Description
Hi my name is Kat and I live on Great Barrier Island with my partner Shaun and our 2 girls.
We have a very friendly dog called Lenny and a ginger cat called Simba. We are sociable, friendly, enjoy a drink in the sun on our deck or at the beach and the barrier is such a great place to live.
Our home is 2 minutes walk to the local shop and beach, we enjoy fishing and beach life. Paddleboard and surfboard available to use too.
My friends use workaway and I've met some great people through them. I've decided I'd like to join in the fun too and have someone help out around our home.
