Howard welcomes you!
I am a community involved gay man. I am a former trustee of the New Zealand Lesbian and Gay Archives (LAGANZ), and a former member of the board of Rainbow Wellington.
I am married to Mark Hutchins-Pond who is a senior art specialist at Webb's Auction House, Wellington. We have three cats - 2 Seal Burmese kittens and a 13 year old Ebony Mandalay.
My main career has been in IT, mainly in the Government Sector and and I also worked as a Senior Analyst on the GLBTI Policy Team for the NZ Government between ********. I am now retired, and living on our 4.5 acre property at Muhunoa East, just south of Levin. This property is largely native forest planted around 1990 with lawns and a stream flowing through it. This and the gardens surrounding the house keep me fully occupied.

Agency partner selected by misterb&b
Because we foster the largest community of global gay travelers, we want to ensure all are welcome anywhere we go. Full apartments are in high demand around the world. To help ensure you can travel and feel welcome anywhere, in addition to our gay and gay-friendly hosts, we’ve selected agencies to offer apartments in cities across the world.
Because gay is in our DNA we ask each agency to affirm their welcoming attitude and acceptance of our community by agreeing to the charter below:
- Checking this box certifies that the management and staff of your agency welcome all people regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity or expression
- Further you agree to challenge homophobic and transphobic behavior and ensure a positive and welcoming environment for our guests
- Through a courteous attitude, excluding judgment, your agency will work to ensure a peaceful stay for its LGBTQ+ clientele (information, safety, quality of service and discretion)
Stay like a gay local and feel welcome anywhere you go - misterb&b
