Description
Tena koe, nau mai, haramai ki Tokomaru Bay, a small, predominately Maori seaside community on the East Coast. We are Jan and Bill who live on a four acre lifestyle block in the peaceful Kaiawha Valley about a two minute drive from the village and the beach.
We have six children and two mokopuna, two of whom live in Gisborne our nearest city, the others are spread out across NZ/World. There is a 4 Square Supermarket, a cafe and a tavern in the village. We have a room with a queen bed in a sleep out, with helpers own separate lounge/kitchenette. Access to washing machine. The bathroom is inside the main house located a few metres away. -

Autres infos...
We are an isolated, rural community, people are laid back and you just have to take us as you find us. Most of our community life revolves around our community and the marae. Jan is a relief teacher at local full immersion kura and Bill works from home developing Te Reo Maori learning resources for our local tribe and teaches Te Reo Maori one day a week. There are opportunities to explore our coastline and beaches. If you have an international licence you may borrow our vehicle, we also have a bicycle. Single people or married couple workawayers are very welcome to stay with us.
