Description
We would like a strong, capable male or couple to help us clean ceilings, inside walls, clean & wipe cupboards, wash windows, water pressure our roof & pathways, prepare 2 raised bed gardens for spring garden planting. We like a sense of humour, honesty & the desire to get into a good days work. We possibly have 5 - 10 days work … this does depend on how the helpers are managing in the first 2 days here. We look for helpers who can quickly see our plan & show motivation. We are not so keen on helpers who have the need to be attached to devices & appreciate helpers who can quickly “read” the work we would like to be completed here. We start at 8.30 am & ask for 4½ hours a day. Preferably folk with their own transport as we don’t have public transport out here. If you would like to work a full day , in return you are welcome to have a free day. This also includes weekends. David & I have enjoyed the excellent help we have had here on our property from workers. Some great tasks have been completed with lots of fun, hard work, & very honest young folk. This is a very special part of Hawkes Bay with stunning views, peace & tranquility. We are only 20 minutes drive from Napier & Hastings, 10 minutes from a surfing beach, close to great walks & cycle tracks. Please also note that we do not supply alcohol or personal items such as shampoo & toothpaste. We have a warm & comfortable house, with wonderful views & we provide good food, a clean & comfortable bed with your own bathroom. If you like cooking, we encourage helpers to use our kitchen. We will provide food items you require & look forward to dishes you like to prepare . We also ask that any helpers who contact us are non smokers. We look forward to hearing from helpers who are keen to spend time in our magical Hawke's Bay spot. Thank you.
