About this house sitting position in Newport
UPDATE. Due to the number of enquiries we are short-listing by only considering those who can provide reviews from previous house sitting engagements, whether here or from another site. End date is now 28 June.
Comfortable modern, non-smoking, home in quiet street, with small garden and courtyard.
Central heating, well equipped kitchen, coffee machine, large screen TV with Foxtel, through which you can also stream other media.
5g WiFi throughout the house. Home office with printer, and a view to the tree tops. Free on street parking.
We're close to the waterfront, and to Newport Lakes which is like a piece of the country in the city.
The house is walking distance to a junction train station, so they come every 5 mins, and also bus terminal. By express train, Southern Cross Station is under 15 minutes away.
5 minute walk to shops, restaurants, cafes, bakeries, pubs, wine bar. Also nearby are an arts centre, public library, tennis courts, parks, playgrounds.
Williamstown historic area and beach are less than 5 mins by car, or can be reached easily by bicycle.
Bike paths nearby go to City, North Melbourne, Maribyrnong, Altona, Hobsons Bay Coastal Trail. We can arrange a bike to loan you during your stay.
Most importantly we have 2 beloved and timid rescue cats to care for - the elder one requiring (easy to use) insulin epipen at meal times.
One of them will hide in a cupboard until they get to know you, afterwards will spend a lot of time on their heated mats.
There are 4 goldfish in a small pond, they mind their own business but enjoy a weekly feeding. Our pot plants and small courtyard will need a weekly watering, but everything is provided.
No parties. Our neighbourhood is very much a safe, family and elder friendly spot. Read more...
