Cedars Mount View

A review in Australian Traveller in the April/May 2008 issue - about Hunter Valley Hideaways - AT's pick of the bunch - Cedars Mount View...."Completely secluded from one another, this could be the most private and luxurious boutique outfit current operating in the Hunter. With simple exteriors and expansive verandahs, each cottage's interior is a study in clean, simple modern elegance".....

Cedars has everything you need for a romantic getaway. There are a variety of indulgence packages available, the most popular being the helicopter pickup from your cottage for a scenic flight to Pokolbin, before landing for 3 course lunch and a bottle of wine at either Esca's at Bimbadgen Estate or Amanda's on The Edge and a return trip back to your cottage to in-house massage.
