“As we wished to visit Singapore and experience the vastly different way of life, this home and location was ideal. We arranged a non-simultaneous exchange. We met Bertrand, Laurence, Ulysse and Justine, two delightful children, at Hawkes Bay Airport and quickly became friends. They settled into our home and embraced our lifestyle with no problems. We visited Singapore for 3 weeks. The Bago home is situated at Serangoon, 25 mins. from down town Singapore. A short walk takes you to a bus stop (or taxi) to connect with the MRT (Mass Rapid Transport). This service will take you downtown in 20 mins. and is a very cheap and convenient way to travel. Their home is a spacious 3 bedroom apartment in Kensington Park, with large living area, kitchen, 2 ensuites and magnificent views of Serangoon, situated in a quiet up-market street. We could walk to local restaurants, supermarket, and enjoy the experience of mixing and learning about the way of life of the friendly people. Kensington Park is a gated complex of multi-storey apartments. The facilities include a 50m heated pool, tennis court, barbeque, sauna and beautifully laid out gardens. We covered many areas of Singapore and felt comfortable and safe at all times. Many different nationalities made it an interesting and vibrant place to visit and the facilities, services and shopping is outstanding. We keep in contact with Bertrand and Laurence and their children and hope one day we will meet up again. We would definitely recommend a home exchange with this delightful family. It was a pleasure to return to our home - it was left perfect.”
