Beschreibung
Hi I have lived in South taranaki for my whole life but travelled extensively. My family are of dutch decent and I have many aunts and uncles in the Netherlands. My employment was with special needs children I have recently retired. We are grandparents to 23 grandchildren and of course they do not live with us but some are close by. My husband and I have a large old 3 bedroom Villa styled home. We have had many international guests over the years and enjoy meeting people. My husband likes the renovating and building projects of which there are many at the moment. We are flexible on the length of time our visitors stay prefer 3 to 7 days ish :-) and we can negotiate a length of time that is perfect for both you and us and if this suits we are excited to hear from you.
