Description
A pretty little 5 acre character lifestyle block 20 minutes from the city of Invercargill or 10 minutes from the lovely town of Winton. Would suit an animal lover as in residence are 3 dogs, 2 cats, 3 goats, 4 pet sheep 11 chooks and two horses. An opportunity to enjoy a quiet rural setting and relax but near enough the city for the "coffee culture"
In the past, on my previous property have hosted Woofers and really enjoyed the experience and have made some great friends along the way.

Happy to take experienced riders out on my spare horse, there are some amazing beaches to ride on and other designated horse trails. Please note there is an 80kg weight limit for this. Opportunity improve horse riding skills, gardening knowledge and perhaps learn a little about DIY. Able to show guests the surrounding area both countryside and city and include in local events if desired. Near enough Fiordland to travel to on days off.

I have recently broken in a small horse, she is perfectly safe but I am a bit big to ride her , looking for someone who is an experienced rider to ride her and put some mileage on her . This will include working in my arena and trips to the beach and forest tracks. She has already been doing this but needs more as I don’t have a regular rider for her 70kg weight limit. Also a bit of help in the garden. I have dogs here so you must be a dog lover.

Sylvia is a very tolerant and kind host, staying with her felt like sharing a flat with a good friend.
