- Introduction Describe your property and the projects you need help with. The character limit helps it to fit on mobile devices and the printed book. /2000
- We live on a small rural property near the sea and native bush, with our kids, pets, and chickens.
We have lots of fruit trees and a vege garden, and we are also planting and growing native trees and medicinal herbs, particularly native Maori herbs.
Our property has a biological septic system, beautiful bore water, and there is low cellphone reception on our street, so while you can get online (mostly with 3G), it's a long way from any cell towers!We live near the sea and have a small tidal flat beach at the end of our little street (a short walk). Just a few minutes down the road are beautiful hot springs pools to soak in (with no chemicals added), and also a magical waterfall with swimming holes to cool off in summer. There are plenty of native bush walks and hill/mountain climbs in the close vicinity. And we are a 10-20 minute drive from some of the most beautiful beaches in NZ: Papamoa beach and the legendary and magnificent Mount Maunganui, with it's famous surf beach. We are located on the outskirts of Tauranga city, just a 15 minute drive away from cafes, restaurants, and shopping centres.
If you want to travel a little further, we are a 1 hour drive from world famous Rotorua, a geothermal area with hot springs and geysers, plus Maori cultural tours.

I am a practitioner of traditional/indigenous natural therapies and live on a small rural property with my family. I make herbal products and remedies on site.
We have lots of fruit trees and a vege garden, and we are also planting and growing native trees and medicinal herbs, particularly native Maori herbs. We need help with general garden/property maintenance, as well as harvesting fruit and herbs.
We live near the sea and have a small tidal flat beach at the end of our little street. Our property has a biological septic system, beautiful bore water, and there is low cellphone reception on our street, so while you can get online (mostly with 3G), it's a long way from any cell towers!
