FPL is situated on a lifestyle block of 5 stunning hectares including lush paddocks, large gardens and mature trees - located about 7.5 km from Clevedon and just under 40 km from Auckland airport.

Anton has an abundance of experience with animals, serving 12 years as a dog handler in the South African Police Service, shortly after arriving in NZ he volunteered his services at the SPCA in Mangere. He also holds several degrees in business and management. Therefore, it is no surprise that managing FPL is based on modern and sustainable practises. Hence the slogan "We do not follow we lead" holds true for FPL.

We're the most affordable and serene Pet Stay in Auckland, offering a number of affordable solutions, whether you are looking at a day stay or for long term boarding when you are away.

We still have spaces available for October and December school holidays, so to avoid disappointment, we wish to remind all existing and new customers that they need to contact us as soon as possible to make a booking for their pet/s for these busy periods. Reservations for out of season periods can be made at shorter notice.

Congratulations to Andrea Martinisi as he is awarded New Zealand Sommelier of the Year 2021.

Andrea Martinisi is presented with the New Zealand Sommelier of the Year 2021 trophy by Marek Przyborek (NZ Sommelier of the Year 2018) and chair of the Examination Committee with Celia Hay, chair of New Zealand Sommeliers and Wine Professionals Association. Andrea is General Manager and Head Sommelier of The Grove Restaurant, Auckland. Marek is head sommelier at Amisfield, Central Otago.

The day started with the Theory Assessment (60 minutest) and Blind Tasting of 2 wines. The white wine was Saint Clair Pioneer Block Gewurztraminer 2020 from Marlborough and from Spain, Muga Seleccion Especial Rioja 2016. The Practical included a restaurant scenario to decant a bottle of Te Mata Awatea 2018 and provide a food pairing. This was made a little tricky as we also had a bottle Te Mata Awatea 2019 on the sideboard... to check if the candidates were reading the label!

The Practical also featured a spirit tasting where candidates were asked to identify 4 spirits. This year the spirits were Bacardi, Tequila Blanco, Jack Daniels, Calvados.
