Description
Hi we are a family of three, who live on a small lifestyle block in the Wairarapa. We have two kittens, one dog and two sheep, all super friendly.
We live in a rural paradise, with mountain views, wild birds, native trees and beautiful sunsets and sunrises. We live near a Lake, and also a globally recognized not so secret swim spot.
We love to garden, and grow our food spray free. We have planted over 200 trees and love to plant more.
We would love to host international guests as we plan to travel to the UK, Italy and Greece in the next couple of years and we need good travel tips!
Please feel free to contact us.
