Hi there
Thank you for stopping by ;)
We live in a beautiful farmhouse in Goughs Bay, 20-minute drive from Akaroa. We have a child, so you must be good with children. If you love animals you’ll love our place, dogs, chickens, ducks, friendly sheep and cows, surrounded by amazing natural beauty and quiet, with hours of walks from our doorstep. We are literally at the End of the Earth!
If you love home grown organic produce, and want to learn and experience a sustainable lifestyle during your stay in New Zealand than this is the right place for you.
You will get to enjoy New Zealand farm life and meet our sheep, pet lamb Spotty. Our famous pet dogs Bella and Ruby and farm dog Lance/BOY ;) Of-course, you will also meet our chickens - Margaret, Brown girl, Mary, Rocky... The last but not the least you will get a chance to feed our ducks - Lucky and Ducky and their flock.
We raise our own meat, so we eat meat often. And we like people to commit to the dates they wish to stay for.
We have a range of activities, anyone with skills in small machine maintenance, mechanical, building skills, carpentry, sewing and interior design, painting, metal work will have a lot of fun helping out here, we do everything ourselves and learn as we go.
Farm life is sometimes physically demanding.
cheers
Marie and Asif

We enjoyed getting to know the farm life and how things work.
The area around the farm and Akaroa was also totally beautiful and we enjoyed exploring.
We will keep the time at Goughs Bay forever within us.
