  • Description

    Description

    We are a family of four living on the beautiful Otago peninsula. Our children are 5 and 7 years old, and an elderly cat named Reginald. We are part of a interactive local community, with our local school and village half an hours walk away alongside the harbour. As a family we enjoy meeting people from around the world and sharing a bit of our life with them. We have an updated outside room for guests to stay.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live in a beautiful, quiet and peaceful part of the work. The locals are friendly and sociable. Nature is on your door step, the garden is full of birds and the harbour is on your door step. Even sitting at home feels away from it all. We love meeting new people and our children find it very exciting too.
