Description
all sorts of help needed to maintain and improve a modest suburban home in the tourist mecca of Rotorua...

Rotorua is a world-renowned tourist mecca famous for Maori cultural experiences, geothermal attractions, spas, hot pools, nature & wildlife parks, biking, marathons & outdoor adventures. I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and providing guests with an opportunity to recharge and relax, or get out and about enjoying Rotorua in exchange for low-stress, easy tasks.
Aide
**CURRENT PRIORITIES: painting, basic carpentry, drywall replacements, lawn pimping **
This very modest accommodation is available in exchange for an equally modest amount of time. Two options: 2 hours per person per night (14 hrs per week), buy & prepare your own food; or 5 hours work per person per night (30 hrs per week), includes all meals. If choosing the meals included option, your work time includes shopping, meal prep and tidy up.
Flexible start/finish times to have full days free to enjoy being a tourist. There is a long to-do list to restore the property to a pristine state to prepare for sale - housekeeping, lawn mowing, weeding, cleaning, repairs and maintenance. Select tasks that suit the weather and your interests and - the important part! - your abilities :) Creative healthy food preppers are particularly welcome. Suggestions welcomed also to make use of any specific skills or experience you have if you spot something that needs doing not already on the to-do list.Langues parlées
Anglais: Courant
Hébergement
Unlimited highspeed wifi. Large well-stocked supermarket just a few minutes' walk away. As per photo, bedroom is tiny with just enough room for a double bottom bunk and single top bunk. Plenty of space in the adjacent garage storage area for backpacks or suitcases etc.

Please note your host is quite introverted plus very busy with work commitments. If it is essential for you to spend lots of time being entertained by a chatty host family in an upmarket situation, this is definitely NOT the place for you. This homestay is ideal however for self-reliant, independent travellers who value privacy and a good night's sleep.
In addition to the nearby Countdown supermarket, there are several takeaway food outlets plus a bus stop on Fairy Springs Road (SH5) a few minutes' walk away. Skyline Luge Gondola is visible from the driveway. We're on the north side of town, 3.5 kms from the Rotorua iSite bus depot.Informations complémentaires

As described by others, Caro is a wonderful host, and person.
Her work is very organized, so you can choose from a list of indoor, outdoor, or priority tasks that suit your skills, and do the work at your pace. This is a great place for people who thrive in self-directed work.

From the very first moment we met Caro we felt at home, she's sooo nice and friendly. We've come to Rotorua to run the Tarawera trail and couldn't hope for a best home to prepare: amazing room, nice atmosphere, structured to-do list (she has a list of task, so helpful!), and cheering (are you crazy? why run… read more
