Carterton South Wairarapa

Seeking housesitter to care for our Wairarapa lifestyle home and animals for 6 weeks over Christmas in 2024.

April is our beautiful Maremma sheepdog and she takes her security job seriously but is an inside fluffer when she gets to know you - we are potentially looking at having her off the property during the housesit. Bombur is a cat as large as his name suggests and he spends the day curled up on any of our beds, he is shy but very huggable and loves affection. We also have brown shaver chickens, guinea fowl, a handful of sheep and two calves. Duties are feeding dog, cat and poultry twice a day and checking the water troughs for the stock periodically and doing a count up. Watering a few house plants periodically and minimal gardening unless it's your passion.

Our home has Starlink wifi which we use for business. Air conditioners, Bbq and Netflix.

We have a 3 bedroom comfortable home on 8 acres, 10 minutes from Carterton and Masterton, with a rural outlook, just a stone's throw from the beautiful Tararua ranges - great for walks or overnight hikes. There is a fabulous swimming hole there as well.

We are a 15 minute drive from iconic and historical Greytown for boutique shopping and chocolate shop, 25 min drive to some of the best wineries and Lighthouse gin distillery in Martinborough, 1 hour to the east coast beaches of Riversdale and Castlepoint, and 1.5 hours drive to Wellington.
