Our New House

Well we finally managed to find somewhere to live. It's a four bedroom cedar house in Kohimarama. It's about two minutes from Kohi beach, a short walk to the park and just a around the corner from the St. Thomas's so the kids don't have to worry about changing schools.

We bought the house at auction on Tuesday 6th December, settlement (completion) will be on Thursday 14th December and we move in on Wednesday 20th. Buying a house in NZ couldn't more simpler. Obviously there's plenty to do between now and our moving date, but we're happy to take up the challange of moving five days before Christmas. This will be our forth move this year so we'regetting the hang of it now, but we wish we could close our eyes and get there without having to deal with the many issues that come with this kind of move.



This is the patio. For those who knew our home in Sheffield, this house has a small garden, but comes with a wrap around deck.
