Young Husband, South Australia

About this house sitting position in Young Husband

Houseboat and mini schanuzaer combination.
We have a lovely new houseboat based on the Murray River in South Australia moored in Kia Marina approximately 1.5 hrs west of Adelaide in Young Husband.
We are looking for somebody to look after our Minature schnauzer (Mia) whilst staying on the houseboat (or in your caravan next to the boat).

Mia is a 6 yr old mini schanuzer who is incredibly friendly and gets on well with the other dogs in the marina, and every person in the world! However, we prefer that you don't have your own pet onboard as some dogs like water a lot, plus chasing ducks / pelicans etc! Mia doesn't like getting wet, so she has no inclination to jump overboard and doesn't bark at the local wildlife (although she will bark a warning if people come close!).
An important thing to note is that you will not be permitted to drive the houseboat on the river (as our insurance doesn't allow this). You will be based at Kia Marina, and be living directly on the water. The boats next door are all hire boats so they will either be empty or out on the river, so it is very peaceful.
The houseboat sometimes gently sways in windy conditions, so you should be prepared for that.
The houseboat is 3 bedroom (but one is used as an office), it has 2 living areas and mostly new furniture with big screen entertainment. There are no gardens to maintain, and no maintenance should be required during your stay.
You can fish directly off the houseboat back deck. There is also a great community here with opportunity to socialise if you wish, with regular communal drinks or equally you can keep completely to yourself. This is a gated community. We prefer a single or a couple (no extra people permitted).
The peace and quiet is next level and the stars at night are amazing. Read more...
