    Description

    Hello, we are a little family that loves living in Oakura, Taranaki. My kids are 7 and 10 and love being outdoors. I am finishing renovating our home and garden and would love to have some help and can offer someone (or a couple) travelling a chance to live near the beach in a small town in NZ. I have travelled and lived around the world and love meeting people from different places.
