  Description

  Kia ora, I am a woman in my 60s on a lifestyle block in Raglan on the West Coast of the North Island. The property borders a reserve where you can walk to the famous Raglan surf beach. I have small nursery project where I am raising plants to rejuvenate the banks of the Wainui Stream that goes through the property. I live in a house and there is one other that lives on the property in their own flat.
  I offer separate accommodation in a 3 x 6 m cabin ( suitable one person or a couple), with outdoor kitchen and composting loo. II would love some help with odd jobs such as light maintenance work and gardening.
  Property is 4km from Raglan town with daily bus to Raglan/Hamilton available near the gate. Bicycles available for your use. Must be ok with cats and occasional dogs.
