Description
Hi, my name is Tracey. I work as a Writer, Astrologer, Massage and Reiki Healer and Therapist. I am a keen gardener and regularly go walking and do Yoga. I am a Pescatarian, which means I am mainly vegetarian but will eat Fish and Seafood but no Meat. I work from home. I live on a beautiful organic waterside property 3.5 km from KeriKeri township. It is peaceful and quiet. It is within walking distance to town, about 35 minutes.
There is off street parking if you have a car. I have 2 fur baby cats, one is a 3 legged male and his name is Mr Jimmy, the other is a female cat called Princess Nina.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will benefit from staying here by learning new skills and having a central base to explore the Bay of Islands from. I am close to 2 swimming holes and the Rainbow Falls walking track and the historic precinct of the Stone House and Plough & Feather Restaurant. I am also close to town - walking is 40 minutes but I also have a bicycle if you need it.
If you are interested in joining me for Yoga that is available. I can teach you a lot about prepping and being self sufficient. I can also look at your Astrology if you know your time of birth. That is always fascinating.
Help
I mainly need help with gardening and housework and general maintenance. Don't worry, I won't work you till you drop!
Languages
Languages spoken
English: FluentThis host offers a language exchange
I learnt a little German and French at school but have mostly forgotten this. I can still remember some words. I am also happy to learn Italian as I visited Italy and loved it. I wish I had learnt more of the language before I went there.
Accommodation
I offer a separate Queen Size room so can sleep a single person or a couple. This is in the upstairs of the house with the other bedroom at the end of the hallway, being mine. The bathroom is shared. Downstairs has a self contained flat with permanent tenant.
I am a pescatarian i.e. a vegetarian who eats fish and seafood. I do not cook meat. I prepare healthy and nutritious dishes using as much of my organic vege garden as I can. I need you to let me know if there is anything that you don't eat.
There is off street parking if you have a car. I can offer a bicycle if you don't have transport.
I am more of a night owl than an early bird however this won't stop you from your sleep requirements.
I do not want smokers, sorry. I recently had someone who smoked who did not follow the house rules so after that experience I have ruled out any smokers.
N.B. I can only put you up for 4 nights from Friday night to Tuesday day due to having a part time flat mate use the room. There is however a possibility of doing a time share with my friend David, who is a host, and lives around the corner and this has worked in the past with people staying between us for a longer stay in KeriKeri. You just need to be flexible for this to work.
What else ...
There is a lot to explore around the area and KeriKeri is a good base to do it from. We have a cinema, local theatre, supermarkets, the Packhouse markets on the weekend, walking tracks, a golf course, horse riding, swimming holes, beaches and historic areas to visit. There is not much in the way of public transport so I can offer a bicycle for you to use. Town is a 40 minute walk away or 10 minute bike ride. At the bottom of my property is a swimming hole and across the road is the walk to Charlies Rock swimming hole. I am always keen to take Workaways to the mineral Hot Springs at Ngawha. This is a definite treat not to be missed!!!
