you need to understand. If we write to you and you have seen it, then answer so we know if we need to ask others. Diane and I are Married. We have 2 children and 2 grandchildren. We have cattle that we have for food.. We cut wood, prepare gardens, clear and build fences. We also have some bee hives. If wet, we have inside jobs, in the house or sheds. I may teach you how to make bone carving, about our Maori culture and legends. We live near the beach have access to seafood as well as good fishing. We can accommodate 2 - 3 people for we have 2 rooms. We let you know our plans for the next day. We give you time to enjoy Whananaki. I think it is the best jewel in the treasure chest of places in Aotearoa.

General Information
You can add extended general information about your property
..We have a grown family who have moved away from home but are within 40kms from us. We have cows, 2 dogs, 1 cat and lots of chickens and ducks. There are amazing bush walks as well as beaches, very long sandy ones as well as quiet little coves where you can be alone. Whangarei is 30kms away. I have traveled through some of Canada with my wife who is from there. I love sports but don't play competition sports for a team any more. We do go to the local school for game of back yard cricket and back yard touch football or any other game that we have gear for so there is that.  I don't mind people having a good time and my main philosophies are: work well and be good to your mother. I think wwoofering is a culture.
