About this house sitting position in Tarrengower

Brock, Salong and Wolfie the staghound live in Tarrengower, about an 8 minute drive outside the historic town of Maldon, Victoria. Our 1 hectare property is nestled between farming and bush pastures, with no visible neighbours and is under the constant gaze of Mt Tarrengower. We have established and new gardens so some time spent watering every few days would be great and we have three chickens that would need feeding, watering and daily egg collection. Our five year old dog is fine at home indoors for 5-6 hours at a time, so would require someone ideally that can work from home and not have to leave him for longer periods. We are fully fenced and he can roam the yard when accompanied, but he is not left outside. He loves to play ball a few times a day, only lasts for a few minutes, then happy sleeping most of the day. We have excellent internet and wifi, with a designated office as Salong works from home, two outdoor bbq's, firepit, bathtub, air-con, ceiling fans throughout and usually fresh eggs from the girls most days! Castlemaine is a 25 minute drive and Maldon has a small IGA, four cafes, pub, oldest running bakery in Australia and the usual tourist shop offerings. Bendigo is about 40 Minutes drive with all the big name retailers. We usually have edible greens in the small vegie garden too. Look forward to talking soon. Read more...

“What a wonderful housesit, Brock and Salong were just wonderful Great communication throughout, and they made sure we had everything we needed. Wolfie the dog was the easiest and the most endearing,lovable puppy Such a beautiful historic area, with so much to do, and we just loved relaxing in the peace and quiet watching the birds. Thankyou Salong and Brock for making our time in your gorgeous house so enjoyable. Xx”

Owners response
Sue and Stuart were absolutely wonderful and made us feel at ease from the first phone chat. We received regular updates and photos of Wolfie during our three weeks away and the house and gardens were spotlessly maintained. Wolfie was noticeably forlorn when they had to leave, but took comfort in the toys they had bought for him. Thank you for spoiling our hairy-faced Wolfie! I could not recommend Sue and Stuart more highly and hope we cross paths again in the future. What lovely humans and indeed careful custodians. XX Brock, Salong & Wolfie
