Description
Would you like to help renovating a monumental coach house on a former estate or help with the veg garden? Then this is your stop!
We are a young NZ / Dutch family with two kids looking for people who can help us with a major project that we took on: a 500 m2 house that needs renovating. We are turning it into our residential house + two guest houses. Our aim is to make it as sustainable as possible.
We are living on a 5,5 ha estate, it is super green and we have our own veg garden. It is pretty idyllic out here!
BUILDER'S PROFILE: Someone who has got practical experience in building or at least is practical, a high interest in renovating old houses in a sustainable fashion, a great work ethic and someone who doesnt mind getting his/her hands dirty.

Richard is from New Zealand and is very knowledgeable when it comes to entrepreneurship, building, climbing and acroyoga. Hannah is Dutch, runs her own business in communications and writing, loves books, tennis, yoga, film and arts.
We are focused on living a purposeful life, and share all the knowledge that we have obtained so far in our lives with our Workawayers - and we love learning from you! We have 3 young girls, who are a joy to be around.
We have a healthy lifestyle, meaning we eat lots of veges, freshly made food and limited meat. We dont smoke and drink with moderation.

3 meals a day are included. Breakfast is whatever you like (muesli, toast, porridge, fruit, coffee, tea), warm lunch (pasta, omelette or soup for instance) and dinner (big variety of dishes, from risotto to quiche, lasagna to quinoa or curry). We eat mainly vegetarian, but we do it some meat and fish every week. In addition to the Workaway hours it is much appreciated if you help out preparing dinner and cleaning up afterwards. We do it together, so that's fun.
