About this house sitting position in Blackwall

We live on the beautiful Central Coast, overlooking the Brisbane Waters, just one and a half hours north of Sydney.

My partner Ian and I are travelling over to Europe for four weeks and need someone to look after our cat “Millie” and our five very spoilt chickens. Millie is very low maintenance and mainly requires feeding twice a day. The rest of the day, she’s lazing around in the sun. We have automatic feeders for the chickens but they do love the kitchen scraps and getting let out to roam around in our backyard every afternoon. There’s also lots of lovely fresh eggs to collect ☺

While our house is rather large, it’s actually very low maintenance. We’ll have a friend popping in now and then to mow the lawn. Half our backyard is mulch, which the chickens love digging in. We usually need to rake over a few holes most days… a 5 minute job. The gardens are all well established so we only require that you give the lawn and the pot plants on the deck a water now and then to keep everything alive.

Two other main things to note. My elderly Uncle, Clyde, also lives on the property, downstairs in a fully self contained flat. (He’s unable to help out with Millie and the chooks so that's why we need some help) He’s also done lots of travelling in his time.

We also have an Airbnb right down the back of the property, which we plan to keep on running while we’re away. Check it out on Airbnb if you like. Its called “Unique Garden Studio”.

Your living space is completely separate from the studio down the back and my Uncle’s space.
Some of the old part of the house is still under renovation but the main living area, where you’ll be staying is completed and very comfortable.

We have a modern kitchen and bathroom, as well as a large open plan living area. This all opens out onto the back deck, which looks out through the trees and over the water.

The area is very quiet with Blackwall Mountain bush reserve behind us, however everything you need is really close by. Woy Woy train station, supermarkets, shops, Ettalong cinema complex, Ettalong markets, as well as many restaurants and café’s, are all only 5 minutes away. We’re also surrounded by many beautiful beaches.


If you’re interested in this house sit, we’d love to talk to you and hopefully spend some time with you before we leave.
