Assignment Requirements

Please note change of dates. We are looking for a house sitter with their own caravan or motorhome to mind our historic house on one acre in beautiful Kiama. We can be flexible in the starting and ending dates. We have plenty of room for a caravan and we can supply power and water, as well as a laundry and bathroom. We are looking for someone who can look after the garden and collect the mail.

There is a very pleasant garden to enjoy, which we would ask you to weed and water, as well as trim and mow the lawn with a ride-on lawn mower. There would be minimal outside maintenance, mainly keeping the gutters clean and no internal cleaning.

Kiama is a pretty seaside town with a good range of shops and other amenities and is about 1 hour and 45 minutes from Sydney and about 40km south of Wollongong. We are at the outskirts of Kiama with cows and horses up the road. There is a bus at the end of the street and Kiama Railway will take you into Sydney or down to Nowra. Kiama has an excellent range of services, as well as tourist facilities. To the west are the Southern Highlands with lots of villages to explore and to the south is the Shoalhaven with little coastal villages to visit.

Our house is on an acre and was originally built in 1830 then added onto over the years. You will not be expected to do any work in the house, except to keep the laundry and bathroom clean. We have a long driveway and then space in front of the garages for caravan parking or you can camp on the level drive.

Suburb Insights
Your Kiama day often begins with the first light catching the ocean. A dog lead in hand, you'll find the Kiama Coast Walk just steps away from many residences, a path winding north past rocky inlets or south towards Surf Beach. The air smells of salt, a refreshing start for both you and your temporary companion on this well-trodden coastal path, offering clear views and plenty of space for a morning trot. After your walk, the compact town centre along Terralong Street beckons for a flat white. Grocery errands are a quick trip on foot; the main street holds what you'll need for daily provisions. Wednesdays bring the Kiama Farmers Market to Coronation Park, a chance to gather fresh produce without needing a car. Life here moves at a comfortable pace, making it easy to slip into a routine of caring for the home and its occupants. Afternoons might involve a quiet moment by the lighthouse, the ocean breeze a constant companion. For another pet outing, Kendalls Beach offers a different stretch of sand, often less exposed than Bombo. The train station, centrally located, provides an easy connection if you fancy an outing further afield without navigating traffic. Kiama settles into a gentle quiet as evening approaches, the sound of waves a steady backdrop to your stay.
