Teach, Learn, Share

Did you know that Thomas Wolfe was so tall that he couldn't find a desk and chair comfortable to write at; so he stood and wrote atop the refrigerator!?

What I Can Share with Hosts

We live in a 14 bedroom converted retirement home!

We are primarily film-makers with a few other creative and/or coffee related professions thrown in for good measure.

We have;
- a shared creative/work space in the sun room.
- a dedicated production office for the in house production company Candlelit Pictures (www.candlelitpictures.co.nz).
- a big ass kitchen and every appliance you could need.
- a laundry room.
- so many places to hang out, big living room, separate dining room, tea room/library, big back deck and backyard.
- a huge awesome park 5 minutes walk away.
- on a main bus route.

While Mickey & Anna don't partake; other housemates are very 420 friendly.
