Description
My partner and I have been hosting traveller's for over five years. We love meeting new people, sharing travel stories, and creating a welcoming experience.
Our home is within walking distance of the CBD, with a bus stop nearby for easy access to town. We also offer free use of bicycles, as we’re close to a beautiful waterfront cycling trail. In exchange for four hours of work per day, we provide accommodation, food and friendship.
You're welcome to join us for board games—we have a great selection! My partner enjoys taking visitors surfing and mountain biking, and our two sons love soccer—some of our past guests have even helped them practice.
If you're keen to join us, send a message—we'd love to hear from you!
