About this house sitting position in Forest Range
Our small farm property is in a beautiful part of the Adelaide Hills, but only 29km from the CBD. Barnsley, our Airedale dog also calls our little bit of paradise home. Barnsley is 8 years old, looks like a big cuddly teddy bear and is an easy going, friendly fellow.
There are about 30 chooks in a large enclosure so you will always have plenty of fresh eggs. They pretty much take care of themselves- just need their water and feed replenishing every few days.
There are 12 sheep and 3 lambs happily grazing their hillside paddock- they don't need any attention other than an occasional head count from the distance to make sure they're all still there.
Our home is a renovated 100 year + Federation style house with 4 bedrooms, large farmhouse kitchen, dining room, lounge and study- wi fi available. We have recently had a large deck built under the verandah where you can relax and enjoy the view over the orchard and listen to the birds sing. If you love nature and a peaceful setting, whilst still being a short drive from the bustle of the city when you need it, then you will enjoy our home.
Our main need is for someone to care for Barnsley and possibly water the garden/pot plants if the weather gets warm. Read more...

Reviews for Sally
Bingley liked his exercise which was great with our two dogs and the chickens gave us eggs. .. it was a rather cold and wet July and August, took a bit of time to master the farmhouse wood heating system .lovely area but take care around the corners - the roads can be quite treacherous especially with a caravan. The trucks and cars don’t always stick to their side of the road !
Thanks for letting us stay, Sally ..” - Read more
