    Description

    We are a family of 4, my parents, my sister and myself. We live on 34 acres completely off the grid living, 25 mins drive from Newcastle, NSW, 45 min drive to Port Stephens and 2 1/2hr train ride to Sydney. Nearest train station is 10 min drive.
    Hunter Valley vineyards is 35mins drive.
    Newcastle has beautiful beaches. There is no public transport or shops where we live. We will drop you at the nearest train station so you can go wherever you like and will also drive you to show you some places of interest.
    We live next to a National Park if you like the bush and hiking, we also have a pool to chilli out on hot days and you can also play snooker and darts if you wish.
    We have 7 cows and 3 dogs. We are needing help around the garden and property.
    ***WE ARE IN NSW NOT SA***
