Description
My wife and I have three young children and enjoy a life where we can learn through experience and interaction with our surroundings, our country and our world.
We are hobby beekeepers wanting to setup an apiary on our family property and create spaces for others to come visit and enjoy the nature around. You would be staying with us on a rural property around 30 minutes from Geraldine which includes over 20 Acres of native bush in the Te Moana Valley.
We currently have a camping setup while we visit and work on the property with tents or camper van for accommodation. Mobile coverage is limited.
Currently we are working on improving areas for camping and access through the native forest as well as general maintenance throughout the property.Types of help and learning opportunities

We have some tips and tricks for traveling NZ, and some favorite places around the South Island. We hope you will have some positive impact on our children's understanding and view of the world.
