We’re Maik and Keri. We live in the centre of the North Island of New Zealand, a geothermal region with mountains, lakes, native bush and loads of mountain bike and walking tracks. We’re really outdoorsy and live for skiing and snowboarding in the winter. We love to travel and have a bucket list of adventures we’re planning, starting with a winter season in Canada. Keri loves yoga and music, Maik loves mountain biking.
We’re respectful, house proud and practical people and promise to take good care of your home.
Keri is an ambulance officer, providing emergency care for those in her community. Maik is a builder and has built several of his own homes. Between us, we own two homes, both of which we’re happy to exchange.
