Description
Hi, I live in a comfortable house in a cute community, close to a beach, and about one hour by train from Wellington. I have two spare bedrooms and am keen to swap some gardening and general help, for accommodation.
I love this part of NZ and am a keen photographer. I'm always happy to share ideas of what to do and see here and in other parts of NZ.
Raumati South is a fantastic place all year round for walks on the beach, great sunsets, close to bike trails, cafes and restaurants.
The food provided is vegan/plant based.Types of help and learning opportunities

I can offer some fun, friendly ideas about travel in NZ, help with English or basic Maori vocab and pronunciation, and introduce visitors to a Kiwi lifestyle.

Gardening, painting, housework if it's wet outside. For 2024 I am particularly looking for people with carpentry skills.
