Description

Our house is on a quiet street at the city end of Karori, close to Kelburn and the tram down to the Wellington city centre. We are just over the hill from the Zealandia nature reserve so you will often hear kiwi at night. We are on Wrights Hill, which is excellent for walks and views of the whole of Wellington. Its a beautiful suburb. The house gets a lot of sun and has two decks. There is a spa pool and a pool table, a barbeque and off street parking. Two supermarkets are close (one km walk or bus). There is a bus stop 20 metres from the house.

We are looking for a nice person/couple to look after our house and animals while we are away. The dog and cat are great pets and incredibly affectionate. They want cuddles. Pepper hardly ever barks but will when someone comes to the door. While Pepper is a larger Labradoodle she is incredibly sweet and has never bitten anything other than her food. Chewy, the cat, is very affectionate. The pets need feeding and watering twice a day, (morning and dinner time). We will need Pepper to be taken for a daily walk (okay to miss the odd day). You will need to clean up after Pepper. She never stopped doing her business on the bottom deck :). We have a shovel to make that lovely job easier. That can be done once a week. The house is low/no maintenance. There is solar power and the spa won’t need any maintenance while we are away.
