Description
Hello Wonderful travellers, we have become empty nesters ~ our two children in their 20’s have flown the coupe! We have always enjoyed sharing our space with visitor's, exchange students etc and considered this was a lovely way to continue to host and provide visitors with fabulous kiwi hospitality. We are on a small rural lifestyle only minutes from the best beaches Tauranga has to offer. Lots of gardens, bird life and beautiful sun sets!
We do have two fur babies (Cats)… and chickens … and are surrounded by farms with lots of fabulous farm life.
