House Hunters International: Outward to Orewa
Overview
Brenda and David Goodstone have been married for 10 years and live with their sons in a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand. Five years ago they sold their first home and moved their family into a four-bedroom rental so they could afford to buy a café in Auckland. Their investment paid off and they sold the café for a profit. Now they want to find a house in the popular beach town of Orewa for their twin boys, Blake and Aaron, to call home. They want at least five bedrooms, a garage and space for a pool. Real estate Brett Bogue signs on to help the Goodstones with their quest.
