We have a peaceful country house on a 25 acre rural property. It is 1/2 hour from Newcastle and the Hunter Valley, 1.5 hours north of Sydney. We would like you to care for the house and animals - 2 lovely pointers, who love walking & swimming, 2 horses (who need daily hay) and some chooks. Lovely garden, doesn't need much attention in winter. Neighbours nearby are very helpful. It is a lovely place to have a break in the country. Dates we hope you can come 31st July to 29th August 2015 or 2 weeks of that time.
