  Description

  Hi there :)
  
  My name is Steph (29) and I'm having a birthday party and May and we need two people to help prepare the space for the fun. It’s a mix of painting and crafts, and helping out during the party if you're here :)
  
  We have lots of horses, 2 very cute mini fox terriers, and a shy cat that you might see around.
  
  Some of the things we'll be making:
  * Connecting CD's together to make a CD wall.
  * Painting a big cactus
  * Painting some old chairs, stools, and logs, decor.
  
  You’ll get a cosy place to stay, home cooked dinners, and heaps of time to chill or explore when you're not working. We also have a swimming pool that you're free to use, and are always up for a game of cornhole or petanque.
  
  The property is about 200 acres, and there are about 20 horses on the property too, you'll have plenty of down to relax, read/work online, or do as your heart desires.
  
  And of course, you'll be welcome to come to the party on 03 May :)
  
  I am also learning French after doing a Workaway in France last year, so I would be happy to practice my terrible French with you. I'm also into yoga, crocheting, snorkelling, tarot reading. Sharon is an artist and does a lot of painting in her free time.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Staying at our property is a chance to experience the aussie bush. There are even a couple (20ish) friendly horses on the property to keep you company and add to the charm of your stay. We're always keen to share dinners together and happy to welcome you to our home :)
  
  We are an (almost) completely off-grid property, with a small veggie garden, and loads of horses. We'd be happy to share what we know about rural living or horses. Sharon is a fantastic cook and loves to make Texas BBQ so can teach you a thing or two about american cooking. I am also learning to read tarot, so would can read your cards if you want!

  Accommodation

  You’ll be staying in self contained converted clubhouse. The space has everything you need for a comfortable stay and is about 50m away from the main house, so you'll have the privacy you need.
  
  The accommodation features:
  A newly renovated and private bathroom
  A fireplace to keep you cozy when its cold.
  A well equipped kitchen area so you can prepare your own breakfast and lunch.
  High speed internet
  A dining area and patio overlooking a beautiful vineyard.
  
  While you’ll have your own space, we’d love to share dinners with you at the main house to connect, share stories, and unwind after the day’s work. It’s the perfect mix of independence and community close by to sydney.

  What else ...

  Please note that the property is remote, so you’ll need your own transport to get out and about during your stay. The nearest train station is 45 minutes away, and we’re happy to pick you up from there if needed. However, having a car is essential if you’d like to explore the local area or come/go as you please.
  
  We typically go into town once a week for groceries, so you’ll have a chance to stock up on anything you might need then or you can take your car.
  
  This setup is ideal for a couple or two friends travelling together, as the peace and solitude can feel isolating if you’re on your own. Bring a buddy, and you’ll find it an amazing place to share quality time, both working and relaxing!
