  • Description

    Description

    My home is close to the ocean and I love its position . It is my little piece of paradise with a natural garden vegies chooks and a dog.
    I have lots of close friends living in the area as well as many friends living in Europe and my home country Germany.
    My home is situated in a small settlement only 8 kms from the next town with shops, post office, hospital and facilities.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    My background is German and I still have quite strong ties to the old country . My circle of friends is great, varied and interesting. I am an aged care worker and a keen walker, paddle outrigger canoes and my work away guests would be welcome to join me in all my social activities.

  • Help

    Help

    I would like help with the care of my garden and small maintenance and cleaning jobs around the house.
    Weeding, fertilising and trimming of vegetation, tending to the chooks and the vegetables.
    My home is a timber home on a hillside exposed to the weather from the ocean... so it needs general maintenance like windows, cement paths and pool cleaning, painting, varnishing and sometimes small repairs.
    I sm still working part-time, so will be away from home some days during the week.

    Room with a view and shared bathroom and toilet.

    Food us important. On my days off I would be happy to have a comfortable breakfast with my guest, on my works I might have to get up early and would take a quick bite and expect my guest to help her/ himself from the food in my kitchen.
    Evening meals are traditionally shared around the dining table with guest, friends and family. I love cooking, but would also like to try dishes from my guest's home country .
    Shared meals are important to me
