Alojamiento
Helpers will have a large double bedroom
Very relaxing home in a peaceful, remote area with a rural view down a long valley. Basic kitchen needs, such as dishes and dinner preparation if needed. I don't provide food to snack on all day between meals. There is no shop here; you will need to bring your own snacks. Bedroom to be left cleaned ready for the next guest. -
Algo más...
It is a two-hour drive to Cape Reinga in the far north for a nice day trip, about a three-hour drive to Waipoua Forest and the giant Kauri tree further down the West Coast, and an hour to Ngawha Springs' healing thermal hot pools.
There is no public transport available in the area. It is a good central point for day travel and sightseeing. -

I had a fantastic time with Mary and the community there. I learned so much - from Māori culture to the endocannabinoid system in the body - while feeling welcomed from day one. All of the meals were simple, delicious, and I’m definitely taking some recipes home!

I can highly recommend Marion. She made some putty from sand and clay to fill gaps in two timber walls in my lounge. Then varnished the walls over a few days until she was happy with the result. It looks very professional. Her eye for detail and care is evident in the final result. She helped in all different areas of my place. I am very thankful

I had a great week at Mary's house. Mary is a very funny person and always has good stories to tell. Every evening you are treated to a delicious meal and she knows how to reward you if she has enjoyed your work. The setting is incredible, a 360° view of nature, mountains and land. Thank you Mary for this week of sharing and exchange.
