Our beautiful timber home is nestled amongst giant Puriri trees, hidden up a private driveway.
Our main income from the land is from our organic produce which we sell at our local farmers’ market at nearby Matakana. We have sheep, chickens, cats and a springer spaniel called Mink.
Depending on the time of year, you will be most welcome to wander around the property and see the grapes and olives being pruned or picked. Our main workers are international students who work for 4 hours a day in return for free food and lodging through the WWOOFer scheme.
