OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION: - There are 2 other residences on the 10 acre property, but both are positioned close to the main road at the entrance to the block, the Castlemaine Hideaway in the Trees is completely secluded and private, nestled amongst the trees at the end of the long, winding driveway. - As the gravel driveway is steep in parts, low gear or 4-wheel drive mode is recommended - The Castlemaine Hideaway is on tank water only, guests must conserve water wherever possible. - During warmer months, it is important to take care when walking around the bush as you may meet some of the local wildlife. - Due to the risk of bush fire the fire pit can only be used between the months of April to October. - The owners' dogs live at the main house and may at times be seen in the property’s grounds, it is rare however that they venture down to 'The Hideaway'. The dogs are very good with people especially children as the owners have a young daughter. - In the BBQ area you’ll see the wild bird feeder – feel free to feed the native birds fresh apples.
