    Description

    We have an horse property approx 1 hour from Sydney CBD by car. Our property has several animals including horses, 2 German Shepperd dogs, 1 cat, chickens, ducks and ponies. The place is a bit like a mini zoo but a lot of fun with a 3.5 year old running around.

    We live on the farm with my daughter, son-in-law and the 2.5 year old. We are fun and friendly family and very easy going. We love meeting new people. In the evening we can sit by the open fire place and enjoy the best sunset. Whilst it feels like you are in the middle of a beautiful forest, you will be only 49 kilometers from Sydney CBD . You can enjoy the serene property whilst visit some attractions of the city on your free days

    Sydney, Australia's largest and most populous city, is celebrated for its breathtaking natural landscapes, iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, and a vibrant cultural scene. With its mild climate and stunning beaches, it offers a coveted coastal lifestyle. The city's diverse population contributes to its multicultural ambiance, reflected in its cuisine, neighborhoods, and cultural events. Sydney is not only an economic powerhouse but also a global tourist destination known for its rich history, dynamic urban life, and unparalleled quality of life.

    We are looking for friendly fun loving people who are interested to meet new people and not afraid to get their hands dirty by helping out on the farm. We would like someone who can do stable work, feeding horses in the morning and evening, gardening, some house work and looking after a 2.5 year old at times. I

    We are family friendly and you will have an opportunity to share some meals and also get to know each other. Please feel free to call me to discuss anything further you would like.
