Description
We are a family with two adult sons, one now lives in Germany with his wife and the other lives next door with his partner and child. We live on a beautiful peninsula on the Kaipara harbour. We have animals, an extensive garden and orchard. We are interested in organic architecture and have built an unusual house which is mostly finished. We also own, and are working on and operating an iconic sculptural cafe in the center of Kaiwaka. (Eutopia) We offer separate accommodation, cater for vegetarians or meat eaters. Work varies from gardening, to helping with building, painting, art projects, landscaping, cleaning etc. We like sailing, but our boat is on the hard needing a big repair undertaking.
