Where the day begins... Gisborne is the first city in the world to see the sun rise, and Mount Hikurangi, at 1754 metres, is the first place in New Zealand that welcomes the new day.

It is remote, wild and pristine, irresistible for anyone wanting to get away from it all.

Pet Sitting and House Sitting in East Cape, New Zealand

Maori culture goes back centuries here; the remoteness of the place helping to preserve the lands and traditions of the local Maori people. Travellers through the region will notice the strong Maori presence in everything from historical monuments to beautifully carved buildings and the use of the old language, Te Reo.

Better for the pets

Pet sitting means that the sitter is living in the pet's home while the owner is away. The pets get to stay in their own familiar environment, with human company and love—making it the very best option for the pet's health and emotional well-being, in most cases.

Free for owners

It is 100% free for owners join and find pet sitters—and the pet sitters will usually sit for free. Oh, and they provide in-house security and garden maintenance at the same time.

Attractions of East Cape

East Cape is a region full of stunning natural beauty. To dive right in, you should visit the Urewera National Park, one of 14 national parks in New Zealand, and one of the largest.

You could also go tramping in the lake areas. Two of the most popular Kiwi lakes are here—Lake Waikareiti and Lake Waikaremoana. Some other areas in the vicinity that need to be visited include Te Araroa, Waihau Bay, Hicks Bay, Tikitiki, Whangaparaoa Beach, the Tolaga Bay, Ruatoria and Tokomaru Bay.

And then there's the fishing, the surfing, the Chardonnay and the chance to do absolutely nothing - for a very long time.
