    Description

    We live on the Otago Peninsula, only 20 minutes away by car or bus to Dunedin. We are a busy family of four, slightly chaotic but easy going, friendly and welcoming. My husband is very busy and I'm recovering from an injury. We are looking for somebody to help out in the garden; mostly weeding the driveway, but there could also be some pruning and planing too.
    We have a cabin that is overdue some sanding and oiling. We are looking for somebody who is practical and gets on with it. It is borning work!

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    There is a lot to do in and around Dunedin which we can show/tell you about. We are non-smokers nor party animals/night owls so our place would perhaps suit somebody who prefers a quieter life or is happy to head into town for a night out. We are looking for somebody who has practical skills, is considerate, honest and trustworthy; who can relate to kids and is not high maintenance!
