Description
I am a single mature female living right on the ocean front and living a quiet yogic lifestyle which means i am self sufficient, vegetarian, respectful of my natural environment and continue to teach yoga classes in my township of Opotiki
Situated on the East Coast of North island NZ.
Living consciously is my aim, and i am willing to share this concept with likeminded people who seek a retreat like experience while offerring some work in return.
Private Yoga classes by arrangement are offerred and i am interested in meeting people of other cultures who value a healthy lifestyle .i prefer short term stays 3 to 7 days where you would be willing to offer 4 hours work per day in exchange for free accommodation and one cooked meal approx midday and self catering breakfast and supper.some meals shared together.
(i request no late hour cooking).
There is a basic set up with Kingsized bed, toaster, fridge and possibly microwave. Own bathroom inside the main house and shared kitchen in main house.
I am conservative in water use and there is limited internet use offerred WI FI> Rubbish disposal is recycling (no collection)
There is space for parking a van or caravan if you have your own sleeping area with you and i could also pick you up from the bus 12 kms from my location if you are travelling by public transport.Types of help and learning opportunities

You would benefit by living in a fresh clean natural place of beauty beside the ocean and encouraged to live a peaceful life by adopting some yogic lifestyle skills if you are interested?
Your cultural values would interest me and you would benefit from the peaceful environment of an uncrowded beach front with walking tracks to town adjacent.Help
I would like help with Mowing a large section of grass . Weeding, sweeping up leaves, window cleaning, wood collection from the beach for fire. wood for winter fire use and stacking. Any small maintenance tasks that one is capable of.
Self catering own food.
Minding my 4 hens if i go away. Some sanding preparation of Deck posts and eaves for painting.
In general just assisting with my own regular household tasks.

Accommodation
Adjacent to my house a shed equipped for casual stays. King sized comfortable bed, fridge, toaster, Kettle, possibly a microwave? your own bathroom in main house and shared kitchen in main house.
ideally Self catering as my own mealtimes may be different from yours?
I would cook approx 1pm main meal to share together after your 4 hours work (flexible arrangement)
Hours of house use for your own cooking are flexible but i retire early so no cooking requested after 7pm.What else ...
Adjacent to this property are walking and cycling track. River and ocean swimming. Fishing spots.
