Our comfortable home is set on two acres with chooks, ducks, six sheep,two miniature horses,two cats, a small dog, gardens and a pretty outlook.
The animals are easy to care for. The ponies and dog will need most care but they are happy critters who enjoy company and enjoy chilling with the humans.
We are planning to be away for about 3 weeks in March 2015 and need someone to take care of our home and animal family.
House sitter accommodation will be an ensuite bedroom with queen bed and French doors opening to a small private deck.
We are 5 minutes drive from Ashhurst, 15 minutes from Palmertson North city with views of the Ruahine ranges and Te Apiti wind farm.
It's a short drive to Woodville and Feilding. There are three cafes within easy walking distance.
We are close to some stunning walks, including the Manawatu Gorge, Pohangina Valley, trout fishing, bush reserve, horse racing, motor racing, museums and heaps more.
It would be ideal if you could arrive a night or so before we leave so we can introduce you to the animals and show you the ropes. You are welcome to stay on either side of our holiday dates if that fits your plans.
The house is heated by a heat pump (if the weather turns) but is north facing so catches all day sun, bring your Kindle and DVD's and enjoy a peaceful stay in the country.
