Māhina & Andre

Kia Ora -

We are friendly, caring family of three.

We are lovers of nature and spend any spare time we can in the bush, the garden, the ocean or the river . We also love playing music , writing , reading, crafting, gardening, and cooking wholesome food and living a healthy, peaceful, sustainable lifestyle.

With our current rental coming to an end we have decided to downsize our possesions and take the chance to do some house sitting and explore some other communities.

Andre works from home and we are a homeschooling family so we are able to be around a lot of the time and give plenty of attention to any animals and plants that need our love :) The home and animals left in our care will be our top priority.

Our 9 year old son Manu loves animals. We haven't been able to own one because of being renters, but as a result have ended up being minders for many friends and neighbours ! .. We have experience with cats , dogs and chickens and I ( Māhina ) grew up on a farm so am comfortable with farm animals too. ( lambs, sheep , farm dogs)

I (Māhina) also love to garden - plants are my passion - so I would be happy to do anything required in the garden while you are away too. I never get sick of weeding and tending to plants, and both Andre and I love to mow lawns - so you can rest assured your property will be well maintained.

We are happy to keep in regular contact if you wish and give you updates so that you can enjoy your holiday knowing your fur children/home/gardens are happy and well.

We are a clean and tidy family and you can be assured that your home will be cared for by us with the upmost respect and care.

We would love to have the opportunity to care for your home , animals , and gardens. By choosing us you would be helping our little family to have a home for a while and we would be very grateful .
