Skipper sitting - Nov/Dec 2017

Super moon over Tasman Bay
We made our way back to Motueka and a housesit on the Takaka Hills.  We enjoy Mot, not only because they have the best real fruit ice creams in the country!

This housesit turned out to be beyond our expectations.  It is a property with the most amazing views over Tasman Bay.  The house is off-grid, a concept we appreciate very much and there is an Air BnB accommodation on the property.  We use Air BnB and if we had booked this site we would be delighted to arrive to such splendor.   If anyone is looking for a place to stay in the Tasman area we can highly recommend ...... Bronhaul Eco Retreat

Our charge here was a wee guy called Skipper.
What a cutie pie!
Skippy is getting on in years now and not as sharp as he used to be but this did not stop him bringing in a family of baby rabbits, one at a time, then staking out their burrow.  We were also treated to an early morning wake up call by a couple of cheeky kea ....  who proceeded to try to dismantle the solar panels on the roof.  A couple of well aimed 'missiles' soon stopped that!

Naughty birdies



Tasman Bay from the front lawn
Our days consisted of taking Skipper for walks (carrying him home on the uphill slog) and wandering the hills at sunset, stalking deer and enjoying the great outdoors.
We sat and watched this big guy, plus a couple#
of young fallow spikers, for quite some time
Thank you Guy, Carolyn and Skipper for sharing your amazing lifestyle with us.
