Hello, we are looking for a house carer for our lifestyle home and pets in Pataua Nth, Northland.
We live about 25mins from Whangarei and 10mins drive from the beach and estuary. There is a surf beach and a walk across the pedestrian bridge over the estuary will take you to a beautiful beach cove with calmer waters. Whangarei is a small city on a harbour. Auckland is 2 hours south and the beautiful Bay of Islands is 1 hour north from Whangarei.
Our home is spacious (4 bedroom, 3 lounges, 2 bathrooms), comfortable, neat and clean with lots of decking to enjoy the outdoors and views. It sits on 8 private and peaceful acres with wonderful ocean and rural views. We have a large screen HD TV with Sky, wireless internet, wood fire place and a herb and veggie garden to help yourself. We also have a 10x4m swimming pool and BBQ for your enjoyment.
Our pets include one kunekune pig, 3 donkeys and 2 sheep. They are all easy to care for and well behaved. Of course they have their individual needs; especially some TLC.
The only other requirements would be: pool maintenance, garden watering and lawn mowing if required.
We prefer a single local house sitter and definitely a non-smoker. A prior meeting/walk around would also be appreciated. Own vehicle and animal care experience is essential. No visitors please.
We look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you so much.
Evelyn and Alan.
