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…
House Sitting In Te Awamutu
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…
House Sitting In Gordonton
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….
Raetihi – Second Visit
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…
House Sitting In Glen Murray
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…
House Sitting In Whatawhata – Second Visit
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…
Farm Sitting In Walton
I moved to a new farm sit just the other day. This property is in the Walton locality, and about 10kms from Matamata. The owners have taken off to London for a few weeks to visit family. I’ll be looking after this place until just after Christmas. It’s a nice modern house, and a tidy…
House Sitting In Hamilton – Fitzroy
After a brilliant week staying in Raetihi, I’m now on to my next property, and this is my current abode. It’s a nice new house in a newish part of the suburb of Fitzroy, in Hamilton. They’re all modern homes around this area, and it’s surprisingly super quiet. You can hardly hear the cars going…
Raetihi
For the past several days I’ve been in Raetihi, a small town located about 12kms south west of Ohakune, in the Ruapehu district. My current assignment is not so much a house sit, but more of a lodge sit. 🙂 Where I’m currently staying is Snowy Waters Lodge, which is an old nurses home. Not…
House Sitting In Ohiwa
My seven week stay at Rongotea has come to an end. Everything went really well and the owners have already booked me in for two more sits next year so I’m looking forward to going back there, it’s a nice area. Anyway, I’ve gone from there straight onto a new house and farm sit. This…
