Spenceley Family

Wanted Down Under Revisited Series 10
Episode 4 of 16

An updated look at families previously featured on Wanted Down Under. Two years after their trial week in New Zealand, where do the Spenceleys call home?

In 2014, Gentle Spenceley was desperate to convince husband Phil to uproot their life in the UK and move to New Zealand - the country where she was born. Having moved to the UK when she was just six months old, Gentle had spent a lifetime longing to return down under. When the couple chose the country as their honeymoon destination, she hoped it would sell itself to Phil as somewhere they could start married life. But three weeks down under failed to win him over.

When they became parents to Harrison in 2012, Gentle had put her dream of emigrating on the back burner. However, when Phil revealed he didn't feel settled in the English countryside soon after, she seized the opportunity to make him reconsider moving to the other side of the world.

A trial week in Auckland was Gentle's last shot at persuading Phil to cast aside his practical and emotional concerns in order to follow her dream - and her efforts finally paid off. Now, two years on, have the family made the leap and moved down under or are they still at home in the UK?

Spencely family update

When we last spoke with the Spenceleys they were in the process of building their new home in the beautiful village of Puhoi. They are excited about living in a rural setting with amazing views of the surrounding hills and coastlines.

Gentle will remain in her job part time and Phil is enjoying a new job in the Central Business District of Auckland - this includes working from home occasionally, which the family are happy about!

They have been back to England to celebrate Gentle鈥檚 brother鈥檚 wedding and are looking forward to family visiting them in New Zealand this year. We wish the Spenceley family continued happiness and luck with their life New Zealand!
