Descrição
I am a well-traveled, open-minded, older woman on 16 hectares of land in native bush. I am an experienced medical herbalist, dedicated environmentalist, passionate about the food we eat and the environment we all share. This is permaculture property close to Sandy Bay along the Tutukaka coast of Northland, New Zealand. My home is nestled in the Bush, and at present rented out to two beautiful women.
You will be staying in accommodation away from the house where meals and are included for a fair exchange. We are easy-going, open-minded and prefer Organic fresh food... enjoy your day...
I am also looking for workaway that need a winter home for 2 or 3 months, July, August, September while I'm away. I will still supply most of your food... but of course reduced working hours can be off set discussed.

Acomodação
Accommodation self contained one-floor open studio set apart from the main house with a shower and fireplace inside, a compost toilet (outhouse) nearby, with views of the ocean!
This is a large open space and shared with myself until 1st November . We will not be staying in the house.
You will be surrounded by Bush with amazing views of the Milky Way, and views of the Pacific. We now have wifi so can connect you up.
Your own car is an advantage, as there is no public transportation serving this area.
I will take my workaway down the beach and into town if the do not have vehicle.
Algo mais...
There is plenty to do and see around this gorgeous coast declared by Jacques Cousteau as one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. We spend afternoons walking, swimming, and exploring the many bays along the coast. The bush is lush and beautiful. The night sky is free from light pollution and the Milky Way is fully visible. There are always games, music, movies and great food. Bring your imagination and "playtime" will surely follow.

Maddi was a great work-away and person, she was never afraid to do anything, knew how to work and look after garden tools, she even diagnosed the weed wacker problem. So delightful to have around, full of energy and go. No wonder she is a US firefighter. She was a great help on the land and I'd have her back any day... Safe travels Maddi

I had a great experience at Shushila's beautiful hilltop paradise. She went out of her way to make my stay enjoyable and is very flexible and considerate.

I can't wait to visit… read more

Janice was a delight to have come stay with us...
She shows initiative and attention to detail. Her main project was to frame and line the interior 3 walls of a eating area by a cabin. She had some guidance and carried out instructions without supervision. We wish her well in all her adventures back in Switzerland.

Living with Shushila was an amazing experience that was both relaxing and exciting at the same time. While the views over the ocean and incredible surrounding areas allow for total relaxation, she keeps your busy with plenty of interesting and unique tasks catered to your interests that you will thoroughly enjoy. Incredible experience overall!
