  Description

  My name is Robyn and I was born in NZ but have also lived in other countries. My husband is Fijian Indian and came to study in NZ and then stayed on in NZ. We have four children, one son still lives at home. We enjoy meeting people from other countries and have had homestays from various countries stay with us. We would now like to have some workaways to help with small projects around the house. We live in Rotorua which is where a lot of tourists like to visit as we have thermal hot pools, bike trails, lots of fun things to do and lots of lakes and the redwoods which have great hiking trails.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We would be happy to have meals together and play board games or just talk in the evenings. We can always drop you off if you need to be somewhere. We are close to town so in walking distance to shops and cafes. I would love to learn some cooking from other countries.

  Help

  We would like someone who enjoys cooking, house cleaning and tidying the gardens. We will sometimes do these things together and if I'm not home I can have the food out ready to cook.
