Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

We have a very light and sunny home with views over Wellington from nearly every room. The living areas are open plan and open with french doors onto a sunny deck
that overlooks the view. It can be windy in some weathers but wonderfully calm in others. We have two bedrooms available, each with a queen bed. Downstairs is the second bedroom with a view, another bathroom and the laundry. The house is up about 50 steps and there is off street parking. The street is a cul-de-sac so it's pretty quiet and we enjoy the sight and sound of tui, grey warblers, kereru, kaka, thrush and blackbirds and the occasional kingfisher.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Brooklyn sits just above the city and within easy walking distance. We are about a half hour pleasant walk into central Wellington
(and there are buses handy too) and there are some good walks and mountain bike tracks accessible from the house. Our village has several cafes, a very popular independent picture theatre, a well reviewed cafe/bistro/bar, as well as a pharmacy, money machine, small convenience stores, liquor store and takeaway shops. By car, the city and waterfront is a 5-10 minute drive and in the other direction it's a 10 min drive to the coast and a lovely drive (or walk) around a rugged coastline and several bays and beaches.

Attractions

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

Wellington is a vibrant and very walkable city, with great cafes, museums, theatres, and shopping, a lovely harbour and waterfront, as well as beaches and wild coastal walks. It's also the headquarters of Peter Jackson's movie making with access to Wellywood tours.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

We are open to receive exchange offers from anywhere but will only travel in NZ and Australia for 2023 and 2024. But we are happy to exchange further afield during
this period if you can “bank” our end of the exchange until 2025/2026.

Our preferences: the Greek Islands; London; New York; France, Italy and Australia. But we are open to other places.

We have wooden floors so no stillettos.
Our deck is high above the ground and not safe for children. We also have white sofa covers which are a nightmare with children.
