    Description

    Hi. Thanks for reading this listing. I live in the countryside near Cork City. The house is a new one with a big garden that is not finished. Workawayers did a lot last autumn... In exchange I have a guest mezzanine with a private shower en-suite for you to stay in, meals and good WiFi.

    I hope to host someone in January, February who knows a bit about gardening. Planting a shrubbery, putting in some raised beds , weeding, painting and DIY etc.
    Suitable for a single person, couple or two friends. The mezzanine has a double bed and a small sofa bed.
    I would be happy to help you out in learning English. I am a French teacher so I will be working Monday to Friday. I will be happy to drive you to the city or Ballincollig when I am going there.
    The nearest bus is the 208 which comes to Curraheen twice a day during the week. But it is a mile to the bus stop! I have a bike for you to use during your stay.
    Depending on your skills and the weather I will ask you to work on the garden, or painting inside, cleaning, general cleaning and house work... making a compost bin, raised beds, general garden weeding and maintenance.
