  • Description

    Description

    We live close to central Wellington (20 minute walk to the Botanic Gardens, 30 minute walk to CBD), and close to some beautiful native bush. We are a family of four (two teenagers).

    We also have two pets: Louie, a Cavapom born in May 2024, who absolutely loves other humans. Ivy, a snobby cat, who exists purely to be fed, but occasionally seeks out a warm body to sit on.

    We've travelled a lot over the years, and love meeting other travellers.

    Over the next few months (Feb - May), we might occasionally have some gardening work, or work clearing out rooms/garage, and sorting board games, or possibly pet sitting.
