Myself (Barbara) and my husband (Terry) have been retired now for 3 years and we love living where we do. It's a lovely environment and we consider ourselves very fortunate. Be assured we will take great care of your home as we do our own home.

We love to travel and look forward every 2 years to seeing our son, his wife and our 2 young granddaughters in England and visiting other places from there. We also like to break our journey by stopping somewhere half-way between NZ and England and again on our return home. This year (2012) we are departing NZ at the end of May and returning in mid September.

We look forward to taking part in Home Exchanges in the future and also to meeting people should they stay in our apartment whilst we are here at Willow Lake.
