Recently retired from our own New Zealand iconic national gardening business, we are looking to spend more time travelling in NZ and Australia. We have previously done house siting in New Zealand and England and have had house sitters look after our property whilst we are away. We are wanting to try a few small house swaps in New Zealand and Australia.
We have extensive hospitality and property management experience and still own and manage a number of properties in NZ, including our own executive home on an acre of landscaped gardens. We own one very friendly lovely black pussycat.
We have done quite a lot of house sitting in NZ, England and one in France. References for these can are on Trusted Housesitters, UK Housesitters & NZ Housesitters websites. Here is one link: https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/house-and-pet-sitters/new-zealand/bay-of-plenty/tauranga/l/568139/

Read More...You will not be disappointed exchanging with Liz and Geoff in Tauranga!! The exchange offers an expansive peaceful and very private home situated in a leafy tree-lined street, several kilometres from the centre of Tauranga. The 3,000 sq metre garden is outstanding and the home is generous in size and decorated in an attractive 'country home' style. Brother (the cat) proved a welcome companion and we loved being able to pick tomatoes, lemons and herbs from the vegie garden. The queen bed was very comfortable. A car is necessary for this exchange as there are no buses into town from here. However, local shops provided everything we needed. As it was extremely hot during our stay we welcomed the shade and rest there; even watering the garden for our hosts was a cooling pleasure. Many thanks Liz and Geoff.

Their home is wonderful, and the garden is a very special place to enjoy the peace and quiet, greenery, landscaping, lots of tuis in the tree, as well as a couple of visiting rosellas. All mod cons in the very comfortable house. Brother the cat was the perfect "borrowed" pet.
