Description
Hi! We have a 5ha lifestyle block where the living is pretty easy.
Within 30 mins of us you can get to mountains, rivers, walks, and the coast. You will need your own transport to come stay with us.
We are always keen to have people come to stay in return for whatever needs doing on our farmlet. It might be harvesting hazelnuts, weeding, planting, or pruning olive trees depending on the time of the year.
There are two of us here, with one cat, and some pet alpacas.
We promise to feed you well, give you a good night's sleep, and supply wifi.
We have a spa pool, kayaks, and bikes you can use. We enjoy nature, good food, and one of us, in particular, loves board games. :)
Get in touch if you want to come and stay in one of the most beautiful parts of New Zealand.
