We own a semi-rural property in one of the loveliest  parts of New Zealand. We are just 10 minutes drive from the beautiful surf beaches, shops and restaurants of Mt Maunganui and Papamoa, 40 minutes from Rotorua with its thermal pools, geysers and world class mountain bike trails, 50 minutes from “Hobbiton” which will appeal to fans of “Lord of the Rings” and 3 hours from Auckland. If you are interested in diving there are some fantastic dive sites, particularly out at Mayor Island and if keen on golf there are plenty of golf courses as well. The scenery photos in our listing are all places located within 1 hours drive from our home, most are taken within 20 mins drive.

The largest shopping centre in the region, 3 supermarkets, public library and a gym are all just a 10 minute drive away, along with pristine swimming, fishing and surfing beaches.

In the past we have owned and managed Airbnb’s gaining “superhost” status and know the importance of caring for and respecting other peoples homes.

About us
We are early retirees with grown up children who have flown the nest so now have time on our hands to enjoy seeing more of the world.

I’ve been involved in the travel industry for the past 30 years and Richard is a manufacturing jeweller by trade and also makes bespoke furniture.  

We love to explore new destinations and experience new cultures. We are extremely house proud and can assure you that your home will be treated with care and respect.

We look forward to hearing from you…

Der Raum

Our single level home has an open plan kitchen, dining and lounge with large bifold doors opening out on a large deck. With fabulous indoor / outdoor flow and spacious landscaped grounds  featuring an outdoor fireplace. 

It is spacious at 240 m2 with 3 bedrooms, (all with queen beds) 2 bathrooms, large deck and an outdoor fireplace.

We are ideally looking for swaps of around 2 weeks to 2 months and keen on summer and also winter destinations if there is a ski area nearby. 

This is our primary residence but we can do non simultaneous swaps if required.

Gastzugang

You must be able to manage a few steps to access the house. This is our primary home so storage is limited but we will ensure we leave ample space in wardrobes for guests.

Anmerkungen

We are semi-rural so no public transport available and house swappers will need a vehicle.

We are ideally looking for longer exchanges - 2 weeks to 2 months. We are keen to spend some time in Italy, France, Scandinavia, Canada & USA and are keen skiers so winter escapes if within 30 minutes drive of a ski area are also of interest.

We are new to PLU but have done home swaps before and love the opportunity it provides  to “live like a local” in the destination visited. We are seasoned, confident travellers and can't wait to discover more of what this wonderful world has to offer!

Nachbarschaft

Our home is surrounded by farmland to the rear of the property along with avocado and kiwifruit orchards on either side

Situated in the sunny eastern coast of New Zealand's North Island, the Bay of Plenty really is just that, offering golden sand beaches, bush clad mountains, lush farmlands and it’s pleasant climate means that the area has become a favourite for holiday makers and retirees.

It’s a great destination for those that love sports and the outdoors and want to make the most of the recreational facilities that abound on their doorstep such as boating, surfing, fishing, diving, mountain biking and hiking.

And don't forget about the vibrant food and entertainment focus with cafes, live music pubs, cinemas and live theatres.

People Like Us Lokaler Führer

Happy to meet up for coffee or glass of wine or a meal if you are visiting our region. Plus we can offer  advice on local activities, e.g. walks, good swimming spots, bike trails, fishing & diving as well as some great coffee shops and restaurants. You would also be most welcome to call in for a coffee, tea, beer or whatever we have to share. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

New Zealanders (or “kiwis” as we like to call ourselves) are down to earth and friendly, and a smile goes a long way. Don't be afraid to ask for directions and recommendations from people you meet, whether it's where to get a decent latte or suggesting somewhere with a good atmosphere for dinner. Also

Don’t forget that New Zealand uses the metric system, distances will be given in kilometers rather than miles (likewise, the weather is measured in degrees Celsius rather than Fahrenheit).

Annie & Richard

We're fortunate to have travelled extensively and in the past have hosted many guests at a seperate property we owned though AirBnb. We've received excellent reviews and gained “superhost” status so rest assured we will take good care of your property as if it were our own.

We love living like locals, It gives us a much better understanding & appreciation of the location we are visiting. We have grown up children who have all left home and as we are no longer working we have the time and the inclination to explore more of the world.

We have completed home exchanges in New Zealand and love the opportunity this gives us to explore a destination like a “local” but now that we have more time on our hands we are keen to head further afield.

Richard was a manufacturing jeweler by trade and has also owned a furniture making business. I've had a 30 year career in the travel industry, owning my own business and been lucky to visit more than 70 countries. More recently I’ve been working part-time as a tour leader both in New Zealand and internationally. We like to 'experience' life in other destinations by staying in one place for at least a 1 or 2 weeks and are also keen to explore the option of longer stays of up to 2-3 months. France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Scandinavia, Canada, USA and Ireland are all on our wish list but feel free to surprise us with your suggestions.
