Descripción
Raglan is famous for its black sand beach and amazing surfing .
We are Jill and Paul (in our 60’s). We have recently moved to Raglan from Auckland.
Our home is newly built and situated on the edge of the estuary at Rangitahi Peninsula, Raglan. Our home is warm, sunny and comfortable and has amazing water views and is surrounded by lots of bush walks. Our Workaway guests have their own bedroom and bathroom and access to their own lounge if required.
Raglan is a very popular destination for young people from all over the world. It is renowned for its sustainability and many enterprising small businesses e.g. Raglan coconut yoghurt, Dreamview Dairy, The Workshop Brewing Company, Tony Sly Potteries, Soul shoes and bags.
We have hosted many students and workaways in our homes (Auckland and Raglan) over the years. Our current projects include dog walking, gardening, painting, and cleaning. -

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
We have hosted foreign language students who come to learn English so are very used to having people of different cultures and languages in our home and helping them feel welcome. We live in a lovely coastal town called Raglan, two hours drive from Auckland. There are buses from Auckland to Hamilton and a regular bus service from Hamilton to Raglan. The centre of town is a 20 minute walk from where we live.

We have recently moved into our new house and now we have lots of finishing to do like cleaning windows and the house exterior; painting doors and skirting boards, some cleaning and gardening. We expect our workaways to offer between 4 and 5 hours per day in return for board and meals. We are flexible regarding what time they do their work.
