Details
Description
We are a busy young family with 2 children and 2 dogs. We run a tree-work business from the yard adjacent to our property. We need help to maintain and develop our 18 acre property. We grow lots of produce and are looking to grow our little farm which so far has started with 2 sheep.
We are only 3 kilometers from the center of Kerikeri.

Accommodation
The accommodation is separate from the house and is inside one of the big sheds in the yard which used to be a historic steam mill. The bedroom has a kitchenette, and the common area includes a tv lounge, bathroom, laundry, indoor and outdoor kitchens, garden bar and wifi.
What else ...
We are just down the road from town in one direction, and the renown Waitangi Forest Mountain Bike tracks in the other. Close proximity to all the wonders the Bay of Islands has to offer. We go fishing on our boat regularily, so if seeing the BOI from the water appeals to you, we can most likely take you out on the boat during your stay
