Hi There,

We live in a 4 bed, 3 bath house in Carcoar NSW. It's a restored and renovated Victorian home circa 1860s.

We have two Italian Greyhounds (Minnie and Cricket pictured), and seven chickens.

About Carcoar -

"The picture-perfect village of Carcoar is nestled in a small sheltered valley beside the meandering Belubula River. A true historic gem, it is the third-oldest settlement west of the Blue Mountains. With a spectacular backdrop of rolling green hills, it is easy to see why the area was a drawcard for early settlers. The town has been classified by the National Trust because of its large number of preserved 19th century buildings.
A wonderful way to experience the village is with a walking tour, with maps being available from the National Trust. Highlights include well-preserved Georgian buildings along the main street, St Paul's Anglican Church built in 1848, the century-old courthouse, and the 1849 convict-built stables of Stoke House, believed to be the oldest building in the village.

The town is fast becoming a popular destination for Sunday drives. Though beautiful throughout the year, autumn is particularly lovely, as the fresh Carcoar weather turns the numerous European trees magnificent shades of red and gold.

The town offers a small but sophisticated shopping experience, with well- curated homewares stores alongside mid-century style handcrafted timber furniture studios. Carcoar accommodation is plentiful and varied. The town has wide range of options, from restored heritage buildings to charming B&Bs.

There is an excellent array of festivals held in Carcoar throughout the year, many of which have a charming old-world quality. The Carcoar Show, currently in its 141st year, features working dog and shearing competitions, vintage car displays and a keenly-contested baking competition. Similarly, Carcoar's popular Australia Day festivities include stagecoach rides, live music, dress-ups and historical bushranger reenactments.

Nearby Carcoar Dam is a popular destination for fishing, camping and water-skiing, with picnics and BBQ facilities available."

Look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Peter

Terry & I really enjoyed our Housesit in Carcoar. The house was absolutely beautiful and comfortable. The three dogs were very cute & playful & Were easy to care for and lots of cuddles. The chickens & rosters were easy as well. Communication was each day via text and instructions on pet care & home very easy to follow.. We would highly recommend this Housesit. We feel privileged to meet lots of locals around town, recommend restaurants, pub and cafe. Thank you Peter & Micaela.

We would gladly house sit for Peter & Michaela again. They have a beautiful house and property and we loved looking after their two minuture greyhounds, Minnie & Cricket. Their communication was spot on and we loved staying in Carcoar.

Delightful couple to sit for. Great communication between us over the time. Beautiful home, handy to shops. Gorgeous dogs, super affectionate and cute. I enjoyed the lovely garden and the cheeky chickens on their evening stroll around the garden. I would be very happy to sit for them again In the future.

We have house sat twice for Pete and Micaela and had a lovely week both times. The house is gorgeous, with views of trees, hills, sky and picturesque old buildings. Beautiful big garden with chooks wandering through and the pretty little Belubula River running along the bottom. Carcoar is a quiet, small, historic town, and has some excellent hills for daily walking. The house had everything you could want in the way of facilities, including comfortable beds and good reading couches (well ... MORE

No rating One of the loveliest couples ever. Peter and Micaela, invited me in to their inner city home to look after their gorgeous Italian greyhounds.They made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Pups are such good company and loved looking after them. Will help out at any time.
