Description
Welcome to the beautiful Bay of Plenty!
We are a fun, friendly family in Tauranga! I am French and my husband is a kiwi. We live a busy but fun life with our 2 boys (1 & 4yo). We enjoy biking, running, cooking, travelling and many more outdoor activities.
We would love to host people who are honest, friendly, independent, hard-workers and are interested in meeting new people and enjoying what Tauranga has to offer.
We currently have some specific jobs that need to be done around the house: build a small garden shed, build a retaining wall, building a deck & small pergola, getting the house & garden ready for winter (includes pruning, mulching, waterblasting) . If you either a carpenter, skilled enough DIYer or landscaper to complete these jobs (or some of it) on your own, we'd love to hear from you!
You'll have your own space in the evening as the bedroom(s) and bathroom are in a self-contained (newly built) part of the house.
This is also where my office is located so I'll be there during the day (this is a separate room to the bedrooms).
We'll provide unlimited WiFi, breakfast, lunch and dinner in return for 4 hours work a day (or do longer days with more hours then take full days off for sightseeing).
We have 2 e-bikes for guests to enjoy.
We look forward to meeting you!
The family :)
