Our home

We have a house on the Hibiscus Coast just 5-10 min walk to arguably one of the best and safest beaches.

Big back yard that is home to 4 hens. They need minimum attention other than changing water and feed every couple of days.

We also have a friendly 5 year old border collie - Naki.
She needs a decent walk every day. Loves fetch! Loves a swim at the beach.

The house has 1 double room and 2x single rooms.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

Stanmore Bay is a great place to live and is a great place to visit.
Beaches on both sides of the peninsula mean that you can always escape any wind.

Close to Auckland but also far enough away.

Border Collie - Naki. Requires some attention every day. A good 40 min walk. Preferably some time off lead chasing a ball
4 Chooks. Need food and water checked every second day as minimum, We do let them out every now and again, it’s fine for them to stay in the coop the entire time. There is plenty of space for them.

Our garden

Average - Would like the lawns mowed once.

About us

We are a family of four. Two boys that are football mad so there is a lot of footballs in the back yard. Love the proximity to the beach and the easy life up on the coast.

MICHELLE & PAUL (Jul 2026 - 4 nights)

Naki was an absolute darling to look after. She is well behaved & obedient with commands. She loves her beach walks and swims in the ocean and plays fetch, she will bring the ball back. Pete & Jenny were awesome with communication and left clear instructions. The fire place was amazing on the cold nights and the view was spectacular.

PAULINA & PAUL (May 2026 - 3 nights)

We really enjoyed looking after Naki - a 4 year old beautiful Border Collie in a clean, cosy, and comfortable family home near the beach at Stanmore Bay. We had all the information needed to take care of Naki - clear communication from Jen and Pete meant everything went smoothly and we were so sad to say goodbye to their lovely dog.

Really enjoyed looking after Pete and Jenny's wonderful dog Naki. She was a delightful, intelligent and entertaining animal who just loved catching balls. We walked her twice a day and with a great beach and park just a short distance away it was a pleasure to do so. We loved the area as shops, cafe's and restaurants were only a short drive away. Their home was comfortable and their coffee machine was to die for! Pete & Jenny were easy to deal with and great communicators. All in all a good ...
