Home of an sculptor and world traveller. Situated on a quiet street, overlooking the city of Launceston and the Tamar valley. Basic tasks will involve - Maintaining house security - Care of a sweet Burmese cat, who comes and goes through a cat flap. No kitty litter involved. - Lots of indoor greenery to enjoy and watch over, plus a fernery and garden partially covered by an irrigation system.
Ten minutes walk from the beautiful Cataract George which has hiking trails, swimming pool, a cafe and is a lovely walk to town For a more direct route, walk down the hill to the city centre (ten minutes) or catch a bus at the end of the street (2 minutes) A supermarket is around the corner with fresh produce and meat launceston is a very walkable university city with many parks, a river frontage , and much nineteenth century architecture. Regular bus service to the Capital Hobart, with it's all year round delights Housesitting responsibilities should leave plenty of time and opportunity for experiencing the island. The circa 1900, rambling single bedroom house,is rather rustic, but has all mod cons, including a wood stove to curl up in front of for the coldest months. I have been travelling for many years off and on, and all housesitters have been happy to spend time in my house see my posted photos of the house and city
