ABOUT US...

Our modern home, built on two acres is situated in a peaceful country setting in the Bay of Islands 10 minutes drive from Kerikeri Township, and close to historic ruins. The house has been built to capture all day sun and maintain a comfortable inside temperature all year. The grounds have been landscaped (and are still under development) with areas of New Zealand native trees, flower gardens, and lawns.

We run an engineering consultancy (roading) from home and our offices are separate from the house, so we can "go home" at night.

We are keen on sailing and part own a 30ft keel boat which spends half the year here, in the Bay of Islands, and the other half in Auckland, sailing the Hauraki Gulf. We have an extensive knowledge of New Zealand having lived in various cities, and regularly travel around New Zealand for our business.
