    Descrição

    Welcome workawayer's! We are the custodians of a magical and enchanted forest located in the subtropical climate of Northland.

    On this 10 acre paradise we are working together to regenerate and protect our native species, whilst intergrating a biodiverse food forest, flower gardens and resort vibes. Using organic practices we hope to create a space that is not only holistic for the land and it's creatures but facilitate a space to share skills and create together.

    This is our garden of eden, here is a space to build, to burn, to play, to share and to inspire.

    Located just eight minutes drive from Kerikeri and five to Waipapa, it offers both convenience and privacy. The local town has everything we need, in summer the neighbouring towns of Russel and Paihia become a great place to grab an evening drink and to explore. 

    The property consists of a community of houses, bungalows, a gym, ablution block and a fully functional workshop.

    Our workaway accommodation is currently a self contained, open plan school house that captures all the morning light. Here you have the ability to cater to your own meals when you feel like it, or join us in the barn house for communal eating.
    It has a queen bed in the bedroom along with a couch in the lounge that can be folded out.

    The property is a rotating door of friends and family staying throughout the week. We love to host and to share this incredible space.

    By way of introduction my name is Matt, Kiwi born but a nomad at heart. I returned to New Zealand four years ago after a life abroad to begin this project together with my family and friends. Still working overseas for large chunks of the year, when I do make it home I love to throw myself into creative projects.

    Having inderpendent workawayer's here allows me to both focus on my ongoing projects whilst exploring collaboration, skill exchange and making life long friendships.

    Also hosting is my wife Erika, when she's not out picking the flowers or snuggling ducklings you will find her working some magic in her art studio. Being a lover of the Sun and Sea her passion for nature, culture and travel expresses itself through her incredible and vibrant creations.

    We would love to host any community focused, friendly travellers, artisans and grafters

    Work away update


    2023 Spring Summer and beyond. After a winter of hard work abroad, many day dreams and some fairly loose planning we are looking to kick off once again. Opening our doors to the incredible work awayers from around the globe. To share our way of life, our passions and our space with you. This summer our projects focus in around garden development and maintance. We will be experimenting in our first DIY liner pond with a bio filtration system, cascades and aqua garden. We work with rocks alot from the land, using them to shape raised beds, pathways and accent the land. Instalation of a sculpture or two. Lots of sheet mulching which we use to battle weeds and improve soil. We will be building a steel deck, laying a Beautiful paradise stone patio inlcusive of rock mandalas and mosiacs. We collaborate with amazing people so there is always loads to learn in any peojects you are interested in. Along the way there will be lots of beer in our dusty duck saloon.

    We will continue with maintance on our flower and food gardens . We do all this utilizing permaculture practices (we love to teach and to learn). It's not all work, We also love to enjoy the summer and will drop tools to explore beaches, hit festivals or host friends and family for evenings spent dancing under the stars. Keeping as busy as we do ideally you will be independent and easygoing. We appreciate the flexibility, over summer it can get to hot in the midday sun so we often are out in the mornings/evenings working on projects then enjoying our own private waterhole through the heat of the day.

    We are always looking for new ideas and fresh perspectives. Part of the reason we travel is to be inspired, to learn and grow.

    We are in the early stages of building a food forrest so those with knowledge in permaculture, sustainability, community design and development are encouraged to join us.

    The land lends itself to the Artists, the passionate, culinary wizards and creative minds. Traveling can be limiting, not having access to a studio or gear, we love to support your art forms and you will find everything you need in this space to create.

    Acomodação

    The school house is exactly that, it was an old classroom moved to the land a decade ago. It's warm wooden floors and big glass bifolding doors open up to a beautiful lawn filled with ducks, quails and the call of the kiwi at night. It's as private as you get whilst remaining connected to our family here on the land. Each building has roughly 100m between the dwellings and planted up with beautiful subtropical gardens.

    The school house has a small bathroom, bedroom and an open plan kitchen and living space. There is stable Wifi throughout all buildings.

    It has a heat pump so you will never be cold and in the summer you can open up all the bifolding doors to enjoy that real alfresco feeling. Just watch out for the cute duckling scam.

    We have large vege gardens, ample fruit trees and year round harvests to try and enjoy as you explore through the magic of our land.

    We also have a new nicely equipped gym for those who love to sweat it out, a beautiful yoga deck nestled in the tree tops and of course plenty of spots throughout the gardens you can escape to and chillax.

  • Algo mais...

    Algo mais...

    Kerikeri is rather quiet over winter, lucky winter doesn't last more then a few months up here in Northland.
    We love to have fun and connect with the greater community, sometimes its over some hard work but its always rewarded with some kind of adventure. We are burners, with a love for the arts and all things eccentric. It's not uncommon to find us working on a flame thrower or death defying rope swing.
    If you love hiking, beach combing and the outdoors there's plenty of places to discover both on and off the property in the far north. Public transport is non existent up here so to make the most of the area its best to have your own vehicle.
