Hi,
We are looking for housesitters for our home and two Border Collies for approximately 8 weeks
commencing late MAY We are located at Lower Mangrove (near Spencer) on the Hawkesbury,
Central Coast. We are 35 minutes from the nearest major shopping centres (Gosford or
Tuggerah) and 60 minutes from Sydney North Shore minutes to Sydney City Centre). The
local village of Spencer is 5 minutes away and has a village store.
The property is 30 acres with absolute river frontage.
The house is 3 bedrooms, timber, sunny and lovely. It looks directly over the river and has a
private jetty. The river has plenty of fish and a two person canoe is available. The house
has all conveniences including a modern kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Heating is by a wood
burning slow combustion heater. Broadband Internet is provided - wireless LAN to connect your
laptop if you wish.
The most important task is to love and care for our two domestic Border Collies. It is
essential that you really love dogs. Our dogs are very friendly, obedient and loving. There
are also 3 chickens to feed and 5 cows to keep an eye on.
The garden is large (1 acre) but is largely dormant during the winter months. The main tasks
here would be watering, mowing (ride-on) and general care.
COUPLES ONLY PLEASE.
References from previous housesitting are essential.
