Description

A fold out futon bed also available in the living room. Kitchen is tidy, but unfortunately no dishwasher.

The house sits upon a good-sized 900sq m yard that overlooks a valley that has a kiwifruit orchard at the bottom. It is a fairly private yard that sits next to a primary school, with a playing field and playground (if you have children)

Neighborhood

Beach only 15 minute drive away. Half hour drive to the geothermal wonderland of Rotorua. 2 hour drive to Lake Taupo, the largest lake in NZ. 2 hour drive to world renowned Waitomo Caves.

About Us

My family and I are looking to visit Edmonton, Alberta Canada during Christmas and New Year's. I am originally from the Edmonton area, so I am familiar with the Edmonton winters and am willing to shovel your walks of snow. If you choose to swap with us we would like to include a car in the exchange.

WE could stay with family when in Alberta, but we would like to have our own space so that we do not become too much of a burden on our family.

Our family consists of 4. I am a Science teacher at the local high school. I grew up on a farm close to Ryley AB, 100km to the East of Edmonton. My wife is a NZer and she is training to become a teacher. We have two wonderful daughters, 8 and 10, and they would be coming with us. They are well behaved and tidy. They were born in NZ and have never experienced a white Christmas.

So if you want to escape the Alberta winter for the Christmas period, consider an exchange with us.

Destination

We would like to exchange with someone in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. We would also be open to locations close to Edmonton, especially East of Edmonton. This would be a simultaneous exchange that includes the use of a car. The dates are somewhat flexible, but we would prefer to arrive before Christmas(2008). Early in January (2009) would also be acceptable.
