Descripción
We are a retired couple living on the Kaipara Harbour in Northland. We have a 6 acre lifestyle property with three cows, 13 sheep, chickens and two dogs. We have been living here 9 years since returning from France where we worked for several years. We have built a new home on this site and we enjoy projects: we grow our own grapes to make wine, we are currently building a glasshouse out of old windows, planting our land, maintaining our gardens and undertaking general maintenance. Our home looks onto the Harbour, great fishing in the area and we are close to the Kauri Museum. Pahi is a great fishing spot. Paparoa village is nearby. We are 40 minutes to Dargaville, 35 to Mangawhai Village and 50 to Whangarei. Accommodation comprises own room, ensuite, internet access (desk). We do require that you have a drivers licence / your own vehicle would be preferred. We like to host two people at a time if at all possible.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
I speak French and would be willing to help with English. This area is rich in history. We both volunteer at the local Kauri Museum - there is a lot to learn about this area. We are most happy to show our visitors around and host them in exchange for light work though we would prefer travellers who have their own transport as there is no public transport available in the area. We are located in a rural/farming area.

We also require help with gardening and general maintenance i.e. waterblasting decks and apply stain, general gardening, help around the farm. Painting of gates and fences.
