If you are planning on doing a lot of walking then we do suggest a good pair of walking shoes and a quick pace! As this stunning property is located in a secluded, rural area, please be aware that mobile phone reception is scarce on most networks. However, there is a fully functioning landline that you are free to use to make local & national calls or calls to mobiles within Australia. Both the Main House and The Cottage do have wifi. However, NBN and cable haven't quite made it out to our neck of the woods yet so internet speed can vary on occasions, especially in adverse weather conditions or if there are a lot of devices connected at the same time. If in the extremely unusual circumstance that the phone lines are down there is a Telstra Air facility in St Albans (4km away).
