Description
From 20 July until 15 November
Hello Workawayers!
We are a South African/ Canadian family who recently bought a cabin right next to the beach in a small , very safe costal town on the Garden Route of South Africa.
We are 350km north east of Cape Town.
We plan to change this cabin into a cute holiday cabin that will be suitable to rent out to families, surfers or any adventurers who want to be within 5 minutes walk to the beach and lagoon.
But we need a bit of help with the last bit of renovations. The rental income from this cabin will go towards a good cause, we can tell you more once you arrive! -
