As Autumn begins, why not come and enjoy a relaxing housesit in our modest little cottage on the waterfront of beautiful Macleay Island in Moreton Bay, Queensland? Our usual (very popular) housesitter is booked up but is disappointed as she tells me that we are her favourite housesit! We live right next to the golf course too. Easy walk to fishing spots, short drive to the swimming beaches and you will have the use of our two door manual car. Fishing rods, crab pots and golf clubs supplied for the keen! Get to know our fascinating local birds and hand feed treats to some of them.

The successful applicant(s) will be charged with the care of our gorgeous, playful and energetic young cat 'Saphir' and friendly little pygmy python 'Sweeheart'. Sweetheart will not require any handling or feeding. She will just need to have her light turned on and off, her temperature checked and her water topped up. No garden care needed.

NBN Wifi included, tvs in lounge and bedroom have an Amazon firestick with Netflix etc. Powerful air conditioner in lounge. New kitchen with dishwasher.

MACLEAY ISLAND Brisbane, Queensland
Suburb Insights
Life on Macleay Island unfolds at a slow, rhythmic pace that suits a quiet house-sitting arrangement. Mornings usually begin with a slow stroll through the bushy trails of the island's many reserves, allowing your canine companions to explore the scent-heavy paths alongside you. The local environment rewards those who embrace a low-key routine. You might find yourself walking toward the shoreline to watch the tide change or heading to a quiet café strip for a coffee before returning to the sanctuary of a shaded backyard. Keeping a house and pets here feels intuitive when you settle into the island's gentle cadence. Long afternoons are best spent in the garden or resting in a cool living room while the local birdlife provides a constant soundtrack. When you need to venture off the island, the ferry links provide a reliable connection to the mainland, though most sitters find they rarely feel the urge to leave. Practicality meets peace in this coastal pocket, making it easy to maintain a steady care schedule for animals.
