Fixing, fun and family in Foxton, New Zealand

  Descrição

  We are a little family of 5 with big plans and dreams for our house and section but not enough time to fulfil them all by ourselves. We spent 8 months in 2019/2020 travelling the world, making the most of the year parental leave we had for our second child. We spent part of that year as workawayers and enjoyed all the lovely people we met and the work we did, and thought that workawayers will give us a little of the world at home and the extra strength we need to get our projects going.

  Ajuda

  Our house is in desperate need of maintenance, e.g., the house and garage need painting, we need to replace some ceilings indoors, sand and varnish the floors etc etc. We also have some garden projects that would need some extra care. The next biggest job is to build some retaining walls for our veg garden and get going on extensive landscaping.
  Your main jobs will be in the garden and on the house but we life in a small house and you will become part of the family. As such the usual tasks of cooking, cleaning up after the meals and general tidiness also fall on. Our kids are 6, 4 and 2 years old and it would be great if you are also happy to play with them from time to time or rather you might be hard pressed not to as they love new people and are used to interacting with travellers (or 'the big kids' as our oldest calls our fellow travel buddies :-) )

  Algo mais...

  We are about 5km away from the beach (you can borrow a bike and bodyboards if you like) and Foxton has some cafes, shops, a windmill and some local museums. Wellington is about 1.5h drive away and Palmerston North 30 min. Some of the Wellington Buses stop in Foxton and we can give you a ride to Palmy when we go, which is fairly frequently. We are surrounded by hikes in the Tararuas although you probably need a car to get there.
