Description
I welcome independent, self-reliant travelers to my suburban Rotorua base. On offer is a warm, comfortable, fully self-contained bedsit / sleepout / garden house in exchange for focused, targeted assistance to help me maintain the property and organize and cull my possessions as I prepare to downsize and relocate.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Rotorua is a world-renowned tourist mecca famous for Māori cultural experiences, geothermal attractions, and outdoor adventures.
For me, an authentic cultural exchange is based on sharing knowledge and information enjoying each other's company and contributions; it is not just a tourism entertainment service. Having spent many years working overseas and travelling extensively myself, I value diverse world views, fresh perspectives, and the mutual learnings that arise from Workaway. For autonomous travellers who appreciate learning through action and who value having privacy in an independent space, this is an opportunity for a stress-free, relaxing part of your journey. I am always happy to share local knowledge to help guests make the most of the stay in Rotorua and for travelling throughout Aotearoa New Zealand :) -
Aide
This self-contained accommodation is available in exchange for 2 hours of focused daily assistance per person (14 hours p/w). Helpers buy and prepare their own food.
Start and finish times are entirely flexible to ensure you have full days free to explore. I like to be organized and can usually (but not always) provide a to-do list—including routine housekeeping and property maintenance, as well as 1-off projects. You have freedom to select tasks that perfectly match the weather, your interests, and the most important part! your abilities :) -

Autres infos...
Please note that I am highly introverted and frequently immersed in work for my clients. If it is essential for you to spend your time being actively entertained by a chatty host family in an upscale social environment, this is NOT the best fit for your journey. My home is ideal for independent, autonomous travelers who value privacy, respect quiet professional spaces, and appreciate a comfortable night's sleep.
There is a major supermarket, local takeaway outlets, and bus stops on Fairy Springs Road (SH5) just a few minutes' walk from the driveway. The Skyline Luge Gondola is clearly visible from the property. -

Espace pour garer des vans
There is a 240V mains hook-up outlet on the exterior of your accommodation for vehicles with an NZ Electrical Standards compliant power cable. I now use Wireless Nation for mobile internet data in both my own motorhome when on the road and at the house when staying there, so sorry, there is now no unlimited fibre wifi on site to share with guests - BYO data.

From the very first moment we met Caro we felt at home, she's sooo nice and friendly.
