House and Pet Sitters

Kia ora. We have just sold our Clyde Quay Wharf apartment in Wellington and are wanting to hold off for a year or two before buying a new home. In the interim, we’d love to house and pet sit (preferably mid- to long-term) somewhere in the Wellington/Hutt Valley area.

We are in our early 60s, are fit and healthy non-smokers, and are both rather “house proud” (i.e., clean freaks).

We currently have no pets of our own. We have had lots of pets (cats, dogs, birds, tropical fish, guinea pigs, rats…) in the past though, and would be very pleased to be able to care for your fur (or feather or scale) babies.

Happy to answer any questions and to provide references.

Many thanks!

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.
