Description
We are a social couple with a lifestyle block with our home bred horses. Our new (to us) home is lovely but could do with a spruce up like windows cleaned, fences stained etc. Also for anyone that is experienced with horses there is opportunities to ride. We are close to the east coast beaches which are great for swimming in summer and horse riding year round. There are a number of vineyards in our area and we are handy to the highway and christchurch city.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We’re a friendly Kiwi couple who enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds and sharing everyday New Zealand life. With us you’ll get a taste of relaxed “Kiwi culture” — barbeques, chats over dinner, beach trips and spending time outdoors. We’re happy to share what we know about our local area, native plants and wildlife, and (for those interested) a bit about horses and rural living.
In return, we love learning from our guests — new recipes, languages, stories, traditions and different ways of seeing the world. For us, cultural exchange is simply about sharing daily life together with respect, curiosity and a sense of fun.
