About Maitland, NSW

The area covers Maitland itself along with East Maitland, Lorn and Rutherford, with Stockland Green Hills and The Levee serving as the main shopping and dining precincts.
It's also a city with plenty of local landmarks, Maitland Gaol, the Maitland Regional Art Gallery, Walka Water Works and Maitland Park among them, plus a well-used railway station on the line running through to Newcastle. Whether you're clearing out a property near the town centre or further out toward Rutherford, we cover the same local area on regular runs.
