    Description

    Kia Ora,
    our family of 3 is living in the Kaeo/Whangaroa Area in the beautiful winterless Far North of New Zealand. Claudia is from Germany and Cameron is from New Zealand. We both speak German and English. We are open to any language to learn a few words.
    On our Homestay we have 3 dogs, 2 goats, 2 sheep and 1 pigs. We just finished breeding a litter of pigs and are giving mumma pig Biscuit a summer break. Our goats are male and female. The female Maria we are drying up from milking to give her a break to but we are sure the male Ceaser will bless us with baby goats soon. Then we will be milking her again. We raised the two sheep from babies but now they are enjoying the grass. Our dogs are friendly and love to play fetch.
    We are half way through building a big work sheds and a chicken/pigs pen. We are also establishing gardens, at the moment mumma pig is preparing it for us.
    Right now Claudia needs help inside the house with sorting things and cleaning as well as feeding, moving and caring for the animals. We probably will require help outside projects aswell.
    My husband and I we like to go fishing and hunting and are happy to show and educate people about it. We also like to relax on the many close beaches or in the local hot pools called Ngawha Springs.
    We enjoy home grown food that we produce ourselves, especially meat.
    Please contact us, we are looking forward to hearing from you.
    Kind regards
    Cameron, Claudia & Minna
