About this house sitting position in Scrubby Creek

I'm looking for a mature and responsible person/persons to water gardens
and feed a few fish while I'm away. Also check, refill and clean water troughs for animals where necessary, it's usually done once a week. Also open the home paddock gate to let out some sheep(10) and the Maremma dog of a morning. There will be daily feeding required for the dog and some guinea fowl and sheep.
This is a 20acre property where I rent the house.
The owners have a house on the property also. We are solely on tank water but have bore water for the gardens. A quiet spot with plenty of bird life. 15mins to Gympie and approximately 1hr to Noosa and Rainbow Beach. Kenilworth is also about an hour away, the Kenilworth Cheese factory is definitely worth a look. Feel free to contact me for further information ?

“Lesley's home is very comfortable and her gardens are beautiful. Opening the gate every morning for Monty and walking around the paddocks with him, sharing the view and having a chat was very special. It was a pleasure to house sit for Lesley. ”

“It is so beautiful at Scrubby Creek that I wonder why Lesley ever leaves the place. Monte, the maremma dog that looks after the sheep, was a wonderful bonus. He and I are good mates but you probably need some confidence to get to know him. He isn't my responsibility because the owners of the farm live in a cottage just below the house. Lesley is easy to communicate with. She has a lovely outdoor area and garden which which I didn't water much - we had 300mm of rain during November. I would love to house sit again sometime and intend to visit when Silvia and I are back in Oz together. A bonus is that dad grew up on a farm just across the hill from Scrubby Creek so all of the local place names are familiar. Thanks Lesley for the opportunity to visit and enjoy the area.”

It was a treat to have Lionel take care of my garden and interact with Monty. It was comforting to know I had a responsible and caring person to look after everything. I would have Lionel back and his wife next time in a heartbeat ?

“I loved every day I spent at Lesley's. Breathing in the views as I walked around the paddocks in the early morning. Counting the sheep and guinea fowls. Brief chats as I passed Monty the Meremma. Tending the cottage garden. The house was clean and neat and easy to keep that way. The neighbouring owners kind and friendly, without ever intruding. ”
