelle was just wonderful. She was warm, friendly and extremely able and worked hard and competently in my garden. We so enjoyed her company . She would be an asset to any one and although Isabelle only worked in my garden as the weather was good I know she would be equally able with indoor work.
