  Beschreibung

  We live on a 26 acres of bush where we help Linden and Richard who own this land care for the bush while also trying to build a more sustainable lifestyle. We are surrounded by the sea, the bush and the rivers so if you want to be in nature this is the place for you. Your work here will be to help us with the veggie garden, both tending to it and making it bigger. We are also planning to create a new hot house to increase our peak growing season. You will learn about native and invasive species and help us care for the bush and do any other general maintenance that needs doing around the place depending on what skills you have.

  Arbeit

  We have a few key projects happening at the moment. Firstly we are growing our veggie growing capacity and making a hot house for longer growing seasons. General help in the garden is also always appreciated. There is endless work to do in the bush, getting rid of invasive species, supporting natives and then maintaining the land for example putting in new steps where needed or fixing up the drive way.

  Unterkunft

  1 bedroom cabin for total privacy. It has a commode in it, all toilets on the land are composting toilets. A shower is available at our place - water supply is rain water only so we have to conserve water as much as possible especially during dry spells. A shared kitchen is just up from the Cabin for you to use whenever you like, this is in Linden and Richards house.

  Having your own transportation is a must here. We are on the coast surrounded by stunning scenery, incredible hikes in to the bush and rivers to swim in. Town is 30 mins down the coast in Thames, and Coromandel town 1 hour up the coast. This is the place to be if you want to immerse yourself in nature. Pods of dolphins and Orca are seen pretty often in the firth, and we have amazing birds including Kiwi on the land.

  Our other animals

  We have a good amount of chickens and our milking cow Bunty. Bunty loves a stoke and a carrot, she is currently dry and we will be getting her pregnant soon so we can start milking her again.

  

  Bessie (10 Jahren)

  Bessie is an Old English Sheepdog, she came over from England with us. She is an old girl now, spends most of her time following us around and tolerating her annoying little sister Lainey. She loves people and will spend all day having cuddles.

  

  Lainey (7 Monaten)

  Lainey is a rather large pup! Still a baby and very excitable and loving. She loves long walks, sitting on the deck and watching out for us. She is a Maremma, so she is naturally not keen on strangers, she quickly warms up to people though so give her a few days and she will be demanding attention.
