About

Semi rural, 2-1/2 acres, 1-1/2 km from Gisborne in a court of 6 similar size homes and gardens.
Our home is passively cooled (but some rooms have overhead fans) and a wood-burning firebox is great if it gets cold.
27 year old house with beautiful trees, lawns and garden beds. Lots of bird life.
Located about 1-1/2 km from Gisborne.
Local bus to town and station available at specific times.
Train to/from Melbourne runs hourly and it is an hour’s trip by train to the city.
Would like mail collected, garden watered and a person(s) who likes living in a civilised decor. Small children may not be suitable for this house though..

From 23/12 to 31/12 there will be two older male, neutered cats, who do not go outside, to look after. They are both quite shy, but friendly when they get to know you.
Police check and references required.

Pets & farm animals

Two aged male neutered cats - a little shy at first. However, this would be from 23/12 only. The cats never go outside.

House Tasks

Collect mail; it would be great if you could mow the lawn if it is still green at time of house-sit (ride-on mower) but this is not imperative. Water pot plants (and garden beds if extremely hot.)
