Description
Aloha~
We are a small fun-loving family, with a dog, in need of help with general home maintenance, tree trimming and gardening. We have a small, lovely, lush tropical stream-front garden in need of maintenance including household do-it-yourself projects. We prefer someone who is experienced with power tools. Some of our chores will include window cleaning, pet care, car washing, painting, green waste/rubbish removal and home organization. We ask you to log your tasks/hours.
We would also like to have an opportunity to practice our basic conversational Spanish and improve our knowledge of the language. We are quiet, early-to-bed/early-to-risers and we maintain a healthy lifestyle. Your space will be a dry, 20'x10' tent with an interior sleeping tent, sofa and hot garden shower. Electricity and wireless internet access are provided. This is luxury camping.
It is strongly recommended that you rent a car as we are a long way from the bus stop and you will want to explore this amazingly beautiful island during your off time. We will begin with a one week (or less) commitment and possibly extend the exchange if we are well-suited to workaway together. If you don't mind doing what needs to be done and working hard you will be able to be hosted very close to an exquisite beach in a highly desirable area of one of the most special islands on earth.
Thank you for your response, we look forward to a new adventure!

Mahalo and Aloha Jessica (:
I stayed with Jessica, Kailani & Kea (the white shepherd dog) for 11 days and I really enjoyed my time in the beautiful Moloa'a Bay on the garden Island.
In exchange for a very nice place to stay and good -mostly organic- food I've worked in the garden, took care of the dog, cleaned windows, drove the car and did all kinds of… read more
Jessica and her daughter Kailani are very nice and interesting.

Thank you Jessica :)
