We are a retired couple enjoying life, and travel from NZ to Europe each NZ winter for boating on the inland waterways of France, and we like to have an exchange or two on the way there or back. Now with travel restrictions, we are enjoying exchanges in NZ and hopefully Australia.

Read More...This compact home has everything we needed for a perfect holiday and is in an ideal location for exploring the pretty suburb of Devenport and for accessing Auckland via a short ferry ride. It was perfectly set up for breakfast on the balcony, a walk into the town past beautiful 19th C villas or up the extinct volcano, from where there are amazing views of Auckland and the islands in the Bay. We loved our stay here, highly recommended.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We have a newly renovated comfortable two level town house in the historic seaside suburb of Devonport, on the North Shore of Auckland City
Our home is 1 min walk to your choice of a number of safe swimming beaches, and 10 min walk to shops, cafes, restaurants and the ferry to central Auckland. There is a Golf course close by. Auckland is a wonderful base to explore the upper north island from and is the gateway to the magnificent Hauraki Gulf islands most of which have public access and ferries service them regularly.
We own a 40ft motor launch that we stay on in the summer time, and would be most happy to take you out for a day trip to see our wonderful Hauraki Gulf. Our home is sunny, light and has fantastic views over the sea and the extinct volcano Rangitoto which has only been there 600 years. We are open to non and simultaneous exchanges and car can be available.
