As someone who plans to settle in New Zealand in the near future, this video is just the exact visualization of my dream-quiet, peaceful, farm life. Thanks for this video, truly made me happy! (Sending support from the Philippines)
I really enjoyed this video. You are so lucky to be stranded in such a beautiful place during this pandemic. The girls are really able to learn so much with all the different experiences available to them.
Lived in Marlborough for 25+ years. If you were going to be living in Rai Valley during winter, you would definitely want the warmest clothes you could get.
I'm stoked the whānau are having unique experiences money won't buy. Working and living on a farm is a skill set few will learn. Bare feet too! That's really living the life. Wow. Subtle way of telling your neighbours to leave. Working farm dog doing a good job. Possum meat to supplement that yuk kibble. Excellent share. Thank you.
What an amazing place everything is just a walk or a short drive to hidden treasures, lol the girls "Eww she's eating it" 😂pest control at work and the cows are saying "moooove🐄 that fence" 😂 I love coming on your adventures 👏🏾fantastic video.
I used to live on a farm in a valley like that.. It's cooler in the valley then in the open plains because the mountains cut down your sunshine time one or two hours a day..
Not that far from here, (Nelson Lakes) I've been through the Rai valley a number of times, take a dinghy out in the sounds which isn't far from there and catch some blue cod. delish!
Those were Muscovy Ducks not Geese. Sometimes it seems that every other garden in NZ has a lemon tree. Citrus do need a little chilling, only most don't like frost much. NZ is mostly warm-temperate so we can grow quite a few sub-tropicals but not to commercial quality. Good enough for the home garden. I hope you got to Pelorus Bridge about 10kms away, it's quite pretty with the Beech forest.
Hey guys beautiful vlog, usually your content is more about fancy city lights, restaurants and the lifestyle of that country and yet here you are living the new zealand dream, well done I'm so jealous😎🇳🇿❤️
When Chloe said "They've got two rabbits in there" I knew exactly why she was barefoot. The absolute innocence and joy in her voice said she does not feel the cold.
I'm from Sri Lanka . I love your vedios and somtimes Ilive there. Another thing is I really happy about your contents and love it. I wish your Good luck and all the best Love you guys .....
Theres nothing like waking up in a countryside setting in NZ on a sunny winters morning its seems to revitalise the spirit. Also going barefoot puts us back back in contact with the earths vibrations, we werent meant to wear shoes as a species its good to let the feat breathe, also loved the honesty box for the wild honey, see less and less honesty boxes these days. Still looking forward to your "announcement" thats meant to be coming 😉
Hey guys, what a treat for lockdown in Auckland for a week. Looks like you all had a great time in Rai Valley. Greetings from Helensville. New Zealand.
Next time, go off track and into some bush. Especially if you get another farm house like the Rai! NZ is super safe, the most dangerous thing in the bush is deer and pigs! Which usually run away when they hear humans.
I would say you Guys have had your best Kiwi experience so far. What an amazing property and you seemed to revel in it. Wellington next? Why not stay in the Mainland?
Hi I know Rai valley , my dad has a holiday home in the Pelourous sounds, we take a road out of Rai valley to get there . The Pelourous river is near and they filmed the scene with the barrels going down the river there in the Hobbit :) my dad lives in Tahunanui beach too.At the moment in February its summer and nice and warm
Keep an eye out for feijoa fruit trees on your travels. The trees come into fruition around late Autumn/early winter if I remember rightly. My all time favourite. (superripe=supers weet)
That place is just right for you guys, I think you should stay there. Those chooks better start laying more eggs soon too, or they'll end up as chicken soup.
Out of all your video's that iv'e watched when iv'e had the chance, i can honestly say that this was my favourite. - everything about it i enjoyed - from the first person up in the morning (peaceful time alone) feeding the animal's moment.....to the dog (after a bath) killing a possum.....even the funny neighbour story i enjoyed - anyway, "I have to go"....and i mean i really do have to go (Lol).
Oh!!! We just got your joke at the end of this comment. I really have to go. It took us a few reads before we got it. 😂😂So glad you enjoyed our day to day life. We'll have to pump out more like this.

Love your vids, just wondering why they are so far out time/season wise? Love how you are starting to embrace the kiwi lifestyle, nothing better than going barefoot
HI, Help me please . I want to go to New Zealand on work permit visa now I have a physical problem Epilepsy. I can live like a normal person and work I have no problem but I have to take my medicine constantly without taking medicine I have epilepsy in my sleep which means I have a seizure for a few seconds now can I go to New Zealand with this problem What? And will they allow me to stay in New Zealand after I find out about my problem at New Zealand Medical? Please let me know I would be benefitted. Thank you
Possum must have been sick. They do not come out in daylight normally. Would not have been chasing her, more like scurrying for cover, scared. They are quite blind.
Carrying the rabbit by having its body on your lower arm with its butt on your body. It would give the rabbit some area to anchor and be secured. This kind of lifestyle of large area of land, and house in the middle of greenery is my dream.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Indeed. City life is too crazy. I’m currently in Asia and there are way too many people. It is a rat race region. Though I would like to head back to America or to Europe for better living environment. See how it goes! I reckon there are plenty of space in Canada, just like New Zealand
i know from experience that leaving NZ will take its toll, cloe will miss the organic food and less chemicals in other products ,,the other girls will miss their friends they have made, you your self and your hubby will miss the security and the freedom basically 1 year in NZ has been worse than covid kia kaha
Yes! We have fallen in love with the country and the people here ♥️ We are staying at a home now with all kinds of fruit trees in the garden. 🍎🍑🍊🍋🫒🍇🍅 and more ... Amazing!
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders ok here is a thought ,apply for an extended visa through tourism nz ,your hubby has an internet company and you and your girls are the pushing tourism to the world i dare say my brother would have cloe in the shop for a day ,.as he also employs a chef- tell him to give me a ring lol i think he would enjoy the coverage

Hi I am ramzan Bhatti in Russia but I love 💘 and I like 👍 New Zealand 🇳🇿 💕
Wow! That's amazing. Welcome to our channel. We have so many beautiful video on New Zealand that you can watch and many more coming out soon!
This travels are the best present you can give to your kids. Priceless. Good look
It really is! We're having such amazing experiences.
Glad you all are enjoying beautiful country side lifestyle 😀
You're a great mum, a great teacher. As the bible says, 'Train a child up in the way they should go, in the end they will never depart.'
I could hear the tui birds singing
Beautiful village,& nice video story
I love this country for visiting that is amazing place. To explore beautiful farm
It's a beautiful country and great experience living on a farm!!
I love this channel, these lady's are big up now..
Love that place, it would be easy to fill up a day there. 🤗
For sure 💯!! We got into our little farm living routine.
Lived in Marlborough for 25+ years. If you were going to be living in Rai Valley during winter, you would definitely want the warmest clothes you could get.
Yeah it was cold 🥶
I'm stoked the whānau are having unique experiences money won't buy. Working and living on a farm is a skill set few will learn. Bare feet too! That's really living the life.
Wow. Subtle way of telling your neighbours to leave.
Working farm dog doing a good job. Possum meat to supplement that yuk kibble.
Excellent share. Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed our video. We truly had an amazing experience living on the farm!
What an amazing place everything is just a walk or a short drive to hidden treasures, lol the girls "Eww she's eating it" 😂pest control at work and the cows are saying "moooove🐄 that fence" 😂 I love coming on your adventures 👏🏾fantastic video.
Had to laugh, maybe the dog was hungry, it didn't look like she got the right food for breakfast.😉
@@harrycurrie9664 She wanted possum stew 😁
@@meg7088 Have you tried it ? would probably be a bit like rabbit but fruitier I think.😊
@@harrycurrie9664Eww no I'd dry reach 😜 😅 K Fry chicken 🍗 for me.
@@meg7088 Yeah, me too... or a BBQ chicken is nice.😋
What a beautiful vid of a beautiful country from beautiful family. Love this vid of NZ and I really miss this place after watching your vid.
I really enjoyed this video.
Glad you liked it! That was really fun living there for a wee while.
That's really funny, I scaffolded that place 4 years ago
What a small world. 😂😂
That looks very peaceful and zen
The kids, especially Chloe seem to be getting strong Kiwi accents
Yeah it’s contagious.
Enjoy our beautiful country..
Beautiful!! Diferente experiences💕 you are so lucky
This was super special experience for sure!
Beautiful home and environment 😍😍😍😍 wow..
Ya it really was!
Glad the girls enjoyed themselves😎
I used to live on a farm in a valley like that.. It's cooler in the valley then in the open plains because the mountains cut down your sunshine time one or two hours a day..
Makes sense.
Another great experience for the girls. The buggy ride was a little scary, I thought it might tip over.
Yah that was fun!!😊
It's awesome. I am so happy for you. You are so lucky to have such enjoyable lives
Thanks! We're definitely experiencing so many different places around the world.
Not that far from here, (Nelson Lakes) I've been through the Rai valley a number of times, take a dinghy out in the sounds which isn't far from there and catch some blue cod. delish!
Rai valley is a beautiful place.
So excited
Looks so nice there. Be even better in summer
Wow so beautiful family ❤️💙❤️ we love you all 🌹Keep going👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Saludos familia hermosa, me encanto la parte donde le dieron de comer a los patitos y bañaron al perrito, son muy tiernas de su parte chicas🐕🦆🦆.
My son lives in Nelson.. such a gorgeous area.
It sure is. Beautiful sunsets his way.
Rai Valley soinds nice I 'got to go' ... nice meeting you 😁
The whole area is beautiful!
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders lol I think you missed the (got to go) joke 😁

I live in New Zealand and have never heard of a place like this before. Self sustaining homestead? I think I'd like that kind of lifestyle
It’s a beautiful area too.
there are quite a few actually - we have one and our neighbors are off grid.
Thank you for amazing video. We really enjoy🔝🔝🔝🙌🤗🤗😘

I didn't know you in Rai valley... No wonder you love it... I'm in motueka
Cool! We visited Motueka a few times. 🙌🤩
One of your all time best videos. Oh...I've got to go... (lol)

I think they have
Yes there's been a few shudders lately. 😁
I've watched so many of your videos on your experiences in New Zealand, I consider you all naturalized kiwis 😀
Well thank-you! We will see what INZ has to say about that. 🙌
Enjoying the farming life loved seeing it with you all . Kiwi from Virginia
Thanks! We loved it too!
Hey guys, what a treat for lockdown in Auckland for a week. Looks like you all had a great time in Rai Valley. Greetings from Helensville. New Zealand.
Hope to get a couple more videos live this week so we can entertain you during lockdown. Stay safe in Auckland.
Kiwis make what you call 'smores' with Griffins Chocolate Thins and marshmallows.
Oh that's interesting. We didn't know that!
and nice house .
'place also
Next time, go off track and into some bush. Especially if you get another farm house like the Rai! NZ is super safe, the most dangerous thing in the bush is deer and pigs! Which usually run away when they hear humans.
Very beautiful house 👌❤️
It sure is!
I would say you Guys have had your best Kiwi experience so far. What an amazing property and you seemed to revel in it. Wellington next? Why not stay in the Mainland?
ah they are
Hi I know Rai valley , my dad has a holiday home in the Pelourous sounds, we take a road out of Rai valley to get there .

Life goals!!
Amazing life really 💞
Yeah it sure is!!!✨🙌🏻
Keep an eye out for feijoa fruit trees on your travels. The trees come into fruition around late Autumn/early winter if I remember rightly. My all time favourite. (superripe=supers weet)
We love feijoas!! 😋
Kind of like the dog situation, feijoa people can sense/smell? Other feijoa people🤜🤛
Good luck to you, you are a very big RUclipsr💞
very beautiful family life.lovely.lm from srilanka.
Thanks! You’ll see the Sri Lanka videos starting to come out over the next few months.
Greeting from Serbia 🥰👍❤❤
Do you ever think you and your family will get to make a trip to Antartica?
Yes for sure! We're pretty close here in NZ :-)
That place is just right for you guys, I think you should stay there.
Those chooks better start laying more eggs soon too, or they'll end up as chicken soup.

@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders yup you’ll find them occasions at parks and reserves. But you won’t many keeping them as pets
Not where I live,thousands of Canadian geese,South Kaipara heads Helensville,they are a major pest.

Hi from Mexico!
Hello there!
I really want to live at New Zealand permanently
I know. So many people would love to call this place home.
Gota love being a kiwi
so, are you going to stay in New Zealand, now you are here?
It's very tempting. We love it here!❤️🇳🇿
HI, Help me please . I want to go to New Zealand on work permit visa now I have a physical problem Epilepsy.

Possum must have been sick. They do not come out in daylight normally. Would not have been chasing her, more like scurrying for cover, scared. They are quite blind.
OMG that's crazy. Never thought of that.
Good morning girl pretty 🌼🌸🌺
possums are considered pests here in New Zealand, they eat kiwi eggs.
Yeah they’re not good for the vegetation and can eat up so much of it at a fast speed. We learned that from the locals here.
Also we have mosquitoes too, that were bought over by the cook islanders many many many years ago in the past
they also don"t chase humans --
Oh where's the Ute?🤔😎❤️
Didn’t film it. Naomi who came to move the cows drove one.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders that's funny you knew what I was talking about (Ute) well done lol😃
where?
This is on the South Island of New Zealand between Picton and Nelson.
So who do you work for ?
🍁🍁🍁
nice but how you can afford it
We work online. I’m going to be soon sharing a whole series of videos about how we do what we do.
That’s so funny! Possums are such an environmental threat.... kiwi kids would be rejoicing
I know...we didn't even know that until after being here for a couple months. I'm sure they're all rejoicing.
Go, your barefoot warrior. Such a healthy thing to do.
Yah!!
Ok
Carrying the rabbit by having its body on your lower arm with its butt on your body. It would give the rabbit some area to anchor and be secured. This kind of lifestyle of large area of land, and house in the middle of greenery is my dream.

oh btw my brother owns o'neills gourmet in richmond mainly a butcher but also sell seafood and wine ,
