Hi everybody, we are live simply for the sake of the planet and our own sanity. That means we can spend time with our children and have a big garden and animals (2 horses, a few goats and cows for making yogurt, butter and cheese) on our piece of land hidden behind the trees in the Hokianga.
We live 4 hours drive north from Auckland, in a small house made from our own trees and recycled materials.
We like sharing our simple lifestyle and cooking fresh vegetables from the garden and home killed meat.
We like playing board games and playing music too.

Comfy Caravan for your sleeping quarters. We have hot water from the woodstove which we cook on. Compost toilet. No internet provided but 3G signal through Vodafone. No washing machine. Simple but satisfying.
For meals we usually prepare together and share the meals together. It's often fresh from the garden and home made.
Few nice places to visit close by : Koutu boulders, swim in the river or in the sea, nice beaches (surfing too), nice walks (waterfall, bush, beach), natural hot pools 30mins drive, huge old Kauri trees.
Good hitchhiking.
