We are seeking an experienced couple to care for our home and large garden for approximately 2 and a half months in 2024.
We live on a 3 acre block of land which has a large garden and a paddock with sheep grazing. We require our home to be cared for and our small flock of 6 hens to be minded. Major gardening will not be required and the lawns will be done by a contractor. The sheep are cared for by a local farmer.
Our property is located just outside the Hamilton City boundary and there is a great cycleway at the end of our lane. We have a lovely cafe 10 minutes walk down the road and an excellent grocery store, pharmacy and doctor nearby. There is a top class golf course a short ten minute drive away.
The Waikato region is really well located for many day trips to local attractions like beaches, bush walks, glow worm caves, cycling, gardens and much more.
We are looking for a capable couple who are happy to stay in a semi rural location and who will be careful minders for our lovely home. You will have a pleasant ground floor bedroom with a king size bed and ensuite and will have the lounge, kitchen, dining and laundry areas of the house at your disposal. We have neighbours just over the fence so there is always help at hand if required.
Your own car would be necessary as public transport is very limited in our neighbourhood.
References and previous house sitting experience is required for this position.
We look forward to your application.
