  • Description

    Description

    We have a 1 hectare Lifestyle Block 3km from State Highway 2 at Pahoia, close to Omokoroa and Tauranga. We are semi retired, enjoying the good life with 4 sheep, 3 cats , 2 goats and 20 chickens. We are propagating and growing a range of interesting crops and in the process of building a small greenhouse to process those. We are a non profit service for travellers.
    Living close to the beach, beautiful walking and cycling tracks is part of our day to day life in the Bay of Plenty.
    We enjoy chatting about life, sharing experiences and the world around us.
