Aramoana Port Chalmers, Otago

Hi there,

I have a 2 year-old labradoodle called Ralphie and two four year-old Bengal-X cats who need someone loving to care for them for 10 weeks from 19 August while I'm away in Europe. Ralphie needs an hour to an hour and a half walk each day, which is why we live in such a beautiful beach location where there are lots of different walks to choose from. He is still a little puppy-like and is extremely friendly and cuddly - he is used to company so I'm looking for someone who will be home quite a bit. Aramoana is a small village with many friendly people to chat with on walks and yoga on Saturday mornings in the Aramoana Hall. Port Chalmers is the nearest town about 15 minutes away with a supermarket, pubs, cafes and shops. It is a 25 minutes drive into Dunedin. So, you will need your own car.

My place consists of a number of cabins - the main batch is the living and kitchen area and is new and fully insulated with a wood burner, then I have two wooden rail cabins for the study and laundry, and literally a ship's cabin for the main bedroom with an en-suite. It is all fully renovated and very comfortable, if a little unusual and quirky. I have excellent internet service. The garden is easy to look after and other than basic weeding and watering of pots and vege patch, I have someone who comes once a week/fortnight to help with jobs and take care of the place.

I'm happy to answer any questions, Vicki
