  Descripción

  Hey folks! We are a mother (Andrea), daughter (Niki) and baby (Noah) living here in the beautiful Bay of Plenty.
  
  The lifestyle block we inhabit is truly magic with two horses, chickens, fruit trees and a very special energy to say the least.
  
  We’re really keen to up our gardening game so we can start being more self sufficient and make better use of this land we cherish. There’s also general maintenance we need assistance with so having some handyman/woman know how is pretty crucial.
  
  Its also a dream to start putting up some accommodation options around the property so any ideas of knowledge would be awesome. We have just acquired a retro caravan that needs some renovation so that is another project.
  
  All in all, there is never a dull moment around here as we relish in the simple pleasures and enjoy all life has to offer.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  This is a pretty Kiwiana kind of place with Taika Waititis “Boy” being filmed just up the coast.
  
  There are loads of opportunities to learn about Māori culture in the area and the general way of life for people living in New Zealand.
  
  We ourselves are pretty diverse having travelled all over the world but living here the past 28 years. Mum speaks German/Iranian as well as English so we aren’t your “average kiwis” but a diverse mix of a few things.
  
  We love going to our favourite river spots or camping up the coast where crowds are slim but beauty is abundant.
