Fancy spending time in a pure nature wonderland with spring fed river and ancient forest with kiwis, peaceful and quiet yet only 20 minutes drive from a town and 8 minutes from an epic beach ?. Suit mature couple even ex farmers or ex lifestyle block people that love to potter, (large shed) can fix things should something break, solution based thinkers, into art, self healing retreat stay, or writing their bestseller! poly tunnel w. raised garden beds, small glasshouse - irrigation set up on timer so just needs water access turned on and later off again., bit of weeding nothing major. Land has powerful healing energies and low EMF so a healthy spot, clean air, to rejuvenate. Private cosy cottage with full kitchen, incl and wide covered deck to enjoy al fresco dining on sunny warm days in the sub tropical north! The river great for a dip or sitting on the large flat rocks and cooling down your legs ! Well insulated serene vibe in your cottage with heat pump, wood fired pizza oven on deck.

We let you be alongside us for a couple of days so we can show you the ropes, have tried and true operations daily sheets as checklists for you and are always available via our whatapp. The dates on the listing are approximate only as stated, and ideally we need to leave 18 December, for 4 weeks, and have the housesitters arrive a few days before so we can show them around, there is private accommodation for them.
