We are a professional couple, 50 and 55 years, no children and we love nature, the outdoors, hiking and birdwatching. Traveling to the US and Canadian west coasts, the UK and Europe has given us some amazing experiences and now we are keen to try holidaying by home exchange. Our NZ exchanges have all been wonderful!

Beskrivelse af vores byttebolig
Our 8 year old modern home in a quiet northeast suburb of Christchurch is open plan and super sunny, with a large deck off the dining room and kitchen, leading to the private north facing garden. The lounge room has a remote controlled gas fire, 60” TV with DVD, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ streaming. We have high speed, unlimited, fibre internet with wi-fi throughout the house. There is also air conditioning for heating or cooling. We have a large board game collection you are welcome to use.
Two of the bedrooms are available for your stay with a super king bed and ensuite in the master bedroom, plus a queen bed in the second bedroom. The main bathroom has a full size bath and shower.
We have 2 bicycles with helmets for you to use. We would prefer a car swap also. We have a Mazda 2 Demio hatch and a Subaru Forester SUV, both automatic for your use.

Vores lokale tips for muligheder, steder at besøge, mens du er i vor bolig
Christchurch city centre has an amazing amount of new dining and entertainment venues. Our home is only a 15 minute drive or one easy bus ride to the city centre with all the shopping, dining and entertainment you could want within a short walk in the compact, pedestrian & bike friendly centre.
This is the best website for loads of info on Chch and further afield in Canterbury, including the day trips I mention below: https://www.christchurchnz.com
There are lots of day trip options (see links below):
• The historic French settlement of Akaroa 1.5hours on a beautiful harbour with kayaking, hiking, penguin and seal colony, boat cruises and swimming with wild dolphins.
• Hanmer Springs alpine village with thermal pools/spa, forest biking/hiking and jet boating is 1.5hours.
• TranzAlpine train journey across the South Island and back, over the Alps.
• Mt Hutt ski field and Methven village are just over 1hour, for non-skiers there is a sightseeing chairlift ride and a hot spa at the very top: https://www.mthutt.co.nz
• On the way to Hanmer is the Waipara Valley winery region: https://www.christchurchnz.com/what-to-see-and-do/canterbury-vineyards/
• The country town of Oxford at the foothills of the Southern Alps is 45min, has great summer open-gardens, a farmers market and native forest walks: https://www.visitwaimakariri.co.nz/towns/oxford/
Touring around for a few days you could add much more - this website has suggested 4 day trips: https://www.newzealand.com/int/trips-and-driving-itineraries/south-island/
• Kaikoura 2.5hrs for seafood, coastal walks, seals, whale watching cruises: https://www.kaikoura.co.nz/ and https://www.alpinepacific.nz/
• Arthurs Pass village high in the Southern Alps 2.5hrs with spectacular alpine scenery, native Kea parrots, waterfalls and walks: https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/canterbury/places/arthurs-pass-national-park/
• The Mackenzie Region 3hrs includes Mt Cook (the highest mountain in NZ) and Lake Tekapo village on an aqua glacial lake: https://mackenzienz.com/destinations/
• Oamaru 3hrs, the Steampunk capital of NZ and the historic Victorian Precinct with galleries, cafes, markets and penguins: https://waitakinz.com/oamaru/
