    Descripción

    Richard and Carolyn live in sunny Nelson at the top of the South Island. They have the best of both worlds... walking distance to town and the great outdoors on their doorstep. Richard works full-time in mental health and Carolyn runs a small Bed & Breakfast, and also looks after her mother Lorna who has been living in the house next door since 2017. Lorna is a very cheerful 98 year old who ran a dairy farm with her husband for 42 years. She is a big animal lover and has ridden horses all of her life. Lorna's dog passed away so Carolyn and Richard's dog spends a lot of time at her house, keeping her company. Lorna has been an amateur artist all of her life and her paintings cover the walls in her cottage. She also writes poetry and loves reading. Lorna has home help mornings and evenings so needs no other personal cares. Her needs are simple....help with things she can no longer physically do such as gardening, making and tending to the fire in Winter, clothes washing , cooking, house cleaning and going places in her car or in her wheelchair. She uses a walker to mobilise around her house but her arthritis prevents her from going for walks of any length.
    Richard and Carolyn are both active and enjoy hiking and cycling. Their dog Mia is a very friendly (spaniel/poodle cross) who is always up for a walk in the hills or a run at the beach. They are both passionate about cooking and coffee and love growing things in the garden. They have travelled and lived overseas and enjoy meeting people of all cultures and backgrounds. Their diet is largely vegetarian but they eat seafood also.
    Nelson is well known for it's lovely climate, wealth of outdoor activities, incredible arts community and a very positive upbeat atmosphere. It is close to the sea, the bush, the mountains and four beautiful National Parks, the most famous being Abel Tasman National Park. Cycle trails and hiking tracks are everywhere.
    Half of their house is a dedicated Bed and Breakfast suite where they host one group (of up to 3 guests) at a time.

    We would like help with gardening, cooking and house tasks especially when the B & B is busy. We are pescatarian ( eat vegetarian and seafood) so if you are into cooking those sorts of meals then we are happy to give you the run of the kitchen. Carolyn's elderly mother Lorna has moved into the house next door so she also needs support with similar tasks. We welcome people with DIY skills, as we often have other types of tasks on offer such as painting, simple building projects and general maintenance.
    We are looking for mature, independent people who show initiative. We welcome people who are able to help unsupervised, once they have been shown what is required. Outside of help time we hope you will enjoy exploring our beautiful region.

    We are able to take single people. Our workawayer guests stay at my mothers house next door as it is nice for her to have company and she has a large spare room with a Queensize bed. There is a separate bathroom for workawayers to use. Meals and project tasks are shared between our two homes.
