Description

Maranda Country House is set on three acres and is a wonderful Australian Colonial Home with traditional Bull Nose Verandah to the front and rear. Maranda boasts a large refreshing pool and a private screened four person spa/hot tub as well as some of the best views in the Hunter Valley.

Maranda is located on the outskirts of the village of Broke on semi-rural land and next to Mount Eyre Vineyard and gives complete privacy. Maranda has polished timber floors, nine foot ceilings, a spacious lounge with huge 50inch Plasma TV and a magnificent dining room with huge dining table. Maranda has panoramic views of the local vineyards, hills and ranges. Maranda has 5 reverse cycle air conditioners plus ceiling fans and wood burning fire making it the perfect retreat all year around. A fully equipped kitchen and a modern BBQ provide the means to be self sufficient so you can kick back with your favorite wine and enjoy the ambience.

Maranda can sleep 4-13 people comfortably (15 if you take the converted conference room). So if your group is large or small Maranda will weave her magic and transport you to a place of peace and tranquility that you will find hard to leave. Highlights include a sensational dining room which comfortably sits 14 with stunning 180 degree stunning views over vineyards and mountain ranges.

The accommodation comprises four queen bedrooms, three in the main house plus a queen bed self contained studio next to the main house. The house also has two large hotel quality fully sprung sofa beds with 8" mattresses, one in the lounge and the other in the dining room which means the house provides private comfortable accommodation for 4 to 13 people. For a small extra cost we can convert the conference room on the property to a large queen bedroom with own toilet, air conditioner and large plasma TV to give 5 separate bedrooms and allowing accommodation for up to 15 guests.

The studio comes with queen bed and double sofa bed (sleeps 3-4) bathroom, TV & video, fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. We also have two single foam mattresses which are handy for children if they need to sleep in the same room as their parents.

  • "We had a great stay, thanks very much. The house is very well stocked with everything one could need for a weekend away. It was a really great place to stay and we will be keeping it in mind for our next trip to the hunter."
    Deb , February 2012
     
  • "The house was beautiful and very well presented. We had everything that we needed and everyone had a comfortable and enjoyable stay."
    Megan, January 2012
     
  • "We found the whole Hunter experience fantastic!. Maranda House had everything we required and more. It was comfortable and welcoming with plenty of crockery and cutlery for us all. The family loved the spa and pool and a game of football in the pouring rain on Sunday afternoon between our 7 grandsons and two sons-in-law had the women laughing from the safety of the glassed in verandah. Ben, our chef and his lady helper were absolutely fantastic. The food was scrumptious, the service was great and the cake he made for my husband���s 70th birthday was delightful. Everyone, including you and Ben, kept the secret from him so well. He had a wonderful surprise with the family arriving 15 minutes after us and had a memorable birthday. We have recommended your services to our friends and our chiropractor wants to book for his 40th in December. Thank you for a fantastic stay. We will certainly book again."
    Joy, January 2012
     
  • "We loved our little getaway holiday and are thinking about making it an annual trip. Being only an hour away it was the perfect little getaway after the craziness of Christmas. The views were breathtaking. The house is well stocked with kitchen things, which was great! Thanks for a wonderful place to stay"
    Angela, January 2012
     
  • "Hi there, our stay was lovely, thanks alot for the opportunity. The house was bigger and roomier than the photos led to believe. The last 2 days of our stay was filled with a nice clear sky and blistering heat, so the lovely pool was enjoyed to the fullest! "
    Benjamin, January 2012
     
  • "Thank you very much for a wonderful weekend at Maranda House. The house was great and weather was fantastic."
    Robert, December 2011
     
  • "The house exceeded expectations. Beautiful views, every comfort needed, plenty of space and a truly relaxing ambience. I would definitely recommend Maranda Country house to friends and would certainly look to stay with you again, either in the same place, or in one of your other properties. Highlight of the weekend was the meal which was cooked for us by Ben at the house. This is MASSIVELY undersold by events in the vines. As nice as any meal I've ever had in the top Sydney restaurants. I really can't speak highly enough about the experience, the food, the service and the ease and convenience of the entire experience. We also enjoyed Ben's delightful cooking at breakfast the next morning.... not to mention the lessons on how to cook the perfect poached egg and hollandaise sauce!"
    Kirsty, November 2011
     
  • "We loved the house. Would definitely recommend the house to others and I would stay there again myself. "
    Katrina, November 2011
     
  • "The house was very well equipped and we could not have asked for more. To be honest it is likely the best property we've stayed in as everything you could ask for was catered for. Having so many adults in one space can sometime get cramped however there was more than enough room for everyone to spread out and relax."
    Mikaela, November 2011
     
  • "Stay was great - a great location for a weekend getaway for a family retreat"
    Warren, October 2011
