About
Sadly, after 20 years house sitting for us J*** & R** have gone into sitting retirement … understandably with Ron now 88 y.o., so we are looking for someone/s to fill the void.
We are away for two week stints 4-6 times per year and whilst very open to occasional sitters we would love to find another couple like J*** & R**.
We live on a 150 acre property just 80kms NW of Melbourne, ideally suited to someone/s that would like to escape suburbia, or if rural, being closer to town for the odd day trip.
The hard part is that we have two small dogs needing love and attention – we hate leaving them. Rosey and Sampson are adorable and looking for new friends to look after them – could this be you?
The farm and gardens are managed by others so there is not a lot else to do other than to enjoy the beautiful Macedon Ranges & Goldfields regions of Victoria. Country living but only 10 minutes from Coles, pubs, wineries, restaurants in Woodend, Kyneton & Trentham (voted best small town in Victoria). Perhaps even a round or two of golf at our local Trentham golf club, which is highly rated and was enjoyed by J*** & R**.
J*** & R** would be more than happy to provide a reference.
The home is small (easily maintained) and recently renovated with most mod cons including StarLink & pay tv.
Please let us know if this sounds of interest.
Thanks
Denise & Steven
