About your host, francine
Hi, my name is Francine, come and share our passion for sheep farming, and growing peonies. There are amazing views of the Torlesse mountain range on the farm, where we have ducks, horses, working sheepdogs and Huntaways. We love the Malvern foothills area where we live, it would be a pleasure to share with guests a little slice of New Zealand rural life!
