We were lucky enough to meet John and Lis a few weeks before we exchanged houses. They are warm friendly folk with a comfortable home. It was a short walking distance to the New Plymouth CBD. This was an advantage when the Americana car rally was in town! They kept in close contact with us during the drama of Cyclone Gita and were most understanding when there were power problems in their exchange house. New Plymouth is a very interesting city and there is lots to see and do in the wider rural area of Taranaki. We strongly recommend an exchange in New Plymouth. Thanks so much Lis and John. Best Wishes for your future travels. Heather and John
