Retired professional couple, married 44 years, late-sixties, active, youthful outlook. One adult son. Former banker and cardiothoracic/heart transplant nurse respectively.
Experienced and keen travelers. We have completed eleven wonderful international exchanges since 2016 - England (3), France (2), USA (2), Australia (2), Portugal and Canada. Plus two within New Zealand.
Exchanges have averaged 4-5 weeks but several have been about 7 weeks. We prefer longer rather than shorter exchanges (if in the Northern Hemisphere) - given the large time and travel commitment involved in travelling to/from New Zealand.
We are keen to re-commence home exchanging now that New Zealand has re-opened its borders post-COVID. We welcome enquiries for exchanges worldwide but particularly in UK, Europe and North or South America. Also keen for exchanges within New Zealand at any time. Not looking for exchanges in South Africa. We are not able to do non-simultaneous exchanges.
We have exchanges arranged in Europe covering the period February to April 2023.
We are very interested in Homesits in any location but, sorry, not if that includes pet care.

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
Listing updated 19 July 2022. New Zealand is again open to international visitors and without needing a negative COVID test to enter the country. Please contact us - we want to start exchanging again.
Six-year-old, modern, stand-alone, townhouse in Mairangi Bay, arguably the best suburban beach in NZ, on the North Shore of Auckland. Five minutes walk to the village (restaurants, cafes, shops, med centre) and two minutes further to the beach and coastal walkways.
We bought all-new furniture and appliances when we moved into the house. There are four bedrooms - one contains gym/exercise gear. The middle level has kitchen, dining, family room, gym/bedroom, bathroom and a sun deck with a retractable awning. Built-in garaging and internal access from the garage to the house.
The large master bedroom is the only room on the upper level so is very quiet and private. It has a king-size bed, ensuite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe.
The other two bedrooms are on the lower level and have queen-size and standard double-size beds respectively, along with a large lounge/TV room and lower deck. The third bathroom is on this level.
We have a high-speed fibre internet connection with unlimited data. Netflix and other streaming sources.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
Quiet, friendly neighbourhood with a mix of mainly retired people plus families with children. Not on a main road.
Mairangi Bay is a very safe beach for swimming with occasional surf. It is one of a string of beaches that make up Auckland's East Coast Bays which all face east to the Hauraki Gulf.
Although the use of a car may not be essential, we believe a car exchange is necessary because it makes life a lot easier. Buses to Auckland City central and to other parts of the North Shore run through the Village, five minutes walk away.
Auckland city centre is 20 minutes drive to the south (off-peak) or via express-lane bus park & ride (five minutes drive then 20 minutes on the bus) or by bus from the village (five minutes walk then about 40 minutes on the bus off-peak).
The house is approx. 240 sq. m. (2,500 sq. ft.) over three levels. Lower level - two bedrooms , large lounge TV room, bathroom with shower and bath, deck and outdoor access. Mid level - front entry, kitchen, dining, family room, bathroom with shower and toilet, and a fourth bedroom currently containing gym gear (rower, bike and elliptical cross-trainer). Upper level - large master bedroom, walk-in wardrobe, ensuite bathroom and shower.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
Five minutes walk to the village with cafes, restaurants, supermarket, specialty shops, post office, petrol station, medical centre. Two minutes further walk to Mairangi Bay beach - arguably the best suburban beach in New Zealand. The neighbouring East Coast Bays beaches are linked by both cliff-top walkways through native bush and by cliff-bottom foreshore walkways.
