Quiet suburb with lovely beaches only 10 minutes drive or river swimming.

Our names are Grant and Kathy. We are both in our fifties and have lived in nelson for 10 years. I am a Superintendent in the NZ Police, currently in charge of planning for the 2011 rugby world cup in NZ. Kathy is also employed in the police as a non sworn officer. We are first time home swappers and love the idea of staying in another country to meet people and see another part of the world. Our two daughters are both at university and may be able to accompany us for a short period.
We would appreciate being able to correspond with our counterparts to make arrangements as far ahead as possible.
We are both active masters rowers and enjoy theatre, swimming, cycling, fishing and dining out.
