Description
HI
Welcome to the Bay of Plenty. I live in a beautiful hidden valley looking out on Lake Rotoehu. We area surrounded by Lakes and Bush. At night you will hear Kiwis and wake up to the "NZ dawn chorus" of birds. In the evening you will enjoy spectacular sunsets from the deck. I love living here and I am sure you will too. This is an amazing location and the place has a great vibe. There is lots to see and do - in addition to the 3 local lakers m there are great bush walks, Maori and early settler history, shower under a waterfall, or enjoy the large natural hot pools, You will get the chance to be immersed and experience life in a very small remote NZ village.
I love paddle boarding swimming and exploring the local bush.
I would love to have people stay with real building, woodworking or tiling skills to help out on specific projects like building a deck. But if you don't have those skills and know how to work don't hesitate to reach out, I am looking for practical and enthusiastic people.
Ideally stay for a week or a bit longer, I offer all meals and your own cabin.
There are 2 separate Cabins so you have your own space and you will get to hang out with myself and Tui. A small friendly NON-biting westie. We have two cabins with queen beds and can two couples or two singles if you are travelling in a group.
