We are a reitred couple with a three bedroom two bathroom brick home in a nice quiet area of Hamilton. We are a 30minute drive to Raglan Beach, an hour and a half to both Tauranga, Mt Manganui and Rotorua lakes. Thames is about an hour and a quarter and the Coromandel Coast is a bit further but can be done in a day trip.
There is a lot to do and see in our city with some lovely river walks and lake walks only minutes from where we live. There is the Hamilton Gardens 10 minutes away where you can see different styles of gardens and a lovely big rose garden. Well worth taking a picnic or going to the Garden's cafe. Some lovely river walks are able to be taken from here also.
We are looking to go away at regular intervals in 2016. At present we have a trip booked for the 27th April and returning on the 7th May
We have two Swedish Vallhunds which are coming up thirteen years old and we would prefer to have someone in our home to look after them. They have a daily walk although not as far as they used to as one has arthritis and is a bit slow these days.
Swedish vallhunds are a little bigger that a corgi and are a sable colour. They sleep outside in kennels at night but are inside with us most of the day if and when we are home.
We also have 10 budgies in a small aviary outside. These just require feeding and their aviary cleaned out as needed.
