Read More...It was a pleasure to stay in Olive and Mike's home on the Mirimar Peninsula in Wellington. It was a great base for hilltop walks and lovely harbour views and still not far to drive into the central city. The lovely outlook from the sunny and comfortable well presented home was especially appreciated.

Read More...We had a really great time here. The house is very comfortable and we felt so much at home. Olive, Mike and family are such a welcoming friendly family it was lovely to meet them. They very generously also let us use their beach home where we had a great relaxing weekend. Their main house is very conveniently located for visiting downtown Wellington, but also several beaches and well mapped out walking trails. There is lots to do in Wellington - good museums, galleries, nice harbour area and shops galore - and all just a short bus ride away. All perfect :)

Very comfortable and classic 'slices' of kiwi living and all that's great about NZ. Lots of attractions and things to do within minutes of their homes, and great suggestions and instructions provided.

Read More...Our family had a wonderful stay in the Wellington home. Our host was extremely kind and gracious offering us information and picking us up from the airport. The guide book was informative and we visited them on Christmas day, was nice to connect with another family on Christmas when you are away from home, as that is what the holiday is all about, family and friends getting together to enjoy the company. Thank you for everything, it was our best Christmas ever!

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Lazydayz is our holiday home on the Kapiti Coast, which is a one hour drive north from Wellington to the lovely Waikanae Beach.
Lazydayz the name says it all, just sit back and relax in the sunroom while the kids enjoy themselves in the front garden on the trampoline, slide or playhouse. This three bedroom house on Atua Street, with sleepout (which has three separate areas) is just around the corner from a beautiful, safe swimming beach and a short stroll to the cafes and dairy. We have several rackets available for those who wish to play tennis at the local courts, or bring the clubs and head across the road to play a round of golf. For those less energetic relax in the garden listening to the Tuis, have a game of petanque or read a book with a glass of wine and unwind. The bach with all the comforts of home is open plan living, dining and kitchen with ranch sliders out to decking bathed in all day sun.
