We grew up in Whangarei area and have always had a love with the beach. We love the lifestyle as we have a boat and enjoy going fishing regularly . We play golf and walk the many tracks in our area. We are also a short trip by car to the our city centre Whangarei ( about 35 minutes)
We are also retired and have recently purchased a modern caravan so we will see more of our country New Zealand .
We enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and would very much like to meet you.
