Description
I have a long family history with this historic Coromandel property and grounds and enjoy working on it to preserve its natural beauty.
My same sex partner and I are keen to meet travellers/people who are genuinely respectful of diversity.
We both enjoy a healthy lifestyle and the benefits of this beautiful peaceful environment.
Coromandel Peninsula is a beautiful location with lots of coastline, swimming opportunity and tramping options.
The Coromandel town itself is small (pop 1000) with a well supplied supermarket, chemist, doctor, cafes etc.
It is home to a small artist community.

I have a broad knowledge of the Coromandel peninsula with plenty of recommendations about the sights that are worthwhile seeing.
Help
There are a range of jobs; weeding, wood chopping, mulching, planting, raking, composting, general garden jobs.
