  Description

  We live on a rural bushland property about 1hr north of Sydney in the beautiful Hunter Valley. We are homesteading and have goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, turkeys, geese and a dog. We work from home online and in our spare time are busy with lots of projects like building a greenhouse, looking after the animals and other vegetable gardening.

  Hébergement

  Guests will stay in a spacious and comfortable six-person blackout tent, which keeps the interior cool and dark even during daylight hours. The tent is tall enough to stand inside and is equipped with interior lighting. It features a queen-size foam-core mattress, and all bedding and linens are provided to ensure a cozy and restful stay.
  
  Adjacent to the tent, there’s a 4.5 x 4.5-meter gazebo with two tables, a gas bottle, a gas cooker, and all necessary cookware, including pots and pans. Guests also have access to the house kitchen for additional cooking needs.
  
  Our farm offers an abundance of fresh and high-quality food. The freezer is stocked with meats like lamb, goat, chicken, and duck, and we bake our own bread regularly. The vegetable garden provides seasonal produce such as lettuce and beans, with other essentials available in the fridge from the supermarket. We aim to ensure that guests have everything they need for a comfortable and nourishing stay.

  You will need a car to get to our place as there is no public transport. Best is if you have 4x4 for getting around on the farm. There's quite a few good tracks to explore, we are surrounded by state Forest and national park, so lots to do in nature.
