We are a couple in our 70's. Stuart is a retired engineer and I work part time as a psychotherapist. Our preference for exchanges at the moment is for the Greek Islands; possibly London; and anywhere near Mooloolaba, Australia, where our son lives. We are happy to receive requests from other places however, if we are able to bank our end of the exchange until 2024. We are most interested in Italy, France, the U.K., Croatia, Greece, and New York.

Of all our many exchanges throughout the world, this rated very highly with great communication all the way through, extreme kindness on their part me...
Read More...Of all our many exchanges throughout the world, this rated very highly with great communication all the way through, extreme kindness on their part meeting us at the airport and taking us home, before sitting us down to a lovely light lunch ! Their home was very comfortable and SO different being higher than the Wellington Lookout (amazing views) whereas 'The Boathouse' is below flood level and literally used to house a boat 100 years ago ! We were able to re-pay some of their kindness when they came to our place and they left 'The Boathouse' and car in a pristine condition. Thanks Jane and Stuart.

Descrizione della casa che offriamo
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.

Descrizione del vicinato e dei paraggi
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.

I nostri consigli su cosa non perdere in questa zona
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.
Cosa ci piace, cosa non gradiamo… Ecco le regole in casa nostra.
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.
