  Descripción

  We are a family of artists living in a homebuild Japanese inspired house built with part of the set from The Matrix. We are set in a lush valley surrounded by beautiful trees and an abundance of birds and wildlife.
  We have a pool, veggie garden, native garden, fruit trees and a small (non commercial) vineyard.
  Our day to day life here involves tending to the house, gardens and vineyard, going for afternoon walks, a coffee in town, a glass of wine by the fire, plenty of swims in the summer, playing instruments and of course, painting and drawing.
  
  We love sharing our projects and our home with other people, and appreciate the cultural knowledge that is exchanged through platforms like workaway. We have also been hosting WOOFers for over 15 years and have loved the experiences we have shared with people.

  The kinds of work we do is seasonally dependent, but can include:
  
  - weeding and watering the garden
  - clearing invasive weeds from surrounding bush (regeneration)
  - building and house repairs
  - vineyard: pruning, picking grapes, netting, pressing, bottling wine/grape juice
  
  We typically share the tasks alongside one another, its generally more enjoyable that way and allows us to guide, share tips and answer questions.

  Alojamiento

  Guests stay in the same house as hosts, in an open, light room with 360 ° views of the tree tops. The room is upstairs with a double bed, desk, loungechairs and a sofa that doubles as a fold out bed. Stairs are quite steep so be careful.
  
  We will share meal times with our guests. We are mainly vegetarian but we do occasionally eat fish and chicken .

  Algo más...

  Our house is not accessible with public transport, so a car or a lift is required. We can provide lifts from Sydney, Newcastle or Cessnock (depending on our schedule of course), so flexibility is necessary.
  
  Our house is completely self sufficient (it runs on stand alone solar power which means we are disconnected from the electricity grid). We have an efficient system that allows us to access all tech/internet etc however because we dont have an infinite power supply we encourage guests to be mindful of turning off lights, TV and not having long showers. We discourage guests who want to spend hours online for this reason.
  
  We share the surrounding environment with some wonderful wildlife, which means that sometimes bugs can make their way inside. We always make an effort to keep the house clean and bug free but this is a part of living in the bush.
  
  To save water, we have a composting toilet outside the house.

  Espacio para aparcar autocaravanas

  The track is well maintained but is unsealed, so sometimes the road may be damaged after heavy rain. Thankfully the road isn't too steep but please be careful with larger vehicles and low vehicles to avoid potholes.
