Would you give up your home for a life on the road? When Lynette and John Valk sold their three-bedroom home in Blenheim to live in a nine-metre motorhome and explore New Zealand, it was easier than they thought, and they don't regret a thing.

"We have seen so many hidden gems of New Zealand that we would never have seen if we were still living in a house," says Lynette.

Does the idea of selling up to make a big life change appeal to you? What changes would you like to make?

Hi Neighbours,

Thought I’d share a neat moment walking along Vipond Road this afternoon that I saw a large Kaka being very friendly in a yellow bottle brush tree until the Tuis scared it off, saw this bird not once but twice today. What a stunning looking bird and didn’t seem too scared as I was able to view it up close.
Not sure if this is regular in Stanmore Bay as we have just moved here to Vipond Road but awesome moment to view this large bird up close all the same

Cheers
