Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Our home is in Birkenhead on Auckland's North Shore, down a long right-of-way off a main road, so it is well away from any road noise. The cedar and brick house is one of five of similar construction nestled besides the bush. We have our own excellent local community, along with the residents of an adjoining right-of-way. It nestles into a conservation zone of NZ native trees full of native birds, especially the tui. The house is on four split levels - the garage level, the kitchen, living and amenities level, the main bathroom level with two bedrooms and the master bedroom and ensuite level. The kitchen, living and amenities level has direct access to a deck area, BBQ, small gardens and artificial grassed area with outdoor furniture and umbrellas. The house includes:
* Heat pumps (aircon) in the main living area and all bedrooms
* Additionally, gas heating in the living area
* Nespresso coffee machine
* New induction hob and pyrolytic self cleaning oven
* Bose sound system
* 55" LG OLED TV
* LPG BBQ
* Outdoor electric heater

The house is pet free and we are both non smokers. We request that there be no smoking on our property.

It is a very easy place to relax, especially outside in the warm summer evenings, listening to the birds. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

We also have a three bedroom holiday home at Cooks Beach on the Coromandel Peninsula, about a 2.5 hour drive from our house in Birkenhead. Access to that can be made available at no cost, depending on its availability as it is occasionally use by other parties.

The car that is available is a petrol driven 7 seater SUV (with two flip up seats forming a third row in the luggage section for children or small adults). It has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, along with the usual Bluetooth and other apps.

The three bedrooms have a double bed, a queen bed and a king bed respectively.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

It is a short, 5 minute walk to the Birkenhead suburban shopping centre which has a small mall, supermarket, a number of clothing and other shops, bars and many ethnic restaurants. Nearby Northcote Point offers wine bars and the boutique Bridgeway cinema, Our place is located within easy and quick access to the city centre. There are bus stops within 50 metres of our driveway taking you to the city centre in 10 minutes, or to nearby Takapuna, known for its shopping, restaurants and beautiful beach. Takapuna public golf course is just down the road. It is a half hour walk to the ferry terminal from where you can experience a harbour crossing to the city and on to other destinations, including the islands in the Hauraki Gulf. We are 2km to the motorway running north/south through the heart of Auckland and 5 km from the central business district and harbour front via the Auckland harbour bridge. In addition there are some wonderful bush walks both near our house and further afield in Birkenhead and adjacent suburbs. Sometimes they have fantastic views of the harbour and city and sometimes you could be in another world, far away from civilisation.

Attractions

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

It is a 5 minute walk to the local Birkenhead shopping centre and a 20 minute walk to different harbour views of the city and the harbour ferries. There are many bush walks in the area through native forests. There is a regular bus service from the top of our driveway to the city or the beautiful Takapuna beach. Both are 10-15 minute journeys. In the city you can visit the Museum set in the beautiful grounds of the Domain park. The art gallery is in the city centre and the Kelly Tarlton aquarium is around the bay from the city centre. You can stroll around the viaduct basin and view the yachts moored there or catch a ferry to the islands in the Hauraki gulf. Takapuna golf club, a very affordable public course, is nearby. You can go to the many beaches up the east coast of the North Shore. Alternatively, you can drive to the black sand beaches on the west coast, such as Piha or Muriwai.
