We are bookabach hosts and users who enjoy living in a stunning part of the world, and love travelling to see what else both New Zealand and the world has to offer us!
We've been using booking platforms like this (including AirBNB, etc) around the world since soon after they first began, and it has worked really well for us. We have used them for work (for Mark and colleagues), for personal use, and for holidays with our family. We are frequent bookabach, homeaway and AirBNB hosts.
We live in Wanaka, New Zealand along with our two kids. We are both kiwis (from Dunedin and Wanaka), but have spent 10 years living elsewhere in NZ, and 18 years living in the UK. Our work has taken us all over the world.
Mark says: I love language, literature, technology and good conversation. I'm an avid snow skiier, love being out on the water (lake, not sea), scuba diving, I'm a private pilot (fixed wing, not current) and I'm fluent in German. Most importantly, I have a positive outlook and a good sense of humour.
Rach says: I enjoy exercise and the outdoors, and love living in Wanaka. When possible, I love being out on the lake and in winter I also love to ski. I spend a fair amount of time on my mountain bike, and I enjoy walks beside the river. I really enjoy travel, but nothing beats a golden sandy beach! Most of all, I have a lot of time for good people!
