Description
we are a group of friends from New Zealand who have spent many years traveling the world and doing snow seasons in Japan and Europe.
we brought this place just recently to create our little slice of heaven in the Japanese alps. Hakuba is an amazing place and we cant wait for you to see it for yourself ! This is not an established business it is a private residence.
whether its house sitting, general gardening we look forward to contributing to the work-away community

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
we are are group of young friends from New Zealand, Lachlan and Jordan are a couple with young baby Poppy, and myself ! we are well traveled and love the mountains. we have done 5 or 6 snow seasons in japan and 3 seasons in Europe. we have lived on and off in perth for a number of years in the construction and mining industry.
we over a chill vibe in a amazing location and the opportunity to come check out what Hakuba has to offer.
what we hope for from work-away is the ability to offer free accomdation to young travellers in exchange for help around our house, we understand how nice it is to stay in a house and cook your own food when you have been on the road for awhile !
exchange travel storys and enjoy a nice cold beer with the view of the japense alps
Help
house sitting, general cleaning, help around the property. We have as many hours as you wish to help, a minimum of 4 or 5 hours a day would be good. For 5 days a week preferably. We're setting up our new property from scratch, so putting together flat packs like beds and other furniture will be a big help for us. The help we need would include helping remove the waste. Trips to the recycling centre, helping make beds up, helping with the gardens etc. it will be pretty straightforward and easy help. We're a large property just needing extra hands to help out.
In exchange We would love to show you round Hakuba, we also have a pretty impressive cook that lives with us and has been making some yummy meals, along with cozy accommodation nestled up on a big hill with amazing views.Thanks
