Description
I am a retired active farm host, living at Ohiwa, near Opotiki.
I am an active environmentalist, involved in lots of local projects, including pest control, rare coastal plant collections, food forest, Repair Cafe, and lots of other stuff.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I have had lots of experience with organic gardening and eco- projects' Workawayers will have to have a sense of fun and love of music. My house overlooks the Ohiwa Harbour which is a playground for boating, kayaking and fishing

Every now and again I would like to host 1 or 2 travelers who could help me do small repair, maintenance, gardening, or the occassional environmental project. Min 3 nights Max 1 week.

Accommodation
Your accomodation is a cute self contained bach (ie a caravan with lean-to) which is separate from the main house with a private balcony and kitchenette. Bathroom and shower in detached building next to bach. Breakfast could be in the bach (food supplied) and all other meals eaten together.
What else ...
Enjoy the wonderful views, spa (in warmer months), peace and quiet, beach, fishing, kayaking around the harbor, biking, or walks on the beach.
I have bikes and kayaks, good trails and parks nearby, 1 km from the beach, 15 kms to Opotiki, 35 km to Whakatane
