Description
I am a single woman, aged 75. I have 2 adult children (one who lives in Christchurch & another who lives in the Northern Hemisphere) & three grandchildren. I work part-time as a tour guide, I assist people relocating to Christchurch & I offer accommodation to members of the online rental community.
I am busy with family & friends (I like to entertain & be entertained) & I love my activity in particular - skiing, mountain biking, tennis & golf. I don't have enough time to do the necessary work on my garden or the strength for some of the things I would like to do.
In exchange for work around the house (mainly gardening), I am offering the opportunity to stay in a self-contained unit at the back of my house. I also offer meals which may be shared, depending on the wishes of the guest, & my busy schedule.
I would only have work for a maximum of a week.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
I am a good host & would make the travellers stay as comfortable & enjoyable as possible. My role as a tour guide means I know, in particular, the South Island of NZ & can assist with recommendations as to what to do according to their interests
I will assist travellers to get the most out of their stay in Christchurch. It is possible, but I can’t gurarantee I will be able to introduce the traveller to like-minded people.

Aide
My needs are mostly in the garden - hedge trimming, weeding, pruning, planting, raking, watering, applying fertiliser, digging etc at my house or my daughters.
It is possible that babysitting/entertaining a nearly three-year-old & a nearly one-year-old could be an option (again, helpful to my daughter).
I would even consider someone offering to cook their specialty dish for myself & friends. I love to entertain!

Hébergement
I live in a large, open-plan home, The house is divided into two units. I offer the back half to travellers. The rooms are light, with high ceilings. It is well located: a 10-minute drive from the airport & to the central city - a 5-minute walk to classy Merivale - cafes, shops & St Georges Hospital. There are two bedrooms: the master bedroom has a double & single bed. The second bedroom has a queen bed. The living room has a couch & television. It opens out on to a patio with outdoor furniture. There is one bathroom with a shower with a separate toilet. The kitchenette is also the laundry. It is adequate for preparing breakfast & heating a light meal. It has a toaster, microwave & hot water jug.
Autres infos...
There is a bus stop within 100 meters of the house. This gives the traveller access to the entire city with a hub in the central city. Private parking and free parking on the road are also available. Within an hour’s drive from Christchurch, you have the mountains (west) the sea (east) & lots of lovely places north & south & in-between.

Don’t miss Le Panier, the French bakery in the neighborhood!

The work was enjoyable mainly around the garden (planting, weeding, trimming, cutting back and tidying up).
Delicious food was provided, we never went hungry and nothing was too much trouble.
We would thoroughly recommend :)
