  • Description

    Description

    A small (under 1 hectare) rural property with a beautiful outlook over the river that needs a lot of garden maintenance. There may be odd jobs that could also be done as well from time to time and, depending on the time of year, some cleaning of the house - windows and the outside of the house.
    The location is quite rural so transport would definitely be recommended. It is half way between two very popular tourist cities - only about 1/2 hours drive away. The situation is lovely and quite and peaceful.
    There are lovely hot pools relatively close by and also many lovely walks as well as loads of tourist spots to visit.
