"Peaches" is a 2 storey shed-house that is fully insulated equipped with basic living - wood fire heater with basic cooking facilities, gas cooker and a fridge. Upstairs is a queen and single bed with all bedding provided. There is an outdoor shed with hot gas shower and composting toilet.
It is camping to an effect.
I have learned not to take anything for granted.
We are in process of completing a build - my partner in his spare time is building us a house where there will be an internal flushing toilet and solar lighting (off grid) - so that's something to look forward to. For your next visit perhaps?

favoriteWhat we love about our area

Peace and serenity. I love trees and living rurally you get to appreciate and witness all the changes of the seasons.
We have Lithgow town for services, local Rydal Village and Bathurst is a nice larger township to visit. Locally Tarana has markets the 4th Sunday of the month

Our pets

DogsDogs (1)
CatsCats (2)
They mostly need to be loved, fed and watered patted and cuddled.. Kai our black barb kelpie loves going for walks along the kangaroo bush tracks. He also loves to catch a ball. He is very food/treat oriented. He can spend time in his pen as he loves his job of guarding the place from "sky ones or "eagle ones" - of the wedged tail variety and is none too impressed by the odd fox.
He likes to sleep on the bed! As do the 2 cats. Krista and Sam. Both were born and bread in the local area, both rescued.
Krista is a domestic short haired tabby and Sam a dark chocolate long haired cat.
They both like laps, especially Krista. She is doesn't like sharing food or attention. Sam is a placid gentle boy. They will both be a bit skittish till they associate you with food and care.
