Read More...Many thanks, Keith and Margaret. We really enjoyed our relaxing stay in your home and rediscovering Tauranga and the surrounding area after an absence of about forty years. This was our first Exchange within New Zealand and its success has reinforced our view that domestic exchanges are a Very Good Idea. Very best wishes Craig and Colleen

Read More...What I call a PERFECT EXCHANGE - thanks so much Keith and Margaret ! When we found that their home was in a "Gated Community", we had a vision of a lot of little townhouses all on top of each other and a regimented style of living, but this was totally wrong - their home was gorgeous - spacious, well appointed, super comfortable and with views from huge windows all over their garden and 'common' spaces - all beautifully maintained! Even lots of birdlife that we fed every morning ! You name it we could have joined in as guests (the manager was charming and invited us to join in all the activities), which included a lovely pool, lawn bowls, croquet (our favourite game), films, meals, etc etc ! However there is so much to see in the region, that we were rarely in the 'Village' and explored 'all' the Bay of Plenty, which is gorgeous, the Coromandel Peninsular etc etc - we even took a 'V8 Trike Tour around the local area - magic ! We both felt that if we were younger we would seriously think of coming across the 'ditch' and living around here ! A great 2 weeks, thankyou so much ! John and Marg Dickinson

Overlooking the harbour of Tauranga your house is an ideal place for exploring the surroundings. It was raining very strong in the week of our stay but we felt warm and cosy. Thank you very much! You will always be welcome in my house.

We loved the beach at mt. maunganui beach where we went for swimming, boogie boarding and running. Glad we had our wetsuits with us as we could stay in the water for longer time. We enjoyed the nature in the area and amazing waterfalls, especially on on the way to Rotourua was very beautiful. We enjoyed seeing the country and the diversity of the nature and towns.
