Este projeto pode envolver crianças. Para mais informações, veja aqui nossas diretrizes e dicas.
Ajuda
We need help mostly around the farm and house. Nothing difficult, just odds and ends that have gotten away from us. We don't provide paid work as nothing we will ask you to do involves any businesses.
Idiomas
Inglês: Fluente
Acomodação
We offer comfortable rooms in our home with easy access to everything.
We provide breakfast, lunch and dinner. We would prefer it if you didn't have any special food requirements as it makes cooking for the family quite complicated. We all eat together and enjoy conversation.
Algo mais...
Unfortunately we can’t accept couples.
During days off there is lots to do in and around Rotorua. We can offer transportation as we go to town several times a week.
