Toomuc Gully

If you love nature, horses and dogs my place is for you! I am located an hour from Melbourne. I am situated near the beautiful Dandenong Ranges, I am between Westernport and Port Philip Bay, close to Bunyip State Park, Healesville sanctuary. I am on the way to Wilson's prom.
I am on 40 acres with a lovely bush gully in the middle. It is not uncommon to see kangaroos on the front lawn.
There is a wild life sanctuary up the road always looking for assistance.

I am a dressage coach, horse trainer and agistment manager. I have several horses and 3 dogs. I am looking for people who are willing to help me to maintain my property and improve it. The job description will include housework too, mainly cleaning the bathrooms, vacuuming the house and keeping on top of the kitchen and laundry. If you love cooking I would appreciate your skills! I always have a project on the go, so I am needing assistance completing them. Many hands make light work.
I have a lovely big room with a tv, wifi, heating and air/ conditioning. This is seperate from the main house, so you will have your own space. The bathroom facility at the stable block, has an outdoor bath, massive shower and seperate toilet.
At the stable block is a basic kitchen, microwave, large fridge, small oven, small stove. The stable block also has wifi. This is 100metres from your room.
I will leave meals up to you, that is not my forte. I will organise a few staples like milk, bread, butte. We will organise a trip to the supermarket where you can buy your preferred food supplies.
It is a very peaceful place to be whilst working. You will have use of the pool on your time off. I will give you a list to work through for your 6 hours a day. The rest of the day is yours to explore the surrounding bush. Or lie around the pool. I have a bike if you are wanting to go for a ride.

I had the best time helping out Natasha over the 2 weeks of my stay, helping her with tasks such as property maintenance and horse care. She is such a lovely lady and even brought us along to activities during our days off. Would recommend!!

Our time with Natasha was truly incredible. From the moment she picked us up from the train station we felt so welcome! Her property is stunning and we really enjoyed caring for the horses. Working outside and getting to experience the local events was such a treat. Overall a truly wonderful experience!

Amazing time, Natasha is a lovely person passionate about horses ! She makes you feel at ease, even if she's busy she takes time for you. The communication is very efficient, and the place a little paradise. Nothing to say, except go for it :))

Albane was a delight to have as my second in charge. There was a lot going on and so much to organise. We had lots of fun making things run smoothly. The door is always open. It was a pleasure having you! Until next time!

I absolutely loved my time at Natasha’s place, I felt right at home and will miss the dogs and the random kangaroos. Natasha is so lovely and very busy but somehow manages to get everything done. I am very happy that I was able to lend a hand. Thank you for looking after me and I hope I can come back someday.

I had an amazing time! Natasha has a lovely property will heaps of horses (and weeds) it's only an hour by train and really easy to get in and out of the city. Natasha is lovely and more than welcome to show you around beautiful Pakenham when she isn't dealing with horses, work or anything else that could go wrong! Would stay again
