Chris Coakley
Hi there,
we look forward to welcoming you to Swallows Ridge. We moved to Kerikeri from the UK just over 3 years ago in search of a new lifestyle.
Michael worked as an engineer for HJ Heinz for 28 years before returning to college and studying horticulture. He started his own landscaping business which he ran successfully for 10 years.
Chris originally trained as a nurse and eventually became Head of Department in a university with responsibility for training 1500 student nurses.
However they decided it was time to change their lives completely and have more time off!
What they didn't expect was to have cows, ducks, chickens and 21 acres.
Thay enjoy travel, walking, fishing, gardening and entertaining.
We love it here and know that you will too.We look forward to your visit.
We Speak:
English, French, German (standard)
