    Description

    Hi there! We have lived in beautiful Bream Bay for 14 years. I am an osteopath and my partner Ced is currently semi retired. We have a 25 acre lifestyle block in Ruakaka with horses, alpaca, a very friendly 5 year old collie cross called Kiah, two cats and free range chickens.

    We are 5 minutes to the coast, shops and cafes. We have a self contained cabin with a spa pool available for a single person or couple. We love the quiet and friendly atmosphere here and the nature. Bream Bay is a very diverse multicultural community. If you like hiking and the outdoors, then Northland has a lot to offer. Mount Manaia and Parihaka are fantastic walks set in scenic reserves with fantastic views.

    Duties around the property would be helping out with weed eating, fencing and basic property maintenance.
