Hiking and adventure or simply getting away from the hustle and bustle and relaxing with some peace and quiet? This location is for you!! Accepting requests over the winter period! Explore the most isolated part of the North Island! Northland coromandel and the coastal walkway. I’m your host! born in NZ and happily living the coromandel lifestyle. I’m a beast of a man and great at many crafts. I’ve travelled the entire country and believe this is the best spot! I love cooking as I’ve worked as a chef, I love gathering local foods and growing my own food and sharing the experience I also love being active hiking local walks, we have the coastal walkway here you can look that up online! Easy going, open to day trips and adventures, sharing local knowledge and enjoying delicious meals and deep conversations.

Teach, Learn, Share
I enjoy good conversations, and mostly I enjoy sharing good food. Lots of time walking the beaches. swimming! training, and hiking and enjoying nature. Because nature is therapy. local knowledge, outdoor activities like hiking and fishing and gathering wild food, being sustainable with local resources, And having fun, and a laugh. Not taking life to serious and enjoying the moment.

Like preparing meals and maintaining a clean organised environment, plenty of good vibes and great hospitality and if you like dogs, then you are in luck because we own dogs. And dog walk daily.
