Split property - primary location for accommodation in a large home with yard, and a block from a popular ocean beach and hiking trails. Great accommodations. Great opportunity for some help around the place and lots of time for hiking, cycling, swimming and seeing a beautiful area. It ain't Tofino but it also doesn't have the crowds. Secondary property 5 minutes away and 2 blocks from Powell Lake public beach. Transportation provided.
Opportunities to explore the region for swimming, hiking, biking, climbing, outdoor dining, lawn and garden maintenance.
Good amount of spare time for yourself to see the area. Understanding of the guests needs and purposes for travel. Informal English lessons. Flexible in life style: eat alone, eat with others, personal time, open communication important. Diet and culturally sensitive. Happy, comfortable, laid back, balanced lifestyle. A safe environment.

All depends on how physical one is - Timo walked everywhere - Florian exercised every day - Lucas tried the trails. List goes on and on. Contact for more information.
