    Description

    Hi there, I live on the bank of the Waitaki river, a large fishing river flowing from Mt Cook, and the downstream Lakes. I am looking for some help building and converting a garage to accommodation, and to build a separate bathroom/toilet. Also some outdoor work. you will have your own separate cottage,I provide food and you cook the evening meal the way you like it. The river in front has great fishing, there's a swimming hole, and beautiful lakes close by. feel free to ask questions, thanks Eve
