Descripción
I live in a small seaside town in an out of the way road but still close to all facilities. I have a big section that has a lot of lawns to mow and gardens to look after. Would be interested in exchanging language and cultural differences as well as getting help with the property. We have a beautiful surf beach and separate estuary with lots of tracks through the region. There are 2 push bikes available for exploring the area. I have a lovable dog, Marshall, who loves being taken to the beach to play with his fellow canines or just walked but definitely played with.

Margaret took me in last-minute and let me stay for 10 days. I'm really grateful for it! I had an amazing time in Mangawhai, which is a cozy little town. We always started the day by having a walk on the beach with Marshall and having a little swim after. Marshall is such a lovely dog, who loves to mingle with other dogs and chase after birds.… read more

It was unfortunate I was quite ill when Simon and Emma-arrived.
This made it difficult to fully describe tasks that were needed along with the language differences. However, they were still able to help out a lot with exercising my dog, mowing lawns, housework and cooking .

Luca was new to Workaway and initially did not realise his initiative was important. Being only 18 we were surprised at his maturity.
We had interesting discussions and Luca excelled at housekeeping, ironing, cooking and caring for my dog.
Once he realised what was needed he was excelled. A lesson for me too in communication.

Ylva was an efficient, easygoing Workawayer. She was very helpful in all aspects of the running of the house and enjoyed our beach life.
We sampled a lovely traditional Swedish dish expertly cooked by Ylva.
Can recommend Ylva to you home.
