Georgina(10 years old) loves being active, and dancing. We love having fun. Ashley and the girls all enjoy horse riding and polo. Our lodge is a boutique style hotel which sleeps 24 - it has a restaurant and bar and is located on our family farm, which has much wildlife. The farm neighbours a game reserve with Rhino, Zebra and Giraffe and a large lake which offers water sports. Our family and guests spend a lot of time here enjoying the wildlife, boating and water-skiing. Although we live in a rural area, we have a tight knit and sociable community and there is much opportunity to meet people and make friends. Suitable to an active/ outdoors person. On the farm and lodge we employ 20 local employees, which range from management to handymen. Under no circumstance, is a Workawayer here to replace a staff member, only to experience our diverse property.

  Aide

  We live and work on a diverse farm. The farm consists of livestock as well as crops. The farm also has a guest lodge on it, which caters to domestic and international guests. We would require help with hospitality, welcoming/entertaining guests. We would also require assistance with our children. We are a polo playing family, and therefore if the Workawayer is a competent horse rider, and able to assist with the horses, this would be an advantage. Suitable to active/ outdoors person.
