    Description

    Kia ora, I am 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 offer separate accommodation in a 3 x 6 m cabin ( suitable one person or a couple). I 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.
