Hi All. My OH and I are planning to relocate to Tasmania and have been looking for somewhere to stay on a temp basis and I came across this Ad. I thought i would share it with other GN's and anyone planning to tour Tassi.

North East Tasmania (posted 4/2/08)
Take a break from your travels and stay at a beautiful 1880s house on 50 acres on the edge of St Marys township in north-east Tasmania, in the hills but only 10 minutes from stunning white sand beaches. The property is being developed as a B&B / guesthouse and for horse trail riding and other outdoor and adventure activities. There is plenty of room to park even big rigs with power and water available and /or accommodation is available in large bed-sitting room with TV and fire, plus use of kitchen, in return for some help with almost anything including handyman jobs, gardening, creek regeneration, painting , carpentry, plumbing etc etc.  Stay a few days or a few weeks, well behaved dogs welcome. Telephone  03 63722059 or email info@maritonhouse.com

Offers like this are very helpful as when we get there we will need a base for a few weeks while looking for a suitable place to live.
