South Western Victoria - Ballarat

Jessica

Our home is a picturesque country property on 10 acres, surrounded by forest. Located only a 10 minute drive to the tourist town of Daylesford.

Our house is a modern, renovated and clean 4 bedroom home with a wood fire and heating/aircon. We have 2 dams and a seasonal creek. Fruit trees, berry orchard & vegetable garden. Watering daily and pick as much as you’d like

For the kids - Half basketball court, cricket pitch, football goals and a trampoline! Large outdoor deck to enjoy the lovely summer days and outdoor fire pit for cool nights

Dams are great for swimming in and Kayaks available

Duties include looking after our lovely low-maintenance animals - feeding the cat and rabbits. Filling up horses' troughs, feeding hay and general light care. We have 1 lovely free-ranging peacocks..

Our animals are low maintenance - just a quick morning and evening check and some food keeps them happy.

What a beautiful location to visit, Daylesford has the best food in Victoria! Absolutely loved looking after Sid, Gus and all the other farm animals, very sweet natured. Jess was very helpful and great to communicate with, would come back anytime.
 
RACHEL & PAUL (Aug 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
It was an absolute pleasure taking care of all the animals on this delightful property. The two dogs, Sid and Gus showered us with love and affecionate, which I bathed in and found it a delight when the cat, Puss Puss would come inside and they would all be competing for my attention. The horses were super friendly as well and seemed to really enjoy a daily carrot treat. The resident peacocks were always around and the two super soft bunnies were easy to take care of. The house was nicely ... MORE
 
MICHAEL & HELEN (Apr 2024 - 5 nights)
We had a great time at Jess and Chris's place. Lovely spacious, clean home with nice views over the gardens, fields and beyond. Jess and Chris were very friendly and easy going. There were very helpful printed instructions for the house and animal care. We loved all the farm animals and had a special treat of seeing 5 peachicks hatcing. Puss puss and the bunnies were easy care and good company.. Thanks Jess and Chris for entrusting us with the care of your property.
 
CATHY (Dec 2023 - 1 week 1 night)
We had a wonderful time in Korweinguboora sitting for Jess and Chris. A beautiful, tidy, well maintained, country property with plenty of relaxing spaces to enjoy the outdoors. We loved spending time here with the little menagerie of peacocks, turkeys, chooks, ducks, bunny rabbits, the two horses and Puss Puss. It was a joy to water the garden and veges in the evenings admiring some stunning orange sunsets as we did. We had easy to follow instructions with photos and felt very comfortable ... MORE

Jess has a lovely home comfortable and cosy. The garden has plenty to offer and the serenity is delightful. Jess was a pleasure and so welcoming. The best part hands down is Sid and Gus and enjoying their company. Both are super lovely, easy to look after, follow and listen to all instructions. Pus pus enjoys evening cuddles and is smoochy. My kids had an amazing time explore the yard with so much to do. It was our pleasure to house sit for Jess and we would be delighted to spending time with ... MORE

Beautiful home and lovely animals. Jess and Chris were very welcoming and their animals/gardens were a joy to look after. Fabulous location an easy 10 min drive to Daylesford and surrounds.
 
ERIN (Dec 2022 - 1.5 weeks)
We had a great time looking after the familys animals and beautiful home. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jessica who was extremely welcoming and helpful and helped us settle in to our stay. Their two golden retrievers brightened our day and were great company in the evenings and there was never a dull moment watching the peacocks, ducks, chickens and turkeys.
 
DEBBIE (Apr 2022 - 2 weeks)
Jess & Chris are gorgeous folk and their farm just outside of Daylesford so straightforward to look after. Their delightful pets included a gentle-natured horse, turkeys, ducks, chooks, peacocks, and a cat. It it was my absolute pleasure to help them get away with their 2 boys on a end-of-year family break. Definitely happy to help out again should Jess & Chris be looking to get away for a short break.

CATHERINE (CAT) (Dec 2021 - 1 week)
Jess and Chris have a lovely modern and spacious home on a small acreage property. They trusted us to care for their cat, horses and poultry and we were provided with clear instructions and plenty of feed for the animals. Their home was left in a neat and tidy condition for us and we had access to everything required for a comfortable stay. They were easily contactable by phone when we had a power outage caused by a storm and made every effort possible to ensure we were well looked after. ... MORE
 
HEATHER (Oct 2021 - 6 nights)
We had a very good stay in Jessica's house ! We enjoyed spending time in the paddock with the horses, and pet the baby chickens and the cat. The animals were all easy to care for. We also had many yummy lunches with what the garden had to offer. Jessica answered quickly all our questions so we felt secure. We recommend house sitting at her place !
