🌿✨ Introducing Tōtaravárre ✨🌿
⁣
Tōtaravárre beautifully bridges the majestic Tōtara trees of Aotearoa, New Zealand, with the rugged Swedish mountains. “Várre,” meaning mountain in the language of the Sami people, indigenous to Scandinavia, connects our home to the ancient landscapes of Sweden, while “Tōtara” pays homage to the resilience and strength of these native New Zealand guardians.
⁣
In naming our home Tōtaravárre, we celebrate this fusion of worlds in our memories – the rugged, timeless majesty of the Scandinavian fjäll meets the lush, enduring vitality of the New Zealand bush. Mighty Tōtara trees stand high on the hill, watching over us, protecting from the wind during storms, and giving us shade.
⁣
Here, where Tui and Kereru birds sing amongst the branches, we find a link to both our heritages. Our home, flanked by Tōtara, looking out over the land, serves as a daily reminder of our commitment to this place and its history.
⁣
We are kaitiaki, guardians of this beautiful place. We are guided by those who walked these lands before us and the hope of those who will follow.
⁣
Join us in embracing the spirit of Tōtaravárre, a home that stands as a testament to the resilience of nature and the unity of cultures.

Welcome to Tōtaravárre. We look forward to sharing our sanctuary with you.
