About this house sitting position in Bowning

Welcome to our home at 1112.

We’re a semi-retired professional couple enjoying life in beautiful South Bowning in rural New South Wales. We love our house, our small 10 acre property, our little cat and four chooks... and we’d like to share them with you.

We love to cook, making bread, building and repairing things, amateur radio, growing things in the garden, soil health, science, aviation and being involved in lots of community groups in the area.

We also like to travel when we can, and have regular house sitters who love to come here when they can; none of them can come this time. So that might mean future opportunities as well.

So we decided to have house sitters staying while we are away, to feed our feline friend, keep an eye on the place, make sure that our ladies are happy, and that the garden survives.

We insist on non-smokers, and because pets and neighbours' livestock don’t mix, ask that you don’t bring any animals of your own.

While you are here you’ll have our guest bedroom with a queen-sized bed, your own bathroom and run of the large kitchen, a comfy lounge (with a 100 year old grand piano) and a family room with combustion heater in winter. The house has reverse cycle ducted air-conditioning and double glazing - so it's very comfortable in both Winter and Summer.

In return for sharing our place, you’ll look after our small menagerie (just the cat and chooks now), the veg patch and the garden around the house. Of course if you happen to enjoy gardening, it just about never stops on a rural property... but that's optional of course. Nowadays the chooks live in a fully automated enclosure, so they just need feeding (your food scraps and some grains) in the morning. The lady cat just needs the usual cat things.... food in the late afternoon, daily de-pooping of the kitty-litter and a top up of her water. She also insists on a morning five minute pat - we get followed around and meowed at every morning until that obligation is discharged.

Staying at our place is a good way to decide if the rural lifestyle is for you too or just a nice way to get away and enjoy the serenity.

Thanks for considering looking after our home and we hope you have a lovely time.

Cheers,

Elizabeth and Mark Read more...
