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.
I manage and cook in a busy kitchen some evenings at the Barrier Social Club and also have a home based catering set-up.
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 the place.
