    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Aaron is originally from Ireland and loves a bit of banter, Kate is Aussie/Kiwi and loves veggie gardening. Tom is 2.5yrs and it would be great to see him pick up on different cultures.

    What we have to offer:
    We are a pretty close knit family who have made friends with a lot of the local community, We love the NZ bush and would love bringing people from other parts of the world around it, as its pretty unique. Summer is always a great time in the Wairarapa, there are heaps of rivers to swim in, mountains to climb and beaches to visit. Aaron is a Farrier by trade and works on a lot of rural areas that your average tourist wouldn't be able to access, if someone wanted to improve their horse handling skills, they are more than welcome to come along for a spin, as well as a full operational forge and so knife making etc is easily accessible. Culturally be love a bit of banter "craic" in Irish, both Aaron and Kate have a great sense of humor and love people who are that way inclined.
