Description
I am a single mother, who is busy with life, full time work, and the important job of raising my 2 great kids and menagerie, including 2 dogs, and a tolerant cat! No time to take care of my rambling garden, and my cottage which is needing some attention! Our family is well--travelled and we love meeting people from all over the world.

I am lucky to live in beautiful Banks Peninsula, in the funky Port town of Lyttelton. I have lived here for 19 years and love the sense of community. I can introduce you to the area and the surrounding town of Christchurch, which is flourishing following the devastating earthquakes of 2011. I share our small historical cottage with teenage daughter, 2 dogs, and a cat. I work outside of Lyttelton, but previously owned a local restaurant and still am a passionate cook, and like learning about other cuisines.

Aide
I have a large rather unruly garden that needs attention, plus housework and some small maintenance/building jobs. I also have 2 beautiful dogs that love walks!
Langues parlées
Anglais: Courant
Hébergement
We have a separate sleepout at the bottom of the garden with a very comfortable Queen size bed. You will need to come up to the cottage to share our bathroom, kitchen and living areas.
Autres infos...
Explore the banks peninsula area, the Christchurch city area or North Canterbury, where you will find an array of interesting activities, including world class vineyards. We have a great public bus system from Lyttelton which is an easy ride into the heart of Christchurch. During the summer months we have lovely beaches that you can walk to, and some fabulous walks just on our back doorstep. During winter you can take to the slopes, an easy 1 1/2 hour drive, or enjoy the local scene.

Becca and Meg were wonderful workaway guests. They are both so positive and friendly with a great 'can do' attitude. They did all of the agreed tasks to a very high standard, and alongside this were so helpful around the house with chores and general helping out.

Thank you Shelley, Stella & Paul for a wonderful welcoming stay. Lola, Masie & Nero were the sweetest bunch to look after, and the beautiful bay dog walks were stunning. We stayed just over a week and spent our time weeding & clearing the garden, and did a short house & pet sit while Shelley worked away. A highlight of our stay was Paul and his… read more

I spent almost two weeks there, Shelley, Stella and Finn are awesome, and the dogs so cute ! The job was good (mainly gardening, mowing and weedeating, cleaning inside when it's raining), and Shelley is really flexible about the hours and the days off. They are all really good cookers, I enjoyed all the meals with them.
