We are an active couple, in our 70`s who enjoy travelling. In 2014 we walked 110km of the Camino in Spain, and last year the Cinque Terre in Italy. Peter 's 2 sons and 1 daughter all live in Sydney Australia, and June has one son in Auckland, and one in London. Although we love to travel, we also enjoy our life in the "bays". We love our peaceful home. We play bridge..... Peter more seriously than June!! June goes to yoga 5 times a week...and the gym. We do a lot of walking around our beautiful waterfront.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
From our home we can catch a bus either into downtown Auckland, or to St Heliers. Or we can walk to the city, 8km, and bus back. Our waterfront is always busy with families, walking, biking. The beaches, Kohimarama Beach, St Heliers Beach, and Mission Bay are very popular for summertime swimming, and all year round windsurfing, kayaking, paddle boarding etc. We can also get a bus to Newmarket, where there are many quality shops and restaurants.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We are looking for central London for two retirees December 2016. It is important for us to find our home neat and tidy when we return. Our home is only small after the large homes we have both been used to, but we have some pieces of furniture that we are very fond of, and treasure. We have a king size extremely comfortable bed, and hope to find a home offering similar, as Peter is a light sleeper.
