UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Staying at my property will give a traveller the ideal place to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of a farm stay whilst having the benefit of travelling to the city which is only 1-1.5hrs away for supplies and other activities you may want to do. My property has an abundance Indigenous Art and unique treasures that i have collected from all over Australia.
Help
I require a licenced person to drive me to Adelaide and/or Mannum/Murray Bridge 1-2 times per week using my registered vehicle and fuel. The sheep need bails fed to them once a week and some general farm help and gardening is required. I have a farm quad bike for use.

Accommodation
The large shed that is featured in my profile is the private accommodation I am offering. I live in a seperate house 200m away. The shed is fully renovated as a holiday place and accommodates 10-12 people with 2 x queen size beds, 1 double bed and 6 x single beds. It is fully furnished and has a fully equipped kitchen, Combustion fire place, Cooling, TV / Stereo / DVD Player. All bedding and linen is provided. Own private shower and toilet plus outdoor shower and toilet. Inside there is a pool table, darts and table tennis. I also have a large pizza oven in the outdoor entertaining area.
What else ...
My property is located approximately 30 minutes from the Murray River and Barossa Valley and 1-1.5hr drive to Adelaide. The best way to experience the Murray River is on a Murray River Princess cruise or Overnight on the Proud Mary. You could even take an indigenous tour near Bowhill called Ngaut Ngaut. Barossa Valley is South Australia’s wine region so plenty of cellar doors and is famous for the many studio shops, art galleries and museums. Public transport is limited, however there is a community bus that travels between Sedan and Nuriootpa and a bus from Westfield Tea Tree Plaza to Mt Pleasent. Sedan is 10km away and has a hotel that offers lunch and dinner menu. There is also a local IGA Shop in Sedan. On days I need to go to Adelaide you would be free to do as you please and plan activities for the day as I often do my shopping and visit my family for the day.
