  Description

  Hello Everyone - we are Mark, a semi-retired(ish) maths and English teacher and Kanani, an artist and grower. We have been lucky enough to live on a wonderful 5 1/2 hectare lifestyle block, rich with native life, for the last 16 years. There always projects to be undertaken both inside and out. We are lively, curious, kind and welcoming 64/65 year olds, with adult children who are sometimes here. We live 10kms from the nearest shop and 30kms from the nearest town.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We both love languages and are happy to share. Español is the gold standard! Art and music feature strongly in our lives. We are involved in many activities and people are welcome to join in.

  Aide

  There's always garden tasks to be done and lots of house tasks as it's quite a big 200 m2 house. We make our own firewood and try to keep our land clear of pest plants. Sometimes we start new landscaping projects. Every year brings new ideas. Practical skills are always valued. We have picked up many skills and we are always happy to share.
  For 2025, we're looking at improving our 70m driveway, using a caulking gun to seal the inside of the house and clearing old vegetable gardens.
