My home is a comfortable, modern four-bedroom house in a quiet private lane in Hamilton, New Zealand. It's a peaceful neighbourhood with lovely neighbours and is conveniently located close to supermarkets, cafés, parks, and the Waikato River walking trails.

The house has everything you'll need for a comfortable stay, including reliable Wi-Fi, ducted heating and air conditioning, a fully equipped kitchen, and a fully fenced section where Radar can safely enjoy the outdoors.

There's secure off-street parking, including a garage with space for at least one vehicle. If you enjoy keeping active, you're welcome to use the home gym equipment, including a treadmill, exercise bike, and portable infrared sauna.

Hamilton is an excellent base for exploring the central North Island. The beautiful Hamilton Gardens are only a short drive away, and popular day trips include Hobbiton, the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, Raglan's beaches, and Rotorua's geothermal attractions.

Whether you're looking to relax at home or explore the region, you'll have a comfortable place to return to each day—with Radar ready to welcome you home.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

I love how peaceful the neighbourhood is. Being on a quiet private lane means it's a lovely place to relax, while still being only a short drive from everything you need. There are plenty of great walking areas nearby, including the Waikato River trails, which Radar loves.

Our pets

DogsDogs (1)
Radar is a friendly, affectionate 4yr old Swedish Vallhund who loves people and enjoys being part of the family. He has a good routine and is happiest when that routine is maintained. He is fed twice a day, enjoys a daily walk, and loves playing with toys (especially sticks and his favourite flamingo!).

Radar is generally an easy dog to care for, but he does have a few quirks that I'll explain in detail before the sit. Like many herding breeds, he can be vocal and will bark if someone comes to the house or if something catches his attention. He can also be startled by loud noises such as fireworks.

If Radar picks up something he shouldn't have, the best approach is to calmly exchange it for a treat rather than trying to take it from him, as he can become possessive of prized items. This simple routine works well and avoids any issues.

Radar isn't crated and has free run of the house and fully fenced section. More than anything, he enjoys company and will happily spend the evening relaxing with you after his walk.

I'll provide a detailed care guide covering his routine, favourite games, local walking routes, and everything you need to know to help him feel happy and settled while I'm away.
