Descripción
Kia ora! We are a Te Reo Māori speaking family of 4 and are just beginning an epic project to establish ourselves and restore a beautiful 38acre block just out of Raglan. We're situated in Te Uku, 10 min drive to the beautiful and funky surfing town of Raglan. Our vision is to convert a dairy farm into an organic oasis. We have a yurt, a tiny house and a tiny house that’s under construction plus a cabin. The cabin sleep out is our main accomodation option at the moment and we welcome workawayers travelling in vans to park up here too. My partner Madelin and I have set up a local charitable trust that offers rites of passage for teenagers in the community and train mentors and facilitators from around the country. We're looking for someone to stay with us and help in the māra kai (garden) and to support around the home with maintenance and building projects and on the land as well as with the Children. We'd love to hear from you, Mauri Ora! Madelin, Tiaki, Tāwhai and Māhina

Alex and Tammy are a beautiful couple and we’re an absolute pleasure to host. They were super motivated and up for any challenge we threw at the them. They were relaxed and easy going, supporting us in any way they could - we couldn’t have asked for better support during a huge transition period for our family. Thank you so much Alex and Tammy -… read more

Our time with Tiaki, Madelin, and their two children was absolutely amazing. I visited with my partner, Mitchell, from Hawai‘i. We felt like we were at home right away and learned so much from their lifestyle and way of being. We had fresh vegetables from their beautiful garden, lots of coconut yogurt, and genuine conversation over shared meals.… read more

I had a beautiful experience with Tiaki, Madeline, Tāwhai, and Māhina. We had great conversations and I really enjoyed sharing perspectives and ideas. Tāwhai was full of energy and always wanting a playmate, but would respect my space when I asked him to. Māhina could be a handful as with any two year old, but she was a joy to be around,… read more

The family is just wonderful! I felt so welcomed and comfortable in their home and they live on a beautiful land. Most of the time, I spend time with their little, cute daughter Mahina or cleaned the place a little bit and the hours never really felt like work.

I had a productive almost 2 week stay with this family, and very much enjoyed my time here!! The off-grid lifestyle was a nice change of pace, and my accommodation was comfortable. I mostly spent my working hours running the chainsaw alongside Tiaki (and their pup Zoe) removing gorse and cutting up firewood. I appreciated that I was provided with… read more

Four weeks with those lovely people, I can't believe how fast the time went by! I felt such a warm and open welcome into their family, tiny house, and beautiful piece of land!
