Assignment Requirements

Experience country life, clean air, and bright stars in country NSW.

You will have your own space in a 3-year-old, brick, one-bedroom, self-contained cottage beside the main homestead on a rural property. The fully furnished cottage contains a refrigerator/freezer, microwave, induction stove top, oven, smart TV, king-size bed, air conditioning/heating, and internet/wifi, with good Telstra and Optus phone coverage. You will have access to a washing machine and dryer in the main house, BBQ, and outdoor entertainment area with open fire to sit back and have a wine.

There is a great view from your veranda and a big country garden to relax in.

The Harden area will be beautifully yellow at this time of year with the canola flowering.

The cottage is on a working farm with sheep, cattle and canola and wheat crops that will be managed by our employee.

You will be required to care for our large, but friendly maremma (Jovi).

You will require your own vehicle. There is a carport near the cottage.

Suburb Insights
In Harden, your day often begins with the crisp country air and the gentle sounds of the rural landscape. Taking the resident dog for its morning walk becomes a peaceful ritual along quiet residential streets, perhaps towards Memorial Park where gum trees offer shade. The absence of bustling traffic allows for unhurried exploration, ensuring both you and your furry charge start the day refreshed. A brief stroll from most homes will lead you to the local IGA for daily necessities or a warm coffee at one of the main street's welcoming stops. Caring for pets here means understanding their comfort in a quieter environment; the lack of loud city noises is a distinct advantage. Midday might involve tending to the garden or simply enjoying the stillness from the veranda, observing the local birdlife. Evenings unfold gently, often under a vast, star-filled sky. Consider a longer afternoon walk along the country roads just beyond the town's edge, offering expansive views and a chance for more energetic pets to stretch their legs. Local life is unhurried, reflecting the agricultural rhythm of the surrounding area. You’ll find yourself adjusting to a pace that values quietude and genuine connection.
