Description

Completely solar powered house on the top of a hill (360mtrs above sealevel) on a 10 acre section covered by grassland and regenerating bush. There are 180^ views across surounding hills and out to the sea from the house. The house is a 15-20 minute drive into town and the beautifull beaches of Gisborne. We are able to provide a vehicle with the swap. There are two double bedrooms and two single bedrooms which could easily accomodate 6-8. Power supply within the house is normal, we have wireless bradband internet, our water is heated by solar and wetback, cooking is by gas. The house is 1 year old modern board and baton style. No proper gardens are in yet but we are working on an easy care native garden.

Neighborhood

We love the neighbourhood because it is a nice distance from town but has the advantage of a small general store 5 minutes down the road, the views are spectacular, and the house is surrounded mainly by regenerating bush. The is no other houses within eye sight of our house also so very private and quite.

About Us

I am a full-time mum caring for 2 small children at home. My husband is a registered nurse working at the local hospital. We have just built and moved into our house 1 year ago and now feel it is time for our sons to get to know their english family who live in Surrey.
We love the outdoors and new experiences.

Destination

The dates are flexible we are looking for a period of time from 6-12 months where our husband and I can find temping work to fund our stay. Would prefur central England to Southern England as the family is based in Surrey.
