Description
Our home is surrounded by lush greenery and some wildlife. Your responsibilities will includes taking care of the house & our cat and tortoises. We kindly ask that you keep our furry friend entertained and his litter box clean. The three tortoises will also need daily feeding. In addition, you will be expected to help out in keeping the lawn tidy, and maintaining various part of the house ( Please check below for our latest project! ) We love good food! So, if you're up for it, we would appreciate it if you could cook us a meal and share your national dish with us.
You will have your own private room and en suite, ensuring that you have plenty of privacy. Our home is conveniently located near the beach, which is just a short 10-minute bike ride away. We also have a fantastic hiking trail close by, perfect for nature enthusiasts.
If you’re lucky, you might spot some of the wildlife that reside in the area, such as hornbills, a changeable hawk, night owl, wild boars, python snakes, monitor lizards, birds, kingfishers, dusky langurs, and short-tailed macaques. There's even a chance of seeing some otters in the park just in front of the house.
In return, we will normally have an excursion (not promise) for you if we are not too occupied with work :)

We had a great workaway exchange with shen, jessin and tofu!
The work was straight forward and all of the tools needed were there. Most of the time we were alone doing jobs as shen and jessin have their own restaurant to tend to (tofu was our boss whilst they were away). We played games in the evening and we also cooked a few times.
