House sit ASHTON

Living in Ashton means early mornings often bring a mist settling over the orchards, perfect for your first pet walk. The quiet roads leading up to Lobethal or along the local network offer gentle inclines, making for a refreshing start for both you and your charge. Watch for kangaroos grazing in the paddocks, especially at dawn. Returning home, the calm allows for a leisurely breakfast, perhaps with fresh apples from a roadside stall. This slower rhythm defines life here, providing ample time to settle pets into their routine. When the weekend arrives, exploring the wider Adelaide Hills becomes an easy extension of your daily walks. Montacute Conservation Park, a short drive away, provides extensive trails for longer hikes, ideal for an energetic dog to truly stretch its legs. Always check conditions before heading out, as tracks can vary. After an active morning, a drive through Uraidla or Lenswood offers glimpses of local life; consider picking up some local produce from a general store, excellent for a quiet evening meal back at the house. Evenings often involve the sound of crickets and a clear sky. A car is essential for getting around, whether for a quick trip to the Lobethal IGA for supplies or an afternoon drive exploring the scenic routes around Basket Range. Your days here will revolve around the outdoor environment, the needs of the animals, and the gentle pace of the Hills, far removed from city noise.
