Description
Our home has a view of Kawau Bay and 7mins walk to Algies Bay. My partner and I are looking to invite people into our home to help with some home projects involving hard physical labour taking our dog Keith for long walks when you go exploring our area. We love spending time outdoors and sharing these experiences with others. There is a public bus 4mins walk from our door and there is lots to enjoy within walking distance alone and in the local area with us.
You would be expected to work 4hrs per day plus 1-2hr dog walking in exchange for food, accommodation and activities.
