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…
House Sitting In Koputaroa
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…
House Sitting In Glen Murray – Second Visit
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…
