    Description

    We are an active, semi retired couple living on a beautiful 2 hectare property, 20 minutes drive from Tauranga city. Our large garden and avocado and lime orchard is on the inner harbour with peace and quiet and beautiful views. We are on the edge of a local cycleway and can lend 2 bikes for you to explore. We have lots of other fruit trees, a large vegie garden, a few chicken, and a cat. There is always lots to do to keep the place in order (although generally a week at a time is all we can accommodate). Spring is a busy time with pruning and planting so extra help is always welcome - we like to grow a lot of our food & what we do buy is generally wholesome & natural.
    We have travelled extensively and enjoy meeting people from all cultures. Couples, friends, singles ok.
    We are non smokers & so non smokers, non vaping please.
    Thanks
    Nicki and Ant

    We can introduce workawayers to the gardening and orchard practices we employ but always open to learn different approaches used in other countries.
