About this house sitting position in Kuranda

We have 2 dogs, a red heeler cross and a Belgian Shepherd cross, both who get big (about 1 hour) walks in the bush nearby every day, as well as 4 rainbow lorikeets and 4 eclectus parrots. The walks in the forest are marked with flagging tapes so there is no concern about getting lost. Our house is in the rain forest near Cairns (about 40 minutes by car) and the area is beautiful and green. Gardens normally need little work during the wetter months but the veranda plants need some watering and general simple care once a week. The village of Kuranda is a tourist destination as well as the Barron Falls nearby, and the Atherton Tablelands about an hours' drive from Kuranda so there is lots to see in the local area. Shopping is about 15 minutes away by car at Smithfield Shopping Center where there are two supermarkets, a K Mart and lots of the usual shopping centre type stores.
There is also a small supermarket in Kuranda. This house sit would be ideal for an outdoor-loving and early-rising couple as birds get fed at around 7:30 and then again at 4:00. The animal care jobs take a maximum of 3 hours, total a day, considerably less if jobs are shared. Read more...

“We much enjoyed our stay at the, what we came to call, 'The Retreat' in Kuranda.
A lovely home to give you a sense of what living in the rainforest is like. Susan and Kobi showed us many different local places to explore during our stay.
The dogs were beautiful companions and we much enjoyed taking them on their daily bushwalk. The many birds were easy to care for once we got the routine down-pat; their bird calls just lovely to wake up to and hear throughout the day.
Susan and Kobi provided amazing hospitality before they left on their trip. Thankyou for taking care of us and thankyou for the experience of living in your home.
