About the workproject

We need 2 volunteers

We are the proud owners of a working Coastal Station. The farm is 1000 hectares running Sheep and Beef and has the Tidal Akitio river as a boundary. We have a Historical Homestead built in 1886 and operate accommodation to the public through the bookabach site in our Shearers quarters. We always need help with general maintenance in the grounds, on the buildings and on the farm. The beach is at our doorstep for walking, swimming, fishing, surfing.
The property is steeped in history and is a magic to stay.
We are flexible with numbers that come to volunteer depending on the work at the time.

I am married 14 years and we have four children. I have traveled extensively and i met my kiwi husband in London. We have worked our way at various business'-cafes , property development and now our love of farming. This is a unique property for its location and history AND especially that it was old family farm where my Grandmother was born.
I am social and love meeting new people.
