Description
We are a retired couple living on the Kaipara Harbour in Northland. We have a 6 acre lifestyle property with four cows, six sheep, chickens and two dogs. We have been living here 7 years since returning from France where we worked for several years. We built a new home on this site and we enjoy projects: we are growing our own grapes to make wine, we are currently building a glasshouse out of old windows, planting our land, cultivating and building new vegetable gardens and undertaking general maintenance. Outlook onto the Harbour, great fishing and close to the Kauri Museum, Pahi is a great fishing spot. Paparoa village nearby. We are 40 minutes to Dargaville, 35 to Mangawhai Village and 50 to Whangarei. Accommodation comprises own room, ensuite, internet access (desk). We do require that you have a drivers licence / your own vehicle would be preferred.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
I speak French and would be willing to help with English. This area is rich in history. We both volunteer at the local Kauri Museum - there is a lot to learn about this area. We are most happy to show our visitors around and host them in exchange for light work though we would prefer travellers who have their own transport as there is no public transport available in the area. We are located in a rural/farming area.
