Bay of Plenty - Tauranga

Andrew & Chris

3 bedroom farm house on a working dairy farm, We have 4 dogs, ( 1 Jack Russells, 1 retired Huntaway & 2 Border terriers) along with 3 cats. 3 chickens & a fish pond & small fish tank. You don't have to worry about any of the farm stock as staff live on farm and look after them. The dogs enjoy a walk over the farm and the cats love their food bowls attended to between their sleeps.
We are situated 5 min from Te Puke - 10 mins to Papamoa beach. 20 to Main Mount beach so in a handy spot for getting around.
We are looking for someone who can take care of the pets and keep the house lived in while were away, while you have a chance to enjoy the sights and activities the western BOP has to offer.
Staff live on the farm so there is always someone available if you need any info or help. You must have your own transport as we don't have any locally.

Thank you Andrew and Chris for your hospitality and your good clear instructions for the animal care. Loved our time in the Te Puke area and the helpfulness and friendliness of Belinda and everyone else we met. We really enjoyed our time looking after the house, garden and animals who we are going to miss after getting to know all their little quirks and individual personalities. Thanks for giving us the opportunity.

So many things! Andrew and Chris are amazing, just kind and loving people who open their beautiful house and garden and animals to the right people. It is truly an honor for anyone to stay there. They also let us stay another night just to be kind so we wouldn't have to move somewhere else the night they returned. Their farm is a wonderland and the 5 dogs and 3 cats are so loving and friendly and trusting and easy to watch. Their ranch hand, Belinda, is warm and helpful as well. We highly ... MORE

No rating Fantastic location, easy to get around. I hardly saw the older cats but the friendly little kitten was all over me. The dogs were easy to look after. Thanks.

Dear Andrew & Chris Thank you both for a most enjoyable house sit. We both fell in love with all your fur babies and so enjoyed having Oscar sleep with us most nights. Thank you also for letting us do a little bit of gardening (so miss that when we live in a motor home) We hope the trees we planted survive!!! Lol We would gladly sit again for you. Kind regards Adrian & Jackie

We thoroughly enjoyed looking after Andrew's pets on the farm. The dogs are real characters; lively, affectionate and great fun. We're really missing them! The cats are independent and easy going and the accommodation is clean and comfortable. We hope to return one day. Highly recommended.
