Nadine and Jeff, and their two children Faye and Stevie, have lived on the property for over a decade. Originally from Auckland, the family were looking for more of a country lifestyle with land and the chance to grow organic produce and produce meat, according to the permaculture principles. Jeff is an electrician specialising in designing/installing solar power and off-grid systems. Nadine is a stay-at-home mum (and a professional cleaner!!) Watching the ‘food forest’ grow over the years has been one of the best experiences. And living near Raglan is the cherry on top as it's so convenient to the township and beautiful coastline. Lovebird Cottage is set down the back of the property, overlooking Parawai Stream. The energy down there is calm, and the bird song is lovely. The cottage is big enough for two people to snuggle in together. Nadine & Jeff are so excited to share their beautiful spot in the world with others to enjoy.
