2 retired lawyers with 5 children and 6 grandchildren between us.
We are hoping to spend some time in mid to late 2019 in France where we have a newly discovered relative and family members to meet. We are interested in Normandy or Brittany but open to any possibilities anywhere which would enable us to visit our new family members.

Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

We built our home 5 years ago on the beachfront to suit the needs of older people, with space for children and grandchildren to stay. It’s a comfortable 220 square metre home with stunning views from the main bedroom and the living areas. The white sand beach in front of us is perfect for walking, swimming and fishing. It’s 50 minutes by car to NZ’s capital city, Wellington, and 90 minutes’ drive to the renowned wine district of Martinborough. Paraparaumu Links Golf Course, one of NZ’s premier courses, is 15 minutes drive away.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

We live in a quiet neighbourhood with a number of cafes and bars within walking distance, a shopping centre with 2 supermarkets, a pharmacy, medical centre and cinema 5 minutes drive away. With the beach right in front of us it’s a beautiful and restful place to live.
There are good cycle tracks, lots of walking tracks and bush walks as well as many hill tramping tracks close by for the more active.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

It is a short walk along the beach, or the road, to several cafes, a great bakery and corner stores for bread and milk type supplies.
Walking on the beach at any tide is lovely. It’s 40 minutes to the Waikanae River mouth going south or you can walk for many kilometres going north if you wish.
The Waikanae golf course is 15 mins walk or 5 mins drive away.
