Description
We are an acitve older couple enjoying our charming house and garden in Waihi. The beautiful Waihi surf beach is a 12 minute drive and we are close to the Karangahake Gorge, Whangamata, The Haurake Rail Trail for cyclists and bush walks. We are one hour from Mt Maunganui and Tauranga. We are wanting some help with the property, e.g. weeding, pruning and painting etc. We have 2 spare rooms and beds. Kate is a healing practitioner and healthy cook and Terry is hands on and tells a good yarn.

We are involved in the community and can introduce guests to local events.. Kate is aware of alternative health and healing events. Travellers would benefit from experiencing life in a small kiwi town within reach of many beautiful natural attractions including the historic town of Thames. There is no public transport unfortunately. Bike hire is available in Waihi. We can take you on an excursion sometimes.
