About this house sitting position in GULNARE

Can you help please? May suit Caravaners travelling either west or east of South Australia.
We are seeking a motivated couple to house and animal sit for us. Our youngest daughter and family live in Tasmania so we would like to spend time with them during August 2025. We are seeking House & Animal sitters from 1st August until 7th September 2025.
Our home is a 3 Bedroom Cottage on a large block with gardens, poultry and scenic views. Tending to poultry (ducks & chooks) daily e.g let out of pens in morning & putting them away again before dark. Feed & Water as required. Extensive notes are provided to assist with the morning & afternoon routine, plus we will spend at least 2 - 3 days with you before departing. We also have our much-loved rough coat Jack Russel – Scarlet. She is 4 years old.
Gardening & watering seasonal.
As this is a late winter sit, there will be some garden watering required, according to the season, temperatures and rainfall. We have quite an extensive fruit and vegetable garden. We do have a number of wicking (self-watering) beds which just require topping up so this helps. Sitters are welcome to help themselves to the seasonal fresh produce.
Gulnare is located 50kms north of the beautiful wine producing Clare Valley. We are 25kms from Crystal Brook; similar distance from Gladstone; 45km from Jamestown & 35km from Laura. Each place offers its own unique attractions.
There is a lot to see and do around our region:
The Heysen trail section Spalding to Wirrabarra Forest is within our vicinity. The Bundaleer Reservior offers opportunities for fishing & birding & is only 9kms from our Home.
Clare Valley with its popular wineries – we are 55km’s north of here.
Burra with its mining heritage - <60kms away
Nearby towns – Jamestown; Spalding; Gladstone; Laura & Crystal Brook all offer attractions/history & heritage of the region.

Caravanners are welcome or you can stay in our house.
We can supply referees.
Look forward to your response
Kind Regards
Sandy & Harry Osborn

“What an adventure looking after this menagerie. Thank goodness for Sandy’s detailed instructions. The animals were very well behaved and made us feel quite expert. Peace and quiet in the country with some lovely destinations not too far away made for a lovely break. The orientation with Sandy and Harry was a highlight and we couldn’t have wished for more accomodating hosts. Thanks for having us.? K & M ”

“Sandy and Harry, Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to care for your property and Charlot. I’m truly grateful for the trust you placed in me—it was a privilege to be entrusted with such a responsibility. Your clear and detailed instructions made the experience smooth and enjoyable. Nestled in the southern Flinders Ranges and surrounded by the charming towns of Clare, Crystal Brook, Burra, and Laura, your farm offered the chance to explore and connect with one of South Australia’s most historic regions. Caring for Charlot, along with the other animals and gardens, brought me great joy. It was also a meaningful opportunity to learn more about life on the land and appreciate the beauty of rural Australia. I’m sincerely thankful for the experience and would happily return to care for Charlot and your home again. Thank you once again for your generosity and trust.”
