  Description

  I live on a small lifestyle block by the river, about 8 kms from Waipawa, and about 4 kms from the iconic Patangata Tavern.
  I have a 4 bedroom house which I live in, but also have 2 cabins and a caravan on the property which offer great accommodation for up to 4 people.
  I'm really easy going, with a great sense of humour, love to meet new people from different environments, and look forward to hearing from you.
