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!

Nabolag
Beskrivelse av vårt nabolag og området rundt
Pukawa is a small holiday area on Lake Taupo. It is very popular in the summer as it is lakeside and offers safe swimming & boating. It's also popular in the winter as it is a good place to base yourself for skiing on Mt Ruapehu.
It's close to the tourist attractions of Tongariro National Park with it's fabulous summer hiking/tramping (Tongariro Crossing) & winter snow skiing/boarding (Whakapapa/Mt Ruapehu). Thermal baths, hot mud pools and fabulous trout fishing are all within 15 minutes by car. Taupo with it's restaurants, shops, stunning scenery & activities is only a 45 minutes drive. The closest town is Turangi (bank, supermarket, info centre, shops, bistro/restaurant & medical centre etc) - it is a 15 minute drive from our house.
A car is essential as public transport is extremely limited.

Våre preferanser
Hva vi liker, hva vi ikke liker ... Her er våre preferanser og husordensregler.
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.
