We live in beautiful Stanley in northwest Tasmania and have a house near the sea. We need a house-sitter to look after our spoilt old labrador, two young cats, six chooks, and of course, the house. Stanley can be wild and windy in winter, though we have a well stocked wood heater and sunny house which make it pleasant. We have broadband internet access, piano, freeview digital TV and a DVD and music library if you are looking for home entertainment. Two beaches are within easy 5 minute walk from the house where we take the dog daily. We have a large garden and vegie patch if your interested in getting your hands muddy and eating fresh vegies (though not required if your not into it). Room enough to park a mobile home if necessary. Stanley has a lovely coastal golf course, plenty of heritage to explore, good eateries and fishing. There is a small supermarket in town for essentials and it is an easy drive to bigger shops and services at Smithton or Burnie. Our travel dates are slightly flexible at this stage. We look forward to your response.
