Description
Hi!
We live on five acres in Bowral, the Southern Highlands, which is about 1.5 hours south west of Sydney. Our place is five mins drive from the town which has lots of shops, cafes, a cinema and facilities. The area around us is really beautiful. Lots of mountains, walks, farmland and about 40 minute drive to the beach.
We’re Mark and Melissa, our labrador pup Murphy, some chickens, and occasionally our adult children live here too.
We are often working on projects around here - like building a roof for the chicken coop, painting and maintenance, vegetable garden, tree farm setup and doing some work for our cabin which we rent out. -

We’re regional NSW, so it’s a country vibe whilst being close to town. Lovely place to see the seasons change. Very peaceful and quiet.

Accommodation
We have a big house, and the spare bedroom is in its own ‘wing’ complete with a bathroom. The main part of the house has fireplaces, a big kitchen, and a good country table for our meals together. There are extra bedrooms if required- one had a QB and the others are doubles.

What else ...
Beautiful countryside around us - lovely to watch the seasons change, train station in town, and we’re about. 40 min country drive to the beach.
