We are Bryant and Christine, are retired and live on a small "lifestyle" block near Palmerston North. We have a holiday home at Pukawa (Lake Taupo) which is our preferred exchange house. We enjoy travelling, experiencing new cultures and meeting people . We usually travel as a couple but occasionally (if their work commitments allow) we travel with our adult children, Caleb and Samara (born 1993 & 1991 respectively), sometimes they exchange on their own.
We have completed over 30 exchanges (non-simultaneous or hospitality) and have made many life-long friends!

Preferenze
Cosa ci piace, cosa non gradiamo… Ecco le regole in casa nostra.
Our house has stairs and a bush walk track for access - it is NOT suitable for those with mobility issues. Children are welcome but please be aware there are stairs and outside decks - it is a very long way for an unsupervised child to fall.
We ask you take care of our house as you would your own, leaving it clean and tidy after your stay.
Pet care is NOT needed at this house.
