Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

We built our home 8 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.
