We have an older 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home. Back house down the driveway full of privacy, fenced for the pets and lawn/outdoor seating and bbq for the warmer days. The home is equipped with aircon for our summer sitters along with Sky TV and WiFi.
Kitchen is a classic 90’s kitchen with everything you need and the extra appliances are all available, if longer stays require a double fridge and chest freezer is in the garage. We have a home gym, full laundry and a study desk if required. The spare room is purely used for guests, always fresh linen and will be a place to call yours during any stays.

We’re hoping for a loving couple happy to enjoy the summer festive season in our wee home 100 meters from Papamoa Beach that we can trust will provide the attention and comfort for our big German Shepherd, Rico and our low maintenance cat, lucky.
Rico enjoys his two walks per day, 30-45 mins per walk, loves to swim at the beach and to shake off his zoomies before bed time. He’s happily left at home with access to outside during the day so you don’t feel the need to permanently be at home. Lucky is our low maintenance guy, loves his treats, eats on his own schedule and comes home at night to sleep on the bed.
Along with that, is our simple little home walking distance to the beach, local shops and pub/cafes. WiFi, sky TV and aircon is available.
