広々としたキャラターの家---マオリの丘

I am Helen, my family has been living in Dunedin for over twenty years. I love Dunedin! I like walking, sewing, cross-stich, gardening and cleaning. Maybe my real love is in learning and teaching, since I really enjoy finding myself in progress or somebody else improved with my help. I am a follower of Jesus, and this is the most important part of my life. I have changed a lot since I became a christian in 1998, not even myself could ever imagine . I was always the top student in primary school, high school and university---but knowing nothing about babies before I was 26 and had my first baby, never cooked a meal until my first daughter was 12 years old. Not because I was so rich that I did not need to do these chores, only because I thought I did not have the ability to do these. Before I often ashamed of myself ---being a mom, yet could not even cook or drive. Now I changed, I look after four children( our three kids, and one Japanese girl), and also do the Air B&B cleaning myself. A change that beyond my imagination, a change that my husband and my children can feel, and I noticed myself too. I become more peaceful, more joyful, more rational, and more relax. All these changes because I know, there is the God. He loves me, He cares me, and He has the power to change me. In the past, I was so easy to get stressed and worried, but not now. When I am troubled by something, I often remind myself to ask help from God, stop worrying and hand the burden over to God. Believe me, it's a long journey, but it really worth it! If you are someone who want to change, why not give God a chance? It's free, and you won't be disappointed I am sure. By the way, I am good at maths and logic. I graduated from computer-science, but I don't like computers :( . Please do not ask me any questions about computer, I often need my kids' help when my computer or cell phone goes wrong. Thanks for taking time to read my personal stories.
Best Regards Helen

The house built in 1924 with beautiful ceilings, Rimu floorings and generous space for everyone. Very sunny spot with oil heaters in every room to ensure the warmth in cold days. Well equiped kitchen for cooking.

It has two big gardens: the front one is amazing with so many flower trees and flower bushes.

Best location in Maori Hill, 20min walk to city centre, hospitals, Dunedin top schools and university. Also many beautiful walks and famous gardens around.

Because the house is beside the native forest(town belt), you can see lots of native birds and hear different beautiful birdsongs, like wood pigeons, Tui, fantails etc. Must have a short walk along Queen Drive so you can be immersed in the native trees and have a wonderful view to the harbour and Peninsula.

Extremely quiet street, since people normally walk to everywhere instead of driving. Pure fresh air all day long. People are very friendly here.

Getting around:
There is a bus stop two minutes walk away to university and downtown.
There are plenty of parking space in front of the house along the street. The street is very quiet and safe, very few traffic.
