    Description

    We are a fun loving, easy going English couple with various skills and experiences.
    We are looking for help around the house and help with our renovations (nothing too complicated just an extra pair of hands really) and help with the plants and rural garden.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live in a quiet area only a 5 minute drive from a small and beautiful sea side town, if you don't have transport you could stroll to the beach about 45/60 mins and the lane is fairly flat, or we have two bicycles available, however, if we are going in the same direction then of course we would take you!!
    As individuals we have traveled extensively during our time together, we love to meet new people and share stories and we are happy to pass on our life and work experiences as well, and of course there is always help with English language on a daily basis.
    We are great believers in giving and helping anyone in need and encouraging others to try new things and think and act for themselves in both a work environment and also in the family home.

    Help

    We have a fairly large house with an annex apartment which is more or less finished.
    However, we are still looking for help with the new renovations to come. We have started updating the inside of the main property so there may be some cementing,digging,cleaning up, and probably some painting around the property.
    We also have a small plot of land at the back of the property that needs some attention and inspiration!
    No fear, there will be liter jobs like house cleaning, looking after the plants and keeping the terraces swept and clean, and walking the dog.

    We hope to find people who are adaptable and willing, but definitely need for them to be motivated.

    We are always open to suggestions on the help needed, we work well together and also with others, we appreciate extra help and input, but take nothing or no one for granted.

    You will have your own private space either in the annex apartment or the top room in the main house. There are three shower rooms on the premises, one is in the annex (working) and the other two are in the main house. At the moment we only have one working shower in the main house which means that you may be sharing with us.... gladly though,all three toilets are working at least!!
    Your meals will be provided etc, and items like shower gel/shampoo/towels we be available to you. However, if you want something off the menu or extra personal items they are down to you .

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The beautiful little town of Castell de Ferro is a bustling fishing town and is known for its long beaches and clear waters of Andalucia. There are plenty of bars and restaurants, shops and local supermarkets etc, however, we often go to a larger town (Motril) at least every fortnight to shop, so you could spend some time exploring the area and there is a good bus service back. Other than that, we are close to Granada and there are several ways to get around (ie. buses or bla bla car) on your free time.
