We would love to work on our french as the father speaks a little bit and the kids have taken some in school.Accommodation
We have a private spare room with a queen size bed in our home for guests. We have all the bedding needed.
We eat a big lunch together as a family and everyone helps themselves to breakfast and dinner. We have a large pantry and a well stocked freezer, garden, and plenty of fish in the ocean.What else ...
We have kayaks, fishing and snorkel gear at the house. We live on a small island with beautiful views and beaches. There is plenty to do in your spare time. We also go into Great Barrier Island a couple times a week which make for great day trips.
Because we live on an island, you'll need to travel to Great Barrier Island. You can come by ferry or plane. From there we can boat you to and from our place. It's a real adventure out here!A little more information
