We are a quiet modest family who loves to meet new people and chat about their life experiences and different cultures.My husband loves to have a Barbeque or make a pot on the fire over the weekend and family and friends can chat and have some relaxation time.
We are living in a lovely 5 bedroomed, three bathroomed house which is adjacent to a park in Pakuranga Heights.We have a veggie patch with a variety of different herbs.
There are two single bedrooms with a bed, desk built in cupboard in each room.Bedding is provided.
