Algo mais...
We are an isolated, rural community, people are laid back and you just have to take us as you find us. Most of our community life revolves around the marae. Jan is a teacher at a Kura Kaupapa Maori three days a week and Bill works from home developing Te Reo Maori learning resources for our local tribe and teaches Te Reo Maori one day a week. There are opportunities to explore our coastline and beaches. If you have an international licence you may borrow our vehicle, we also have a bicycle. We don't drink alcohol or smoke at our home. Single people or married couple workawayers are very welcome to stay with us.
