  Description

  Creative Marketing, Video Editing & Web Support by Lake Rotorua
  About the Space & Us
  
  We are a multi-cultural family living in New Zealand. We live between our two properties in Auckland and Rotorua
  Welcome to our peaceful home in Ngongotahā, Rotorua. If you’re looking for a grounded, tranquil base surrounded by nature where you can focus your creative skills and explore the outdoor beauty of New Zealand, this is the place.
  I run an empowerment coaching and personal development brand, creating content around wellness, mindset, and living intentionally. You’ll be staying at our quiet property where my brother lives in a dwelling at the back, he is an avid outdoorsman who loves mountain biking, hiking, and fishing, and knows the best local spots. I spend time between locations and stay at the property occasionally, so for much of the time, you will have the main house to yourself with my brother nearby.
