    Description

    Family farm located 5 minutes from Muriwai beach.

    Large, spacious family home.
    Family of seven with five children - 3 who are currently at University, and two at home.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Come and stay with our family and enjoy some country living. We eat a lot of our own produce, and grow as much of our own fruit as possible. We border a large native bush reserve, and visitors love to take advantage of the lovely walks at our back door. Muriwai has one of the best surf beaches, and hosts its own "Gannet colony". We enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and sharing our family time with you.
