Gaily, one of your hosts is an artist and her artwork adorns the walls.


The fireplace will be set and ready to light. (in winter)

We are in a cull de sac in the hills so there is not much traffic, we (the hosts) live 500 meters further up your driveway and do occasionally pass the house going out. It is 10 minutes' drive to get back into Burringbar, so you really are in the hills.

Do your shopping prior to arrival.

It's great beautiful country road driving, just stay on the left.

Beds are very comfortable and always with clean sun kissed linen.

Spare linen is handy.
If you want to walk on the property and take in the views, ask us and we will give you instructions and directions, there are many kilometers of trails within our boundary.
There is also quite a lot of birdlife and native animals. platypus have been spotted in the creek but not since the floods last year.

Some folk walk to the top of the property to take in the mountain views at sunset. (Mt Warning or Woolumbin)
It is best to walk up the drive and Gaily or I can give you directions.

There are no fences for your pets so they will have to stay close to you.

Starlink has given us unlimited high-speed Internet.
TV is also satellite.
Mobile phone coverage in this area is woeful or non-existent but you can adjust your phone settings for access the Wi-Fi and it works for most plans.
Watts app, Skype, face time and all the other service work very well.

We hope you enjoy the stay at Sweetwater and we are on hand for information.
