Old Andado Homestead has been lived in and cared for by its owner, Molly Clark, for a very long time. Molly has had people do some caretaking in the past with the last employed caretakers being John and Elizabeth Spencer who finished up in late July 2008. They had a great love and respect for Molly and Old Andado and did a magnificent job of looking after the homestead and facilities, growing amazing plants and vegetables, greening the lawns and taking good care of the visitors to Old Andado. It was sad to see them go but it was time for them to move on and it was getting increasingly more difficult to keep a paid caretaker on.

Old Andado does not make profit but it still needs preserving! It is for this reason that we are starting a Volunteer Caretakers system whereby you can register your interest to be the caretaker for a week or up to 6 months or more if you wish.

During your time there and for a return of a few hours a day, you can relax, bird watch, paint, photograph – whatever takes your fancy. There are jobs that need doing on a daily basis and visitors to greet but other than that it’s a very relaxing, calming and quiet place.

To find out what is provided for you and what you would need to have to be a caretaker at Old Andado, contact us for a fact sheet and register your interest.
