We have a strong family focus and love the great New Zealand outdoors, which is right at our doorstep. We hike, cycle, walk, play golf, enjoy good food and wine and relish different experiences. We have travelled broadly and have been to some amazing out-of-the way places...The Galapagos, trekking in Nepal and sailing the Pacific and we want to continue to travel, perhaps a little nearer to home, over the next years.

Welcome to our home and welcome to Hanmer Springs, a very beautiful part of the South Island of New Zealand.
My husband and I love to travel. We are flexible for exchanges and have done more than 20 exchanges now, some with Homelink, but also through other exchange sites. It is a great way to enjoy new experiences and we will care for your home, as we expect you to care for ours.
We live in a comfortable, modern house (210 sq metres), on 12 hectares, 7 kms from Hanmer Springs Village, with magnificent views to the mountains. It is quiet, peaceful and totally private, yet we are only 90 minutes to a major city (Christchurch). We wake to the sounds of melodious birds and to an amazing ever changing landscape. Breath deeply because the air is clear, clean and crisp.
Step into New Zealand's great outdoors for the serious hiker, or enjoy tranquil forest walks around the village. Alternatively, get a rush of adrenaline with a bungy jump, jet boat ride, rafting, mountain bike or a quad bike experience. There is lots to do and some of New Zealand's finest vineyards are only an hour away.
Hanmer Springs is an alpine spa and tourist village, set in a large valley, 385 m above sea level and is surrounded by forests, mountains and New Zealand's spectacular outdoors. Here the summers are usually hot and dry and the winters are cold, with snow around the house 3-4 times a year.
Hanmer Springs is 130 kms north west of Christchurch and is an ideal location to explore the northern part of the South Island

I nostri consigli su cosa non perdere in questa zona
There's lots to do.. walk the forest trails and breath the fresh clean air; have a leisurely lunch or dinner at one of the excellent restaurants or cafes. You can enjoy some of the best mountain biking in. New Zealand. There are tracks and challenges for every level. We have some great rivers, with trout fishing right at our back door (in New Zealand it only costs $145 for a season ticket).
If you want some to challenge you, how about trying a bungy jump from the bridge over the Waiau River, or an exciting jet boat ride or rafting trip. What about riding a quad bike across scenic landscapes, or perhaps a game of golf is your thing ?
Try walking, trekking, skiing, mountain biking, horse riding, camping, hunting, mountain climbing or just going for a picnic or visiting some of the excellent wineries in Waipara where some of the best New Zealand Pinot Noir and Riesling is grown.
Take a day trip to Kaikoura and see the famous ecotourism Whale Watch experience and see the seals.

Cosa ci piace, cosa non gradiamo… Ecco le regole in casa nostra.
My husband and I love to travel. We are flexible for exchanges. We are open to any suggestions. Simultaneous or non-simultaneous exchanges.
We are interested in exploring more of Australia after five successful exchanges there in the last couple of year and three more scheduled in 2019. We are also keen to do more exchanges in New Zealand, particularly in the South Island, Eastern Bay or Plenty or New Plymouth, but would consider the Pacific or Asia.
You can be assured we would look after your home to our own high standards and would expect you to do the same. We do not have animals so our home is allergy-free.
We are also available to house sit if you prefer.
Our home is non-smoking and we ask you to respect that. A car exchange is preferred.
Our house is available for a non-simultaneous exchange from around 20 December until the end of December 2019.
