Neighbourhood
Our neighbourhood is a small peninsula of houses up from Orewa. Orewa is a lovely seaside town with a beautiful and long sandy beach. The beach is very gradual and at low tide you can walk out about 3-400 metres before the water is chest height. It is perfect for small children and directly across from the beach is the town centre with shops, cafes, bars, grocery stores, etc. The best time to visit is the southern summer - late December through end of April.
Getting to my home
New Zealand is very rural and you will need a car to get around. We are located about 45 minutes north of downtown Auckland. There is a bus station that will take you into downtown and connecting buses from a bus stop located about 200 metres from our home.

Lisa and Rupert spent 2 weeks in Montreal this august. Lisa was a delight to communicate with and I found my home absolutely spotless when they left😊. And I shared lunch with them and got to know them more which made this exchange an absolute success. I highly recommend exchanging with Lisa and Rupert!
It was a pleasure having Rupert and Lisa stay with me. Looking forward to seeing them again soon! They were wonderful guests. I feel as if I've made new friends for life.
Patric is warm and inviting and very helpful. His apartment in Montreal was beautifully decorated and very conveniently located with lots of cafes, restaurants, and of course close to downtown Montreal. We had a wonderful time using the Bixi bikes that were just around the corner and the busing system was also great. It was easy to get around and see everything. I think Patric is a great host. I would love to come back to Montreal again - it is a great city.
Carol Ann is a truly gracious host. She is one of those people that loves to meet new people. Her home is so inviting and comfortable, plus the pool in the summer is a real treat. Her communication in either English or French is exceptional and she has lots of information on all the things to do and see in Montreal. There are great busing and biking options in her neighborhood. (We didn't have a car and didn't need one.) I look forward to having Carol Ann visit us in our home. Au Revoir and see you soon (we hope).
