  Description

  We live on a 1 acre lifestyle block 15 minutes from New Plymouth with both panoramic mountain and sea views, located next to the Mt Taranaki & Egmont National Park. we are Gary and Deb, we have four adult children (all flown the coop) and 7 beautiful grandchildren. Our 3 daughters live in Taranaki, our son lives in Wellington. We live with our 4 friendly companion dogs who love visitors and one shy cat. Deb (me) loves all things feathered and hatches and rears a variety of heritage chickens
  We are also paricipants in the annual Taranaki Sustainable Garden trail
  We live 14km from New Plymouth city so your own transport is preferable to enable you to discover Taranaki.
  However I do go to town a couple days per week, so can drop off and pick up. Otherwise there is hitch hiking
