More about us

We are a family of 5, Gary and Sandra both late 40's and 3 adult children ages 20,23 and 25 who all live away from home. Gary is currently working as a labourer and Sandra is retired. We have a miniature schnauzer who will be put in the dog hotel while we are away and 4 Burmese cats who are very low-maintenance and just sleep all day. We are a very easy going family who take pride in our home and would definitely take care of any home we exchanged with.
We are hoping to exchange to London for 2-3 weeks over Christmas/NY 2013/14 but would consider offers from anywhere in the UK or Europe so please get in contact.

Where is it?

Neighbourhood

We live in the beautiful city of Tauranga, which is a 2.5 hour drive from Auckland's International Airport. Tauranga is the ideal location for a Summer Holiday, situated a short 10min drive to one of the most amazing beaches in the world. (Mount Maunganui beach - As shown in pictures). The major shopping/restaurant area in Tauranga has plenty of gorgeous boutiques and speciality stores as well as a vast range of restaurants with waterfront views and is only a 10min walk from our home. There are various parks, swimming pools, cinema, cafes, take aways and walking tracks within short walking distance from our home. There is also 5 great golf courses all within 20mins drive (closest is 5min drive). Tauranga is only a 50min drive from Rotorua which is a hugely popular tourist destination with plenty of activities such as the luge, gondalas, hot springs, mud pools and cultural shows. We are located 70 meters from the main road where you can catch bus to anywhere around the city.
