Description
Hey there! We’re Tunisia and Judah, and we live in beautiful Kaitaia with our daughter and awesome pets. We’ve been creating a permaculture garden filled with herbs, edible plants, and what most think are just weeds – it’s all about growing our own food and connecting with nature!
We're also passionate about keeping our environment clean, and as Judah is chairperson of Keep Tai Tokerau Beautiful, we lead local clean-up and planting projects to help make our community shine.
At Rosedale Cottage, we’ve got space for you – we offer comfy single beds, a cozy atmosphere, and a chance to be part of something meaningful. Right now, we’re renovating our house and would love some helping hands, whether it’s with DIY projects or getting your hands dirty in the garden!
We’re all about creativity and fun: jamming on musical instruments, digging in the soil, helping out with local environmental projects, and just enjoying the beauty of this place. If you're looking for a chance to connect, grow, and contribute while staying in a peaceful and welcoming spot, come join us!
Can’t wait to meet you and welcome you to Rosedale Cottage!
