Description

Our 3 bedroom home is very comfy, and bright and cheerful as we have lots of large windows and a large deck. Who wouldn't have lots of windows, when you are built on a point and have water on two sides?!

The garden is well established (albeit a bit on the au-naturel side!), with a footpath leading down to the water's edge. Depending on the tide, we swim off our garden in summer, and twice a day we listen to the tide rushing in. It's a great bay for kayaking.

Devonport is a mature established suburb on the harbour in NZ's biggest city, Auckland. We have several excellent swimming beaches minutes from our house, and the harbour is perfect for anyone who likes fishing or kayaking. As the sun comes up in the morning we often watch from our deck as fishing types launch their boats on the other side of our bay.

Devonport has many good cafes and is ideal for walkers, as there are spectacular views of the harbour wherever you go.

Devonport has no nightclubs or McDonald's outlets, being a more "villagey" type suburb, but the central city is a very pleasant 10-minute ferry ride away.

Extra Info

We are Henry and Trish, in our late 40's, our 10 year old daughter Ruby, and a baby girl, Ricci. We have had eight very successful exchanges in Uk and France, and we would treat your home with the utmost respect. We enjoy hiking and cycling, and share an amateur interest in English history and architecture. Our Auckland home can be available for a short-term exchange to Devon, Cornwall, Dorset or Derbyshire, but if you are wanting a long-term exchange in NZ, that can be non-simultaneous, we have a lakeside holiday home to offer - see HE20592 on this website. Or maybe you have another suggestion for us?!
