Description
Hi there we are an extended Whanau of 9 living on 3 different areas on the land.
I'm Tania the Mum and live in the Whare nui with our 4 teenagers / young adults Dyvani-Lee, Zedekiah, River lyn and Sequoia,Jeremy is the Dad and he and his dog Frank live in our housetruck/ cottage and Joelle is the Aunty my sister who lives with her partner and his dad on her section in 3 pods 2shacks and a hobbit hole .
We all have things and builds and general upkeep that we could do with extra hands however ATM I have a
NEW PROJECT starting NOVEMBER.. I'm about to embark on a small project up in mummy land *Dreamsite a bottle and adobe brick build starting small a wall and floor in a wharekai( kitchenarea) then extending to a bathroom area then finally a larger room studio .
So most of the helper focus will be on that however with our lifestyle we also need a little help in.other areas mainly garden and cooking of the shared evening meals..
We need help in many areas building.gardens.weed and scrub clearing.housework..We have visions of a sustainable family block that we can preserve and reserve for our future generations.We have an 80acre block of forest with a few small clearings .We have horses chickens ducks birds bunnies cats dogs and 4freerange teenagers.We live up in the hills so the views are spectacular.
If your wanting to get away and immerse your selves in a alternative life come stay with us.There's always plenty to do.
We are remote some people say so remote we live on the moon.We like helpers that are interested in an alternative sustainable life that can work well with us or be left to complete tasks on their own in a forward thinking self motivated manner.Building living and with many projects happening at once as well as freerange typical teens and animals can be messy please come to us with open unjudgementle minds remembering 'out of caos rises beaty.
Your accommodation can be in my 6mtr bell tent up on site .Back to basics but comfortable.Composting bucket toilet and solar heated shower all the camping stove fire table etc very much back to basics glamping ,or you can sleep in your van or own tent.The main house has a kitchen and bathroom and most of the evening meals will be there.
Hope this all sounds good.
Arohanui Tania Jeremy and the freerange4.
we hope to meet the perfect amazing souls soon.
