Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Kelburn, Wellington
We are Peter & Julie, retired from banking and a Registered Nurse respectively. We have enjoyed one very successful house and car swap a few years ago and have always intended to do more but life got in the way! Nonetheless we've continued to travel extensively and want this to continue whether domestically in NZ, trans Tasman or further afield. Peter is originally from the UK, Julie is a born and bred Kiwi and our adult children live in NZ and Sydney - these destinations (ie Australia, UK/Europe & NZ) are probably of the greatest interest for a swap but we are open to consider anything. Our interests are broad but no doubt representative of our age group - books, theatre, tramping, choir, travel, op-shopping, sports and so on. Proud owners of 2 excellent e-bikes which we use frequently - they're ideal for Wellington's topography.
