Bright, Victoria

Our needs are a bit different to the norm - if the location and dates are a good match for you; if you are a good communicator and easy-going, please get in touch so we can talk through the details of this unique situation.

We are a kind, busy and active family, who have jobs at Mount Hotham; our Winter obligations and lifestyle means that most nights of the week, we stay on mountain, with roughly 1 night at home each week. We hope to find a reliable house-sitter who will see the situation as win-win. A house mainly to yourself, but also the chance to get to know us a little bit.

Maggie - the 6 year old Kelpie is a loving dog, who needs a daily walk and someone to be home at night. She is used to us being out during the day for work, so you'll have plenty of time to explore our area during the day. She isn't good with kids, and can be aloof/assertive until she gets to know you (36 hours and you'll be besties). Hence this job will require someone experienced with dogs, and isn't suitable for a family.
We also have chickens who are pretty easy to look after - and will provide yummy eggs for you to eat (when the weather warms up a bit).

Bright is an amazing town with lots to do. Our house is a few minutes drive into town, or a 20 minute walk.
You'll sleep in the spare bedroom, which has ample cupboard space, a lamp, bedside table and small desk. There is only one bathroom. The rest of the house is a bright, light space with a lovely garden. Quiet and relaxing, or a home base for exploring. The house has a split system, and a wood fire for winter warmth. We don't have a microwave, air fryer or clothes dryer.

We have lots of flexibility with dates and how this might work, so please reach out if you're able to help us out with Maggie and the chooks. Read more...
