  Descripción

  Hi there, we are a 3 generation Kiwi/German family living in the beautiful Coromandel near the town of Thames. We fell in love with our home and it's 5 acre block of land in late 2016 and have been very busy renovating it since we moved in. We have our own chickens , bees and are planting a new orchard and vegetable gardens, we love having our own honey , fresh eggs and home grown food. We still have a lot of landscaping and planting to do, plus our home renovations are not finished.
  Siegfried is a semi retired Chef and home handyman who moved here from Germany in 2016 and can cook delicious food.
  Carmel is a trained and experienced English teacher who taught Business and Technical English in Germany until being diagnosed with Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, which is the reason we "retired " to a peaceful life in the Coromandel .
  Our daughter Bella is 21 and at university in Auckland , so is only home during the holidays .
  We live with Carmel's father , who is a retired Architectural Designer, still working on projects at home .
  We have been hosts for some years now, so we have a lot of experience hosting international travelers and sharing our home. We have travelled and lived in several countries so understand the feeling of being in a new country far away from "home"

  We live in a magical valley with bushwalks and waterfalls , but still very close to town with supermarket, cafès and bars. We are close to the Hauraki Rail Trail Cycle Way, the Pinnacles Hiking Trail and the stunning Thames to Coromandel Coast Road.
