We need a house sitter

Adelaide - Adelaide Hills

Tim and Tania

We have a wonderful tidy country home overlooking the Murray River and the town of Mannum, approximately 10 minutes across the river. Mannum is 1&1/2 hrs from Adelaide. Murray bridge is approx 25mins with shopping, cinemas, restaurants etc. We have 3 bedrooms (1 with ensuite, 2 for our children) lounge, dining kitchen. At nights we sit on our patio which overlooks the river and watch the beautiful sunsets. It is very quiet and tranquil. We have 1 medium dog (female staff) & 2 little jack Russels (one female and one male). The female jack Russell is very old (16) and needs to be inside at night and really hot weather. They are all very friendly. We also have 4 loving cats (1 that lives outside (male), but loves coming in for smooches at night), and 3 females that come through a doggy door into the house and they cannot go outside). We also have 9 friendly chooks which you are welcome to have organic eggs every morning for breakfast. At the rear of our house we have a small lawn with 3 large garden beds and a fish pond (6 fish) and 2 tanks inside (1 fighting fish in one tank and 5 fish in the other). At front of house is another small garden of succulents. We do require watering and the animals taken care of. The town has wonderful curiosity shops, pubs, markets, bakeries, walking trails, and the Landscapes are beautiful. There are also zoos, animal sanctuaries in neighbouring towns, The Bend motorsport Park (30mins drive) and waterfalls close by as well as lovely swimming areas. There is plenty to see and do here and around Mannum. Home of the paddle steamers that do regular cruises up and down the river (also lunch & dinner). At New Years there is plenty of entertainment/bands etc or you can sit and watch the unbelievable fireworks display like we do from our A1 view patio (as we look directly opposite where they are fired from). All our families call our place the holiday home. We will be leaving early on the 27th, my dad will be house sitting at my mum's 4mins away, he can show you around and go through everything if you need help or have any problems. We will be returning on the 3rd in the Afternoon and are happy for you to stay back a day if you need to. We have outside PowerPoints if you need for your camper van or caravan. If you are looking for peace and tranquility our house is definitely it.

No rating Tania was lovely to deal with on the phone and in person, they have a lovely family and we really fell for little Baby, their small dog,Moonlight, and Juggy the cats -especially, Paul also loves chooks so he was happy. Their home was very comfortable even with very hot weather for most of our sit. Great aircon. The house was clean and tidy when we arrived and Tania so welcoming and friendly We did't sit on the verandah with the llovely view much, due to the heat, but did get a couple of ... MORE
