“We have just completed a two week exchange with Penny and Iain and highly recommend an exchange with them. Their home is located in an excellent position to explore Wellington and the surrounding area. Penny and Iain\'s home is very comfortable, organised and clean and we loved waking up to the beautiful views each morning. They left our home exactly as they found it. They also looked after our cat, Cy and took great care of him. Thank you Penny and Iain.”
“We stayed at Penny and Iain\'s place in Plimmerton, NZ in October 2015. It was a great jumping off place to visit all of Wellington and the regions attractions. The town itself (Plimmerton) was really attractive. The home was spacious, comfortable and very quiet. The car they left for us was excellent. Penny and Iain looked after our place on the Gold Coast as if it was their own and we were really happy to come back to our place as clean and tidy as we left it. I would recommend their home in Plimmerton and them as houseswappers to anyone. Neil and Trish Rainey”
“Nous avons eu un échange super avec la magnifique maison de penny et Lean pour 10 jours en non simultané. Cette maison spacieuse et pratique a une vue magnifique sur une baie, elle est à 5min de toutes les commodités et à 20min de la ville de Wellington c'est très facile de si rendre, nous accueillerons volontiers Penny et Lean si un jour ils repassent par Annecy. Nous sommes enchanté de notre séjour chez eux. Merci pour tout et à bientôt. See you later. Isabelle, Alexandre, Ocèane & Jade.”
“We had Penny and Iain stay in our home for 2 weeks recently, reciprocating for our stay in their home earlier this year. They left our home in excellent condition. We felt totally comfortable leaving our house in their care. We highly recommend them for your future home exchange.”
“My husband and I just completed a 2 week non-simultaneous exchange with Penny and Iain in Wellington NZ. It could not have been better! Their home was so comfortable and well-prepared for us. They left lots of information about what to do and see in the area, and we had a fabulous time exploring the city and surrounding area. We look forward to reciprocating when they visit our home in May. You won't be sorry when you do an exchange with Penny and Iain.”
We are Penny and Iain, retired and enjoying travelling. Penny was in education and Iain worked for an oil company. We have done over 30 very successful exchanges (Canada, UK, France, Italy, Australia) and made some great new friendships as a result. We will care for your home as our own. We are able to exchange cars if you wish. We are usually two travellers but occasionally travel with two other retirees (with your agreement). We prefer to go somewhere warm and although this is our main home, we are open to non-simultaneous exchanges.
Our home is in a beautiful area 20 minutes from the centre of the capital, Wellington. There is a beach nearby as well as a swimming pool, a boutique cinema, a number of restaurants and cafes, and numerous places to walk and explore around the area. There are also a number of golf courses nearby. Pataka Museum in Porirua holds a number of interesting exhibitions.
Drive into the centre of Wellington in around 20 minutes or take the train which runs approximately every half hour into Wellington.
Wellington is a beautiful compact city and easy to walk around.
Enjoy the huge selection of excellent cafes and restaurants. A visit to Te Papa, New Zealand's National Museum, is a must - it is free and you are guaranteed to spend several hours there and maybe return another day. Take a ride in the cable car up to the top of the Botanic Gardens and walk down back through the gardens. Walk up Mt Kau Kau or Mt Victoria for outstanding views of Wellington. Tour the Parliament buildings. Walk around the waterfront and enjoy the weekend markets. Enjoy a concert; the theatre; relax watching your favourite sport; or visit Peter Jackson's Weta Cave (Lord of the Rings/the Hobbit); or take a trip on the ferry over to the South Island through the stunning Marlborough Sounds.
Visit the Martinborough vineyards in the Wairarapa which are an hour's drive from our house, over the Rimutaka Hills. Sample some wines and enjoy lunch while you are there.
Drive north up the coast from our house along the beautiful coastal road past Pukerua Bay towards Paraparaumu and Waikanae. Paraparaumu is approx 20 minutes away and Waikanae about 35. Visit Kapiti Island and try to eat your lunch before the kaka birds snatch it from you! Southward Car Museum in Paraparaumu is another attraction not to be missed.
