  Descrição

  We are Maithuna forest, an ecological off grid campground and a permaculture food forest.We a family with two boys, nearly 2 & 4years old. We’re on a big piece of land that we became kaitiaki (guardians) of nearly 6 years ago. We are co-creating a camp gound and organic permaculture food forest 🌳 community, and helping the native bush to return. There's always a lot to do in the gardens, building earthen buildings, looking after our campers and guests and much more... our land is situated in a beautiful and quiet valley, only 5 min drive from town. We like to invest energy into great non violent communication and creating great experiences for us all, and we believe that to achieve that it requires time, which is why we request a minimum one-month commitment (unless by specific arrangement) and individuales who are open and able to communicate well.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We have a lot of knowledge of permaculture we're attempting to put into practice, & prefer to teach constantly about plant propagation and organic food production, not just give you physical tasks ! My partner Rama speaks Hebrew, and I am a Hatha Yoga (& Tantra Massage) teacher currently teaching a Tuesday evening Yoga class during school terms, and privately.

  Ajuda

  Childcare for our 2 young boys (9 months & 3 years) is our current priority. Gardening help would be great, including managing our food forest 🌳 plantings, and releasing native seedlings from grass overgrowth. We also have chickens, Indian Runner ducks, Muscovy geese, Wiltshire sheep the former need attention up to twice a day). We would love someone who enjoys tidying to sort out our storage/workshop container so everything is really accessible. Those with building skills or other trade experience are always welcome. We are currently engaging professionals to advance our earth-brick house project, and we are enjoying undertaking some of the preparatory steps eg making the low density adobe bricks, which is labour intensive but suitable for people without prior experience to also learn about.

  Algo mais...

  This is a major tourist hub, especially for those doing the ‘Te Araroa’ North to South national walkway (we are Trail Angels offering free/koha camping to walkers & cyclists 🚴); and the Tongariro Crossing & the ski ⛷️ field at Whakapapa are one hour away, as are the hot pools at Tokaanu (edge of Lake Taupō). Te Araroa and the starting point for the Whanganui canoe 🛶 trip is one km from us at the start of our road. Taumarunui is also the start of the scenic Forgotten World Highway to Taranaki.

  We have good 4G coverage on Skinny or Spark, Vodafone/One is useless & generally not so good for rural areas. More significantly we also have Starlink, & a separate workspace could be set up close to the router if required (completely quiet working would be a condition if this).

  Espaço para estacionar campervans

  This is extremely compatible with our facilities, we have an outdoor gas hot shower tent & composting toilets, & could do a 240v power extension from our off-grid solar.
