Hello from Methven, South Island, New Zealand

English Forum Welcome!

I’m originally from Australia but have been living in NZ with my husband years now. We have 4 adult children with their own families now.

I was introduced to Home Exchange by my cousin who recently completed her first exchange in Portugal for a month and she raved about it.

We are looking to do an exchange or GP’s to COBH, IRELAND in 2026 between June and September to visit my daughter and her family. We are trying to build our GP’s so we can go on this trip. Please come and stay at our place and enjoy a funfilled winter ski holiday in New Zealand! My listing is here: Jennifer's house is in a Famous NZ Ski Town, Methven. Mt Hutt is our ski mountain. We are in a rural environment on the edge of town, views to the mountains and clear starry night skies. Walk to town, cafes pubs, restaurants & cinema. World Famous Blue Pub, Hot Air Ballooning, Jet Boating, Mountain Biking, Golfing, Tennis, Skiing and Snowboarding all literally on our doorstep. Kind Regards, Jennifer

Welcome to HomeExchange and to the Forum Jennifer :slight_smile: Your home looks lovely and I think you win the prize for the most descriptive home title! Can I offer a couple of small bits of advise. You mention that you are keen to encourage guests to stay during the ski season, but all of your photos are during the spring/summer. Perhaps add a few of the surrounding ski area in the winter? Also having a minimum stay of 60 days will reduce the number of people able to stay. Is this something you may be able to change?

Hi Melissa,

Looks like your message got cut off.

Hi Melissa,
Yes, you’re right. I need some more winter photos which I will do. I only set this up yesterday so still working on my photos. We would prefer long term through winter, though we would consider requests. It just means that for shorter stays when we’re not there I would have to put it with a management company to turn over short stays, in turn , there would be fees including cleaning fees. Whereas, for longer stays, I can do the turnover and put it back into pristine condition when I return. I appreciate your feedback… I’ll try and get this updated as soon as I can. Thanks Melissa.

Yes we will absolutely consider smaller stays in winter. Our calendar is pretty much open from now till end of next year.
