    Description

    Kia Ora! We're Lindsay, Jason, and our two amazing kids, Jack (10) and Savannah (7). Welcome to our 4-acre slice of paradise, where life is a grand adventure waiting for you to join us!

    Nestled on our captivating lifestyle block, we're not just raising sheep, but dreams too. Our passion lies in cultivating organic gardens, nurturing the land, and exploring endless possibilities. Whether it's helping us develop our sustainable vision or diving into our shared interests, we offer a unique opportunity for you to be a part of our journey.

    Picture endless rounds of golf, with the lush greens as your playground. Perhaps you'll be serenaded by Jack's budding guitar skills under the starlit sky with a fire burning in the chiminea . And for those who cherish wellness, Lindsay is a Vitalistic Chiropractor, with a clinic right here on our property.

    So, if you're seeking a family-friendly adventure, a chance to grow with us, and a slice of New Zealand life like no other, join us on our lifestyle block, where every day is an opportunity to create unforgettable memories and share your unique talents with our growing family.

    The accomodation we have a single bedroom in the house, with a shared bathroom, or a modern caravan that is nice and cosy, this is best for couples but we can use this for a single guest as well. We would prefer a couple and if you have a car that is really handy as we are based quite rurally. We prefer to host people for longer terms 2 weeks+ as it takes time to get used to how things work and where to find everything that you need.

    We look forward to meeting you.

Would love to have someone teach my children another language or spend time speaking to them and teaching a different culture.

    We offer 3 meals a day. We eat as organic as possible. We do eat meat, but can offer enough options for vegetarian diets, however I am not that creative with cooking vegetarian options.
