Cliff and Geri
The Olive grove and attractive gardens provide a peaceful environment from which to admire the splendor of the Tararua Mountains. The 2 1/2 acre section has been developed over the past 30 years and has a range of attractive spaces. Olivista is self contained and offers privacy while providing home comforts. EV's can be charged in the adjoining carport for a standard fee.
We have lived in the Wairarapa for 37 years. Cliff is a retired secondary school teacher and handyman, Geri is keen gardener and seamstress. We enjoy travel, outdoor activities, tramping, cycling and gardening. We like meeting new people and are keen to offer a service which makes your visit a memorable one.
We live in a rural environment close to Rathkeale College and the Ruamahanga River. With horses across the road, sheep and cattle in the back paddock and a dairy farm not far away, there is the opportunity to experience rural New Zealand from the comfort of your unit or patio. The Olive grove dominates the foreground while the expansive vista of Tararua ranges complete the view from your window. Willow Park Drive has a walking / cycling pathway which is popular with residents.
