Help
We have recently moved to Raglan & moving into a new house 20 February, & looking for a couple of helpers who are hardworking, enthusiastic, positive, & have initiative, who would like to have a great Kiwi experience helping us. We have 2 of our families living nearby including 5 grandkids
You will have your own beautiful King Bedroom & private bathroom in our new designer/stylish home in the heart of the Rangitahi Peninisula
Most of the help is general landscaping and helping us tidy the gardens along with some help around the house. Celia loves to cook & make bread each day, so there are 3 meals included plus a delicious morning tea... in exchange for 5 hours help fr 5 days out of 7. We are happy to help teach some favourite NZ recipes!
You can be flexible with your hours so you can have your days off to explore this beautiful region! There are beaches & surf spots nearby, with lots of walking tracks in the native bush around our Peninsula, & we are only 5 minutes from the town.
Its essential to have your own transport as there are no bus services to our property.
We are busy & sociable, enjoy walking mountain biking & are happy to include you in some of our outings if we can!! We are Smokefree!!
This is an opportunity to enjoy some time in this cool vibe beach town.
