  Description

  Come and help us at our little slice of New Zealand paradise… we have moved to the country for a slower pace of life. Our 5ha lifestyle property is very dynamic so we need assistance to help us realise the dream of country living. We have travelled a fair amount and enjoy meeting people of other cultures and sharing our culture. The property has a retreat style feel and we hope to develop it into a place where people can relax and enjoy nature unwind and be freed of the busyness of city life!
