    Description

    Hi Travelers
    We are 4km from the historical township of Kerikeri.
    I am a retired Naturopath and Osteopath and well traveled myself.
    I volunteered in 2 projects in Africa .. It was amazing.
    We love the out doors, beaches & diving, gardening, art, refurbishing, music.
    We live the dream on a beautiful farmlet in the Bay of Islands.
    You have a double room in the new house
    There is a fabulous huge swimming pool.
    You may borrow a car (petrol your responsibility) and we supply ingredients for basic kiwi breakfast & lunch. The rest is up to you.

    You will see our 100% rating for my Manly Beach and Kerikeri hosting over the last 15 years.
    We look forward to your help. Tasks are varied and currently I need assistance with creative projects and in refurbishing, cleaning, farm maintenance, building gardens, building, art projects, computer help, organizing me.....etc
    We have chickens, and Kat.
    We grow organic food and eat healthy and practice a sustainable lifestyle.

    There is so much to see and do in Northland that this is a wonderful part of the world to spend any time that you have free. Historical villages, mud pools, Cape Reinga, walking tracks, beaches ........

    We can help you avoid the pitfalls of negotiating your way around a new country.
    We look forward to hearing from you.
    Best wishes
    Barbara.

    What else ...

    The Bay of Islands is Famous for its history and adventure possibilities. It is a $60 bus ride from central Auckland
    In Ak there is a good bus service to surrounding area and express buses from Auckland City Airport to Kerikeri.
    If you look in advance sometimes there are very cheap airfares direct from Auckland airport to the Bay of Islands airport
    We are 20 mins from stunning beaches, hot mud pools, hiking tracks and Cape Rienga where 2 oceans meet is a a day trip away. The west coast with its black sand & giant dunes are also not to be missed
