Descrição
***Covid 19 update: I am looking for workawayers who are currently in NZ to join me at my beautiful lodge situated near Collingwood, Golden Bay. The biggest task is care giving and elderly companionship, and workawayers should also enjoy cooking, light housekeeping, and taking my dog Princess for walks! As a result of this virus, I can no longer entertain lodge guests and have no income. Therefore, applicants (couples preferred) will have to share the cost of food and living (to be discussed).*** We are a boutique bed & breakfast lodge established in the Aorere Valley in Golden Bay at the top of the South Island. I host couples with their own car so you are able to enjoy the area's stunning views, great walks and beaches. We do not involve workaways in any activity involving guests or the business. We just enjoy the international exchange and foreign cuisine.

This guest lodge is set in 25 acres of bush and native forest with beautiful views. I am getting older (almost 80), and am looking for general living companionship. Priority given to couples. Care-giving will involve cooking meals for us to eat together, some house work and chopping firewood. If you love cooking, I have a fully equipped kitchen in which to indulge your cooking talent!
