About this house sitting position in Rosslea, Townsville

Custom built open plan tropical home with relaxed feel.
25 metre fully private lap pool and 1/4 acre easy care garden full of birds, including resident bowerbird and curlews. No pets to care for.

5 minute walk to river with long bike/walk paths and excellent parks. Coffee shop and pubs/restaurant close by. 3 min drive to golf course. Good fishing in nearby river, off the Strand beach or Reef. 10min drive to Strand beach and parkland. Magnetic Island (do yourself a favour!) 20 minute ferry ride.

We have a large pool which is self chlorinating. Should be fairly stable this time of year, but it will need weekly pH checks and acid adjustment, as well as checking chlorine levels. We have a robot cleaner to put in each week.

We have a small area of tropical garden and grass on timer irrigation, but will need hand watering of a small section of garden, and some house plants. As we have many trees, there will be leaves on the pathways. We have a blower. May need to mow weekly.

We have space that fits a Jayco JPod Camper, but would not be able to fit a larger van on site. Carparking off street for 1 vehicle.

Reviews for Peter and Kayleen (1 review)

5 stars stars
“Kay and Pete have a unique open style home set amongst the most glorious native gardens that they have designed themselves. It attracts bowerbirds, curlew families and lorikeets amongst many other species. The backyard is very private and peaceful. A large pool and open plan livingroom overlooking the pool made me feel like I was in a resort. Their home has all the usual cleaning and gardening for a standard block. The lawn takes only 15mins to mow. There is a cafe within 3 mins walk and is open for breakfast. All other conveniences are within 3-5 min drive. Best of all Kay and Pete are very kind, relaxed and welcoming people. I am very lucky to have found them and will definitely jump at another opportunity to spend time at their resort.”
