Kiwi couple living on a narrowboat in the UK, regularly returning to NZ
About
Kia ora We’re Barry and Sandra (barryandsandra.com). Barry is originally from Gisborne, Sandra from Sutton Coldfield UK. Since April 2013 we’ve lived on our 60′ long narrowboat Areandare in the UK. It took us seven years to get Barry’s UK citizenship. In August 2021 we returned to NZ for a year and spent the time travelling the country in a campervan. It was magical. Now Barry has a grandson in Gisborne, and we’re returning early January 2027 until possibly May 2027, to visit friends and family. We’re looking for house sitting opportunities in or around Gisborne. Plus potentially in Christchurch May 2027.
We’ve house and pet sat for many people in Gisborne since 2021, and can provide references as needed.
