Our 2 year old home is on a near new estate about two kilometres from the town centre. It has three bedrooms and a study, master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe. It is fully air conditioned and has an automatic garden and lawn sprinkler system. There is also a double car garage with remote control. Our local lawn mower man looks after the lawns as required.
We are looking for a retired non-smoking couple (no pets), with house sitting experience to look after our home and if you are looking for an assignment where apart from normal household chores, all you have to do is house sit and explore Bundaberg and surrounds at your leisure, then this could be it.
Bundaberg has several worthwhile tourist attractions, the most famous being the Bundaberg Rum Distillery. Bundaberg and is located around 17 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean which provides a fantastic sea breeze almost every evening. The southern end of the Great Barrier Reef starts nearby and can be accessed from the Town of Hervey Bay, Maryborough, Childers, Gin Gin, the Town of and Gladstone are all within about hours drive from Bundaberg.
We need our sitter couple to be flexible in regards to the duration of the sit. The reason for this is that we are about to “put-our-toes- in-the-water” and take the first step toward our dream of caravanning around Australia. Until we give it a go, we are not sure if we are cut out for this kind of lifestyle.
The minimum period for the house sit would be 3 months, but this could extend out to 6 or 12 months if we want to continue our travels. Any extensions would be by agreement with our sitters.
The only costs to be borne by our sitters would relate to the telephone, electricity and internet access.
