Description
My house is situated 700m from the waters edge of Purri Bay on 4.8 hectares of bush. There is beautiful stream on the property ,leading to 2 beautiful waterfalls. We should never have a water problem
The Elephant Art Gallery and The Sunken Rock Sailing Club are just down by the water as well
Great Barrier Islanders are the only community in New Zealand where each individual house is powered independently with their own alternative power system
We are a family of 4
Steve ,Elliott 15 , Jasmine, 12 and Selina, 10
Elliott and Jasmine are now going to boarding school in Auckland
My ex wife and I share custody of Selina week on week off.
I haven’t been a Workaway host for over 3 years, so just starting again on a new property 😎
