Description of the home we are offering for exchange
In 2017 DeutcheBank named Wellington the world's most livable city. In 2014 style bible Vogue labelled our city the "coolest little city in the world!" as did Lonely Planet in 2010.
Stylishly renovated 1910 villa by harbour beach. Safe swimming, beach walks. Petone is an older suburb which in the last 30 years has become fashionable, with character houses being restored. Along Jackson Street, 3 minutes walk from our house, is the most concentrated range of funky cafes, restaurants (every ethnicity you can think of), in the district. Also the loveliest intimate art house cinema just 3 minutes walk from home, and many interesting shops.
Wellington is NZ's top cultural city, home to the national orchestra, fantastic National Museum, cable car, and stunning Oriental Parade.
An hour north to Wairarapa wine country. And the gorgeous small towns of Greytown and Martinborough. Browse boutique shops and cafes. And some of NZ's best wineries.
And after your stay here, please don't leave the country without road-trupping the South Island (1 week min) or at least flying to Queenstown for a couple of nights, a jewel of a town.
