South Western Victoria - Ballarat

Meg

Lovely House-sitter Apply! Tuscan Boho Farm Daylesford Area

We are 12 minutes drive from tourist town "Daylesford", and 30 minutes from Ballarat, 1 hour 20 mins Melbourne.

Looking for trustworthy and loving person or couple (caravan welcome) to look after our beautiful Japanese Spitz, Bear, and 3 cats, Tilly and Pumpkin, and Edward. (Our 12 horses and kangaroos will be fed and watered, cared for, by animal-carer daily, so you need need to worry about horses and kangaroos, but can see and meet them!)

House is attractive boho feel, neutral tones wooden floor and cream walls, shutters, Tuscan feel, comfortable, 3 BR. Sunroom is great for reading in winter-warm sunny days, inground pool but freezing in june/july/august, so you wont be using it, but lovely to look at. Ducted heating. Pool. Sunroom.

Looking for AM and PM feeding / caring for animals, rest of time is yours! However, Bear likes company, so, preference is given to house-sitter who enjoys dogs and likes to be close and connected, as he will follow you around the home and property!
No special-need animals, just feeding and petting.

Wifi, Netflix, TV

Drive 12 minutes to Daylesford for a Lake walk, coffee or brunch, dayspa, visit the 'Mill Market' for vintage clothes and antiques, Take bush walk down the road, explore bush in Daylesford/Hepburn, eat at local resturants, visit convent gallery.

I visited Melbourne for couple of weeks for work and decided to stay away from the city and noise. I found the perfect little farm house at Meg's, located in gorgeous Daylesford. Meg and Noel were so kind and friendly and made sure my stay was very comfortable. Bear the fluff is a delightful dog, so cute. Very sad to leave his company and Edward and Tilly, the cats are so cuddly. Pumpkin (cat) is a wild girl but she will be friends with you in no time. House is very cozy, homely and serene. I ...

There is nothing better than life on a rual retreat. Loved spending time with the horses and helpng with their care. Bear the dog was our shadow and of couse the cats and bunnies were a bonus and fun to look after.During the day we were able to do so much exploring in the numerous towns and cycle trails. Meg was very welcoming on our arrival and easy to get along with. Thanks for choosing us Meg.
