En savoir plus sur nous

1. We have three small children, William (4) Isobel (2) and Zachary (11 months) and have lived in Nelson for 2 years. We previously lived in Auckland for 1 year and have not regretted the change in lifestyle we made in leaving the city with a young family. Despite having had a great time here in New Zealand and a fantastic quality of life, we would love to see more of our parents and relatives back home in England so are looking for a house swap for one year to keep our options open. Our house would suit a family that wanted to try out living in New Zealand but without burning all the bridges (by selling up). Nelson is a great spot for those who want to take the back seat for a while with everything easy to access and lovely weather. As a family we love going for bike rides along the dedicated cycle paths, mountain biking, playing at the beach or the park, swimming and hiking. We also enjoy socialising with other families and having BBQs in the garden or relaxing in the cafes. NZ cafes cater well for families with children often having play areas and high chairs. I am a water engineer working for the council and Becky is a civil servant (although she's been a full time mum for several years now).
