My Te Awamutu house sit finally came to an end last week, and from there I moved straight onto the next (and current) property, which is about a 25-minute drive south of Rotorua, in a rural district called Ngakuru. I’ve been here a week and everything is going really well. It’s nice out here, so…

I’ve been house sitting in Te Awamutu since finishing up in Levin. I left Tiny and friends on April 9th and started this current sit the next day, with a sleepover at Raetihi to break up the long drive. This is my second stay on this property. I was here for a month at the…

My current house sit finds me on my second Levin property. This is a lifestyle block situated just a few minutes’ drive south of town. It’s a repeat house sit for me. I was here a couple years ago. The homeowners had invited me back to look after their place last year but I was…

Following a short stay in Raetihi after Glen Murray, I’m now a couple days into my current house sit. This one finds me on a lifestyle block in Koputaroa, which is about 7kms north of Levin. Koputaroa translates into English as ‘breast of the albatross’, the name referring to the heavy fog that can fill…

My current house sit sees me returned to Glen Murray for a second stay on the same rural property that I was looking after last month. It’s good to be back, I like it out here. It’s a nice quiet spot and the animals are all pretty low maintenance. Glen Murray – First Visit The…

I’ve moved on from Gordonton and my new house sit finds me in suburban Te Awamutu, in a nice modern home located at the end of a cul-de-sac. The house is not far from Pak ‘n’ Save & Mitre 10 (an easy 10-minute walk) but it’s surprisingly (and pleasantly) quiet around here with very little…

Having moved on from Raetihi and straight on to a new house sit, this is my current residence, which finds me on a dairy farm in Gordonton, and about a ten-minute drive to the shops in the Hamilton suburb of Rototuna. The contract milker is taking care of all the milkings and farm work etc….

After eight days of pretty manky wet weather with virtually no sun, we finally have some better conditions for a few half-decent pictures. Anyway, this is where I’ve been hanging out since January 17th, back at Snowy Waters Lodge in Raetihi, in the Ruapehu district. I was here for about a week in late November…

My current housesit sees me on a lifestyle block amongst the hills of rural Glen Murray, in the Waikato. I’m here until the weekend then it’s back down to Raetihi. It’s nice out here in Glen Murray. It can be quite remote with the nearest supermarket (Te Kauwhata New World) being a good 40-minute drive…

My current house sit sees me back on a repeat property for a fortnight. This is my second visit here and for pretty much the exact same dates as last time. This is a rural home in the Whatawhata district, with a quick 10-minute drive to the shops in Dinsdale, Hamilton. It’s good to be…
