Property type and description

House

20-year old townhouse, the far end unit of three down a right-of-way in Castor Bay. Very quiet and private. Sea views. Nice garden that includes a wee bit of regenerating native bush. Gas and induction hobs in kitchen. Only three of the five bedrooms are set up as bedrooms; the other two are an art room and large office/library. Closest shopping center is Milford (20-min walk). Takapuna, Browns Bay and Albany mega are short drives away. A swap of cars would be desirable; ours are a Toyota Corolla Blade (auto) and a Suzuki Swift Sport (manual). Happy to look after a cat and/or a dog. We don't have any pets ourselves and would prefer you not to bring yours.

  • Description

    Centennial Park has nice bushwalks. Kennedy Park has WW2 installations and a staircase down the cliffs to a beach, and there are all the other beaches on the Shore from Devonport to Long Bay, with associated beach and cliff-top walks. Auckland is, of course, one of the world's best cities. We have a copy of A Field Guide to Auckland, which lists 158 "natural and historic heritage locations". Just don't try to visit them in the congestion hours!

    Will

    We have a son and daughter-in-law who have retired early to Arrowtown, and at least one of the grandkids will probably end up in Otago. We’re looking for a swap for 2-4 weeks anytime anywhere nice in Central Otago so we can visit them a few times during the visit and enjoy Central the rest of the time. We have a large well-appointed town house on the North Shore with sea views and a garden that will need watering once or twice a week in a drought. Neighbors in the adjacent unit are a lovely retired couple. A swap of vehicles would be ideal and probably necessary. We have a Toyota Corolla Blade (auto) and a Suzuki Swift Sport.(manual). We thought of getting a unit in a retirement village in the Queenstown area, but the eventual cost of license to occupy makes it unacceptable for my trust, so a regular house swap seems worth trying.
