Being off-grid means we are not connected to the national power grid & means normal operation of lighting, phone chargers, laptops, tablets, water pump m, washing machine but no high power drawing items such as heater, dishwasher, clothes dryer, electric blankets, toaster (there is a camp one), kettle (there is a gas stove top billy). If you need short term use of a high drawing appliance such as a hair dryer (or other heated styler), iron etc please advise - we have an onsite generator to top up the power batteries & simply need to be aware to monitor the voltage more intently when such appliances are to be used.
Note: There is a Gravel road & driveway for approximately 1.2kms from State Highway 22 to your cabin.
There is a fireplace for winter use only. This is an operational dry stock farm. Hazards, animals & farm vehicles and machinery will be about. Farm noises & smells.
Please be cautious and please do not feed the animals as this can make them a nuisance and/or naughty.
