Description
We are ex-backpackers, now in our 60s. We are keen dancers and skiers. We have 2 spoodle dogs whom we walk on the beach across the road every day. David is a teacher and I am a property manager and Justice of the Peace. We offer a single bedroom overlooking the lighthouse and beach, in a house with 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms, directly opposite Island Bay beach, and great food, in exchange for 3 hours per day help from someone with great painting and diy skills.
