Paradise FOUND

AS FAR AS KERRE’S CONCERNED, HEAVEN MAY WELL BE ON THE KĀPITI COAST WITH GRANDKIDS

When I applied to have the week after Easter off work, I had no idea where I’d be. My son-in-law was due to start his new job in Wellington after Easter, but when I put in my leave application, their family hadn’t found a home to live in yet, so they could have been in the Hokianga, Hamilton or Christchurch – they could have been anywhere.

Wherever they were, I wanted to be, and as it turns out, that's in paradise. I've fallen in love with a whole new part of New Zealand I haven’t really had the opportunity to appreciate before.

The kids landed on their feet when they applied to rent a beautiful beachfront property on the KaÌ„piti Coast. The owners have built their dream home next door and rent out the old house to people until Christmas, when it's reserved for their own children and grandchildren until February. They couldn’t be kinder and more gracious landlords, and the property is breathtaking.
