We live in the lovely Towamba Valley, inland from Merimbula and Eden on the far south coast of NSW. It is the best of both worlds, being quiet and peaceful but just a 35 minute drive to the lovely beaches of the Sapphire Coast. As we will be away in the colder months we require sitters who are used to wood heating systems as that is what ours is. There is also a wood and an electric stove.
Your pet/s are welcome as mine are used to visitors although larger dogs might be safer as the fences are not completely dog proof for small dogs. Families also welcome. Our home is 100 years old but has had work done it in the last 20 years, including insulation in the roof. There is an automatic washing machine, air- conditioner in the main part of the house as well as NBN satellite broadband and VAST free to air TV. There is a large vegie garden and their should be some winter vegies growing for our house-sitters. We have a friendly Maremma dog, two big fluffy cats, five alpacas, some chickens and free range guinea-pigs. The main job is feeding and looking after the animals and this shouldn't take long each day. It is a lovely spot for a wonderful holiday with local markets each weekend as well as opportunities for bird watching,, bush walking and photography or art. I do have a studio space for anyone who would like to paint or draw or even try some pottery. We have two cars and we are happy for our sitters to use if required, particularly if you have a large car and want something a bit more fuel efficient for getting around locally. If you have a large van, the yard next to the house is almost flat and a good place to park while you stay in our home.
