Hi,
My names Liz and I'm turning my 5.4 hectare block into my own piece of paradise.
I enjoy having younger people around as I used to teach organics and permaculture at Polytechnic.
Its on a mangrove estuary about 30 minutes from Kerikeri town and an easy walk to historic Marsden Cross.
I go into town once or twice a week so you're welcome to come too.
Swimming, tramping, kayaking, fishing and pick your own oysters.
Friendly cows, hens and a wee Shih Tzu dog.
Ive two kayaks so friends can go out together

You can choose from full board, paid work and accommodation or whatever suits you best.
If you like your own space you can stay in the caravan or in the main house with me.
This area is where Europeans first arrived do there's lots of historic sites, good walks.
Most towns are quite small but fun to explore in a day or two off.
