  Descripción

  We live rurally on 5acre block in the foothills of Mt Pirongia in Te Pahu. We are in our 60’s and have projects like firewood, fencing, gardening, tree planting, pruning, house washing, gutter cleaning, animal care and housesitting. We have 2 horses, 2 cows, chickens, a dog and a cat. Te Pahu is a great rural community, lots of hiking, walking and mountain biking trails in area, 30 mins to Raglan, Hamilton, Cambridge, Otorohanga. We both still work. We spent 10 years travelling in our 20's to 30's and love the sharing of different cultures and would like to engage with international people again to share our wonderful home and culture in New Zealand.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We have a thriving community with pilates, brewing club, preschool, school, squash club, fitness training, walking trails etc. it would be lovely to share our wonderful community with overseas travelers. We would love to share the beautiful scenery and way of life we have in NZ. We travelled ourselves for 10 years and valued the opportunity to meet people in their communities to share lives and culture. Happy to share what it is like to live on a lifestyle block in New Zealand. We love the adventure of travel and meeting people from overseas and have hosted backpackers from Brazil, Canada, UK etc.

  Algo más...

  There is no public transport in the area, and we are 35 kms from Hamilton, 30km from Te Awamutu so you will need your own transport. We get up early 6am and go to bed around 9:30am, we work Monday to Friday and I ride my horse a lot and Graeme plays golf. We are non smokers so no smoking, and keep your room tidy and clean, and some times of the year we have to watch water use as we have our own water tanks to collect rain water for use.
