Detalhes

Descrição
I am retired and live in the lovely little beachy town of Orewa, 30- 45 minutes north of Auckland. Two sweet kitties live with me in a warm house 5 minutes from the river estuary, 10 minutes walk to our beautiful Orewa beach. There are river walks, bush walks, regional parks, many nice cafes, art gallery, cycle paths, cute shops and little weekend markets all around here. People also swim, windsurf and paddle board in the estuary and the sea.
I live by myself and need help in the garden especially- weeding, turning compost, maintaining the vege garden, creating garden beds, making a path, planting a hedge, organising the garden shed. Also a bit of cleaning - the gutters, driveway, fences.
Bus stop is 5 minutes away and connects to Auckland and even the airport. I go into Auckland regularly so can arrange pickup/drop offs.
I have hosted many helpers over the years here and in my other houses- I really enjoy meeting people and hearing about their travels and home countries.
I offer a comfortable private room and own bathroom, free meals, internet etc

Communication was excellent and she arrived on time as agreed.
We had some excellent meals and conversations, and lots of laughs. She was very polite and respectful.
I fully recommend Selma as an excellent Workawayer.
