Kalbar, Queensland

About this house sitting position in Kalbar

We are newly retired and have purchased a base for our life.
We are still travelling however and would like a house sitter to come and live in our home while we are away over Winter 2020
This is a long placement and represents almost 5 months of free accomodation in South East Queensland
It would suite a couple who would enjoy a base in Queensland for the Winter. Perhaps you have family nearby and would enjoy living closer to them for while?
We do not have any pets (other than chooks and goldfish) at this stage and our main reason for requiring a housesitter is to maintain our extensive garden.
This would suit a couple who love gardens and growing things as much as we do and who will enjoy being quite self sufficient, harvesting, planting and maintaining.
We would like to return to a garden planted out ready for the Springs and bursting with life.
We operate on a chemical free organic basis with no artificial fertilisers or herbicides
We propose a couple as we feel there is too much work for a single person, especially an older female with digging, weeding etc. It would end up a chore for one, or an enjoyable occupation for two.
Our home is a 2-3 bedroom Queenslander in a quiet rural area with all services, about an hour from Brisbane.
It is a lovely community with great neighbours for support.
We will also be contactable during the time we are away for any queries or questions or just to hear how it is going.
The previous owner had pet dogs and the property is secure if you have your own dog.
We would prefer that pets do not come inside and would request NO CATS due to our encouragement of a safe environment for local birds
We would also ask that the home be kept as clean and in current order as possible
We would want to meet our house sitters before departing if possible and would like sitters to assist with power and gas charges during the stay

We look forward to receiving interest in our proposal
