This position requires the cleaning of a large 7 bedroom house and a 3 bedroom cottage on a ‘as required’ basis. This will include, changing bedding, cleaning one or all of the 4 bathrooms, lounge areas, dusting, vacuuming, washing floors and occasionally, cleaning ovens and washing windows.
The person we are looking for will have to be available at short notice, as we are just recovering from COVID Isolation. Wherever possible I will provide a roster in advance. Bookings are just starting to come in so I am unable to give any regular hours at this time, but hope to do so in the near future.
We are a small, family run and pet friendly, business and our Bed and Breakfast is set in 2 and a half acres of gardens. Please check out our website on www.stonyrisecottage.com.au.
Experience in this field and references will be highly regarded, but not essential.

Alistair, Lucille and Amy are visiting us from
Victoria for a couple of days.

Alistair works in the petrochemical industry on the BIG island! He tells us that the company imports propylene gas then converts that into propylene plastic in the shape of tiny balls.

Some of these little plastic balls are then sold to another company who turn these balls into plastic sheets. This company on sells these sheets to our Mint in Canberra.

They, in turn, produce our plastic currency or, Aussie bank notes!

Surprisingly, for me anyway, is that our Mint also produce this plastic currency for 15 other countries!

Thanks Alistair that’s pretty cool !!! 😊

During 2018 we continued to ‘tweak’ Stony Rise Cottage and the beautiful grounds in which she sits!
She, like many of us ‘old girls’, is worth every penny and drop of sweat we put into her on the journey to restore her to her glory days!..and there have been a few of those along the way!
First built, by the Rundle family, circa 1885 was the elegant little farm house, where she sat, proudly for the next 💯, or so, years!
In 1988 she was given an amazing new lease of life with the addition of a beautiful, and very large, new wing!
In 2005 another wing was added...this time an additional 3 bedroom, fully self contained house!
We came into her life in 2015 named her Stony Rise Cottage, and, have been ‘tweaking’ her ever since...a labour of love which we will continue to do for as long as we have breath!
We are thrilled to be able to share her with family, friends and many, many guests as she truly deserves all the oohs and ahrrs she gets every day!
This leaves only one more thing to say...a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who stayed with us during 2018!..you have given us soo many warm fuzzies, laughs and great conversation!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

As my final post for 2018 was about two caravanning families I thought I should continue the ‘vehicle’ theme as my first post for 2019!
Luckily for me, I was ably assisted in this endeavour by Greg who rolled up in his Antique Volkswagen Kombi Van!
This 1958, left hand drive, little beauty started life in California, USofA and like many of us ‘old girls’ can be a bit cantankerous and heavy to handle! But, to a true old car enthusiast, like Greg...she’s more than worth it! (I wonder if Cliff feels the same about his ‘antiquated...oops I mean antique...girl?) 😂
Good luck and safe travels Greg around Tassie my friend!..and if you happen to see him around...give him a wave, he’s a pretty friendly guy!

I guess it’s hi time we said, a somewhat, sad farewell to 2018!
So, what better way to end a great year than with another 1st for us here at Stony Rise Cottage!!!
Two lovely families came to stay with us, 6 in total, but the difference with this fun group was that arrived with caravans in tow...literally!
Thanks to Donna and Mark, Sue and George and the boys for choosing to stay with us to kick off your adventures around Tassie...we wish you safe travels...drive through caravan sites 😂 and, of course, a very Happy New Year!

I just can’t let this week go without mentioning Peter...an entomologist who stayed with us for a couple of days and shared his newest ‘bug’ with us!
Lucille, named after the Lucila fly ( or to us mere mortals, the green bottle fly) is
Peter’s new love...a drone!
He kindly took a number of aerial shots of our property...some showing that if we just build up to 120 metres we would have views of Bass Straight! Over to you for that one Cliff! 😂
More recklessly, he handed over control of Lucille to us for awhile...what a buzz! (Sorry, I just couldn’t let that one pass 😂). Seriously though it was heaps of fun! Thank you Peter for trusting us with your new baby!

One, of many, advantages of being in the B and B business is the amazing amount of interesting people we get to meet.
Everyone has something to add...something to bring to the breakfast table!
Last week...an apiarist...who fascinated us with stories of life with his hives!
This week a lovely lady, Terril, who breeds then sterilises fruit flys (no, not with tiny scalpels 😂) then sells them to Bio security, who drop them from aeroplanes and, voila, no baby fruit flies!!! Pretty cool eh?
We were also visited by an adventurist couple, Eva and John, who rode their motorbike down the east coast of the big island, in the pouring rain for...wait for it...11 hours! One, dry, night with us and they continued on to Hobart, after a hearty breakfast of course, once again...in the pouring rain! 🥺
We wish you, and all our guests from 2018, a very Happy Christmas, filled with light and love, and may 2019 be filled with all the wonders this amazing planet of ours has to offer!
With love and hugs from all of us here at Stony Rise Cottage Bed and Breakfast. 🎄🍾🛏🥓

One of our guests this weekend is just about to compete in the XC Tasmanian Championship.

We wish you every success Richard especially as the conditions will be pretty wet, muddy and humid (if you happen to be on a mountain bike) up on Kelcey Tiers this afternoon.

Cathy will, no doubt, be less warm as a spectator...sorry about the inclement weather in Devonport today to all the riders and supporters!

We, here at Stony Rise Cottage B & B (at the base of Kelcey Tiers) will be checking the Mersey Valley Devonport Cycling Club (event
organisers)results page to see how ‘our boy’, Richard fared!

We wish you all...Good luck and not too many spills. 😊

When it comes to Christmas I’m a bit of a nut case!
So, to get full value from hiding away all my Christmas friends in dark boxes for 10 and a half months 😰...I let them out early! 😊
I thought I’d share, just a few, with you.

It’s been a very busy week here at Stony Rise Cottage, with people coming and going every day...so it’s particularly nice to have guests that stay with us for a few days.
This was the case with Sef and Maggie from The Central Coast of NSW. They thoroughly enjoyed their holiday in Tassie before ending their adventure with 3 nights in our little
B & B...and what a ride it must have been for this intrepid duo...I think the photos say it all!
Thanks for sharing your holiday with us! 😊
