I have a large clean and comfortable 5-bedroomed house in quiet country area. You will have your own double or twin room(s), share the bathroom and cook dinner (all meals provided). The house is on an acre in a lovely dairy farming area about 10 minutes south of Putaruru (where the factory is) which is about population We can offer a small amount of free broadband, but Vodafone and 2 Degrees don't work very well at home unfortunately. Telecom is the best. And you must like food and especially cheese...(!)
Neil and I have travelled a lot, especially to Europe, and we have hosted people from all over the world over the last few years. We love meeting people and helping them to enjoy this lovely country!
Nearby is the Te Waihou Walkway and stunning Blue Springs, and the Waikato River Walkway which you can also mountain bike on. Also Maungatautari Ecological Island. We are about 1.5 hours from the Hot Water Beach at Kawhia, Waitomo Caves and Mount Ruapehu (for the Tongariro Crossing), and just over an hour to the lovely white sand beaches like Mt Maunganui on the east coast. I look forward to hearing from you - Sue
