  Descrição

  We think we live in paradise tucked away close to Milnthorpe Park, Golden Bay and we'd love to share this space with others that appreciate organic gardens, nature and simple healthy living.
  
  We, that's Yogi the cat, a few chooks and a lovely rooster, three ducks, and Gerard and Patricia.
  
  We're in our mid 50s and are very used to people staying with us having been part of Wwoof and HelpX for many years.
  
  Our large property is less than 5 minutes drive from Collingwood and Milnthorpe beach/park, 20 minutes to Takaka, half an hour to the Heaphy Track and 50 minutes to the Abel Tasman Park. We look out towards north-west and have the most amazing sunsets! See for yourself.
  
  The property is not certified organic but we adhere to organic principles. We also own a local Organic Shop which keeps us busy hence a need for help on the property.
  
  There's a lot happening on our land, vegetables gardens, a berry cage, a wonderful glasshouse and countless trees of various species, both for food and firewood.
  
  The buildings are light earth in construction (straw/clay) and all water on the property is gravity rain fed. The glasshouse has solar hot water (two wonderful bath tubs) and a composting toilet.

  Acomodação

  We can offer you your own very comfortable fully equipt separate accommodation with kitchen and bathroom. This is a separate building close to the main building. It is of "light earth" construction (mud/straw) which makes for a quite unique experience for guests. There are two bedrooms to choose from, either a main room with double bed and ensuite or a connecting bedroom with two separate king single beds and lounge area. A shared country kitchen is connected to these two rooms. It is also used from time to time by the hosts for processing food.
  
  We can supply you with food (mostly organic) for making your own meals but enjoy also having some shared evening meals depending on the time of the year and our work load at that time.

  Algo mais...

  In your free time there are many attractions and walks/hikes/swimming spots to explore. As Golden Bay is renown as a tourist destination demand for accommodation is at a premium for much of the year. At our property the beautiful Golden Bay is at your doorstep to explore these places.
  
  We chose to live sustainably and in a way that is "easy on the planet". We also choose to eat well (clean), and are non-smokers. We would like to hope that you have an appreciation for similar values.
