Description
Hi we are a mum and daughter duo, on 3 acres of land tucked into the bush on the Tutukaka coast.
Our family consists of a Naturopath / medical herbalist and trained yoga teacher , 2 beautiful children 14 and 21 (21 yr old has now flown the nest), 2 snuggly cats & , a cav king charles spaniel Saphie, and Rough collie Fraizer, 2 pet sheep Nellie and Wookie :-D
We have a 3 bedroom home, and a couple of cabins. Always work to be done maintaining the property and the house.
An 8 metre diameter Tipi is yet to be erected on the land, from which Yoga and workshops will eventually be taught!
We are pretty relaxed, like to laugh so workawayers with sense of humors is a must!!!
We eat some vegetarian meals but eat meat and dairy, happy for vegetarians and vegans to create their own meals.

You get to stay on the beautiful Tutukaka Coast and surround yourself in native bush listening to birdsong and the occasional call of the kiwi.
How to cohabitate in a relaxed & friendly typical new zealand lifestyle block environment!!
Help
There is much to be done here, at the moment, helping sort and tidy, mowing, weed eating, some painting and building bits and pieces and if nothing else there is always house work, to be done. 🤩
Great to text or ring if possible as seem to sometimes miss emails.
