    Description

    Hi there, I live on the bank of the Waitaki river, a large fishing and hydro river flowing from Mt Cook. We are in the middle of the south island. I am looking for some help to do some outdoor work, and cook our evening meal.the work is only 3 hours a day, I provide good accommodation and all the food. The river in front has great fishing, there's a swimming hole, and beautiful lakes close by. I can take couples and friends as well. feel free to ask questions, thanks Eve

    You will be close to nature here, beside the river, just hills and mountains around you. The town of Kurow, is small rural and friendly. You might want to drive the tractor?
