Hi Travelers
We are 4km from the historical township of Kerikeri.
I am a retired Naturopath and Osteopath and well traveled myself.
I volunteered in 2 projects in Africa .. It was amazing.
We love the out doors, beaches & diving, gardening, art, refurbishing, music.
We live the dream on a beautiful farmlet in the Bay of Islands.
You have a double room in the new house
There is a fabulous huge swimming pool.
You may borrow a car (petrol your responsibility) and we supply ingredients for basic kiwi breakfast & lunch. The rest is up to you.
You will see our 100% rating for my Manly Beach and Kerikeri hosting over the last 15 years.
We look forward to your help. Tasks are varied and currently I need assistance with creative projects and in refurbishing, cleaning, farm maintenance, building gardens, building, art projects, computer help, organizing me.....etc
We have chickens, and Kat.
We grow organic food and eat healthy and practice a sustainable lifestyle.
There is so much to see and do in Northland that this is a wonderful part of the world to spend any time that you have free. Historical villages, mud pools, Cape Reinga, walking tracks, beaches ........
We can help you avoid the pitfalls of negotiating your way around a new country.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
Barbara.
