Fairfield Pet Lodge (FPL) is family owned and operated and has been in the Taljaard family (Anton, Crisna and Ashlee) ownership for the past six years, but the facility was established in approximately 1978! FPL is situated on a lifestyle block of 5 stunning hectares including lush paddocks, large gardens and mature trees, located about 7.5km from Clevdon and just under 40km from Auckland airport.
Anton has an abundance of experience with animals, serving 12 years as a dog handler in the South African Police Service, shortly after arriving to NZ he volunteered his services at the SPCA in Mangere. He also holds severage degrees in business and management. Therefore, it's no surprise that managing FPL is based on modern and sustainable practises. hence the slogan "We do not follow we lead" holds true for FPL
You will find a heap of information and reviews on our website (https://fairfieldpetlodge.nz/) and facebook (https://www.facebook.com/fairfieldpetlodge/)
PET STAY NOTE - We will accept cancellations to pre booked peak times due to forced covid lockdown - so don't delay book today to avoid disappointment for busy April and July school holidays. Reservations for out of season periods can be made at shorter notice.

To change this conversation we need to stop reinforcing these beliefs – and tell a new story. Small changes to the ways that we speak and write about aging and older age, if applied consistently, could have a big impact.
Embrace realistic depictions of aging. People don’t have to ‘look young for their age’ or run marathons to enjoy later life. Keep images positive but realistic. Avoid unrepresentative images such as older people skydiving.
If you’re aged 60 and over, value your independence but want greater security, come and have a look at the superb properties we have to offer

That’s not fair, when a child’s dreams can be so simple. Aiden just dreams of joining the big kids at school, with the proper uniform. With living costs skyrocketing, hardworking parents are finding it more difficult to provide their children with essentials like bedding, school uniforms or shoes. These children are also likely to miss out on important opportunities such as camp or swimming lessons.
