South Eastern - Toowoomba & South Eastern

Bonnie

Two lovable and well loved kelpie dogs - Velvet black and tan) and Leather (silver) - live here and enjoy the run of the place. They sleep inside at night.

There are 9 peafowl (4 boys and 5 girls) and a female brush turkey that are wild but will eat from your hand. They sleep in the nearby trees and can be noisy.

The property is 40 acres with about 5 acres of tidied area. I live in a nicely furnished, air conditioned 4 room shed. The large bedroom has a queen and a king bed. A second bedroom has 2 single bunks and a queen bed. The bathroom has bath/shower, basin, toilet and washing machine. The kitchen is fully functional and has a dishwasher.

There is an undercover outdoor area with a heated swim spa.

There are also 3 other self contained cabins on the property and these will be unoccupied during the house sit.

The 2 closest towns with all amenities is Laidley, a 25 min drive and Gatton is 30 minutes in the other direction.

Forest Hill is 20 mins - A cute mini town with 2 pubs and 4 eating places but no supermarket.

I am 1.5 hours west of Brisbane, 1 hour from Toowoomba and 1 hour from Ipswich.

There is a 4WD available for your use.

These are the days I’m flying in and out of Brisbane. You are welcome to come a few days earlier and stay a few days later in one of the cottages onsite.

The dogs Velvet and Leather were delightful. The rustic home, and beautiful secluded property was more like a Sanctuary than a "job". You do need to be happy with your own company, nature, and love animals, which was easy for me. Having said that, the delightful little town of Forest Hill is only 20 mins away, and ... MORE
