Kevin and I are both musicians in our early 60’s and both nearly retired. We love to travel and are looking forward to doing a lot more of this in the next few years. We are both involved in brass bands and playing in musical theatre shows. We love travelling around NZ in our camper van seeing our wonderful country, and also boating in the Marlborough Sounds. Our two daughters are both married and have each had two gorgeous children.
Our two cats are Napoleon and Charlie and are both characters! They love cuddles and attention!

Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighbourhood is fairly quiet with a 15 walk to nearest supermarket and bakery. It is only 5 minutes drive to the centre of town. Blenheim is small town of 30,000 people but is at the centre on major wine growing country. We are world renown for our Sauvignon Blanc wine! There are many wineries in the district with cellar doors and opportunities to have wine tastings and food.
Our house backs onto the Wither Hills which have many walking and biking tracks for differing abilities.
Blenheim has an Olympic size heated swimming pool, plus smaller children's pools, a movie theatre, plus a wide range of shops.
The town is 1 1/2 hours way from Rainbow Ski field, and 1 1/2 hours away from Nelson City which has the best beaches!
