    Description

    We are a busy active family of 4 live close to the mountain and beach.

    Me and my husband are at our mid 30s, our kids are 6 and 2 years old.

    I am from Taiwan so I can speak Chinese and English. This is my 7th year in New Zealand.
    Husband born and raised in here so he knows all the secret spots in here that's not on google😆

    Our house is located in a quiet area 5 -10 to the beach, 25 to 35 minutes to the mountain, 5 minutes to city center.
    It has mountain view throughout the house, front garden has fruit trees and berries, plus a back yard has nut trees.
