Description
Jono and Nicky live in a large property on 3 hectares of beautiful rural land, close to Tauranga city (20mins) and Mount Maunganui (35mins). Ōmokoroa is our local for cafes and the beach.
We are a fun family with 2 lively children ages 7 and 4 years old,. We are still setting up our homestead and currently have 4 lambs, 2 goats, chickens and a cat.
The property enjoys stunning views of the islands and the blue ocean beyond the Mount where you can watch the cruise ships coming and going.
We have a lovely outdoor setting with walks, a crystal clear stream with swimming hole, in the native bush. The property also has a Sauna, a Spa pool, and a great movie room. There are lots of beautiful spots to explore in the local area.
We'd love to hear from you!

Help
We are looking for some help to manage the land and set up various projects. The following skills would be useful:
* Ability to help with fruit tree planting (wanting to plant out a small orchard),
* Various fencing projects, or can help with weeding/mulching
*We also have some indoor renovations coming up, so skills are a bonus but anyone willing and able to help with whatever the current task is and would like to connect with a kiwi family then please make contact with us.
