Description
We are a christian non smoking family on a secluded lifestyle property with established trees and "English gardens". 1 acre Gardens + 1 acre Paddocks. We have a large pool, spa pool, gym and grass tennis court(now a soccer pitch). We have organic fruit trees and chickens. Wild quail reside on the property as well as native Tui and sometimes pheasants. We require garden work and support in the home with cleaning and cooking. We live 5 mins from Hamilton+Airport and 2 mins from river. We have bikes/kayaks for use. Check out our feedback on Wwoofing site under Pencarrow Rose in Tamahere, Hamilton.
We are very central to many places such as Hobbiton, Raglan, Waitomo and Tauranga. Free unlimited WIFI and we provide all meals.
