We are a retired couple living in Waikanae about an hour north of our capital city Wellington. Joined HE in the past few weeks and have successfully secured a non reciprocal swap on the Sunshine Coast in March. Because NZ is so far away from most of HomeExchange people we are happy to do a longer exchange with anyone who wants to come to NZ, we can stay elsewhere while people are here or do a reciprocal swap. Bill’s family are in Cornwall/North Devon England and a trip to see them and stay somewhere in England when not with them or in Europe could work as could USA. Likely to be later in 2025
Once I figure out how to put the link to our home here I will!

Hello Anna!
We are not planning to come to NZ in a short time, but, if you like to take a short low cost flight from Uk while you will be here in Europe and have a look at our area near Venice, you and your husband will be very welcome in our flat. We love to meet people from so distante places (we love to meet people from all over the world, but some places are more “exotic” than other.
Good luck for your rearch .
Ciao Monia

Hi from Calgary Alberta Canada.
I saw your post in the forum. My wife and I are planning a trip to New Zealand maybe in 2026.
We are new to home exchange as well. We just did a 3 week exchange in France. We have one booked in Perth, and one in Denmark and one in Vancouver as well.
If you are not already sponsored would you like me to sponsor you?
We both get 250 guest points and it is really easy to do.
My exchange ID # is2648421
Enjoy your day

Thanks Rick and Kelly,
Love to talk closer to 2026 but we would be keen for a swap or a non reciprocal one. We can go away for 3 weeks in NZ when you are here. Once you have your itinerary sorted get in touch we are quite flexible with times.

Hi there! I am keen to one day do a reciprocal exchange to NZ. My father was born and raised in Auckland. He passed quite a number of years ago but it has always been a dream of mine to take my family there to immerse ourselves in the culture and traditions. I received my citizenship about 2 years ago. We live not far from the Sunshine Coast on another Island on the West Coast ~ Vancouver Island. I would be interested in keeping in contact in case you ever wish to return to the coast!

Hi there Anna

I believe I have copied our home above…new to this! :relieved_face:

We live in Nanaimo BC, on Vancouver Island! A very central and convenient spot to explore the Island! :desert_island:
