Two cats urgently needing a loving home

Jenni from The Wood

Noodle and Lily have a close bond, so ideally they would find a home together, however we’ll consider adopting them out separately.

Lily (female white domestic short … View moreNoodle and Lily have a close bond, so ideally they would find a home together, however we’ll consider adopting them out separately. I've never been allergic to cats but have developed an allergy now so I can't be in the same room as them for too long. Lily (female white domestic short hair, approximately 10 years old ) is outgoing with an open and loving personality, she's a lap sitter. Noodle (female seal point Siamese, approximately 10 years old) is timid. She loves to cuddle up to people on her own terms, she prefers gentle cuddling. The cats sleep together and groom each other. They are indoor / outdoor cats. They both use the cat door and do their scratching on a scratching post and have very good manners. They do their business outside but use a litter box if they have to be kept inside. They aren't hunters. They are both sterilised and microchipped, and their immunisations and worming meds are up to date. They will come with toys, food and blankets. We got them from the SPCA 6 months ago, and if I can't find another home for them we'll have to take them back :( If you can give one or both of them a stable, loving home, please contact Jenni on 548 4107

This boutique hotel offers a new owner the opportunity to combine a healthy and diverse lifestyle with an interesting and profitable business which naturally scales down during winter, allowing for a holiday.

Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. In the heart of the lodge is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large woodburner with wetback heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring year-round warmth.

Organically managed, the four-hectare property provides the ability to live from the land with honey, fruit trees, berry patches, vegetable gardens, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle and horses. The small Chardonnay vineyard with a careful selection of clones produces a succulent house wine thoroughly enjoyed by guests from all around the world.

A range of useful ancillary sheds and buildings offers space for projects, hobbies, storage and accommodation for staff. Other facilities on the property include a petanque court, croquet lawn and small gymnasium overlooking the swimming pool.

This extraordinarily diverse and unique lifestyle is ideally located on State Highway One, less than a five-minute drive from central Blenheim and 15 minutes from numerous winery cellar doors, restaurants and the airport.
