Maryborough, Queensland

About this house sitting position in MARYBOROUGH

Do you love old Queenslanders and gorgeous sub-tropical gardens? Then this housesit is for you! I have a beautiful old home within walking distance of the centre of town and a beautiful lush garden. I need someone to look after it while I am overseas for an extended period. There is a nature strip that needs mowing once a fortnight and there is some twice weekly hand watering of the hanging baskets and pots in the garden. If it doesn't rain then a watering system needs to used weekly but you simply need to attach the hose and turn on the tap. There are vegie beds you can use if you wish to grow your own vegies but if you don't want to they will just be left empty. The house is very comfortable for one or two people and has two reverse cycle aircons. There is a 10m X 3m studio in the garden which I use for sewing and it has a piano too. I need someone in the house for security and to keep it clean and safe while I am away. The town has many amenities and has a few festivals in winter - Relish, Mary Poppins and a Cosplay one. Hervey Bay is only 30 minutes away and there is a bus if you don't have a car. K'Gari (Fraser Island) is easily accessible of the coast. It will be whale watching season and there will be the Whale Festival. Nearby Childers has a multi- cultural festival and a wildlife centre. Bundaberg is just over an hour’s drive with the Mon Repos turtle research centre and Bargara Beach. There is a fast train to Brisbane and an airport at Hervey Bay. I will pay the first $100 per month of the electricity bill (this is the usual amount of the bill in winter). The House Sitter must be a non-smoker and no pets or children. Read more...
