Description

Monkey Place Country House is a huge, fully self contained sandstone house, nestled on 6 private acres, with a huge wrap around verandah facing out onto the native gardens teeming with birdlife. The surrounds also include large rose and lavender gardens, which fill the air with perfume. Monkey Place is situated next to the Wollombi brook and surrounded by the brokenback mountain ranges and the wonderful vineyards of the Hunter Valley.

The house was built from reclaimed materials. The stone came from varied sources including an old railway hut in Singleton, the footings from the old lyric theatre and even old curb and guttering from original streets. The big pieces of timber came from the old Dunnolly Bridge in Singleton and the huge piece outside the front door was taken from an old Sydney wharf. The internal cedar doors and leadlight windows have had former lives which combine to give the house a rustic charm.
Monkey Place is a unique house that will make you relax. Its the perfect Hunter Valley accommodation for celebrating a special occasion or just to get a group together under the one roof. The house is wrapped by a wide verandah overlooking the extensive gardens. There is also a sprawling pool deck area, complete with a separate outdoor spa. We have airconditioning and ceiling fans for the hotter months and a woodfire for when it gets cooler.

Monkey Place has 4 huge bedrooms with queen size beds, plus 2 wooden king single double bunk beds, and a comfortable queen sofa bed sleeping a total of 12-14 very comfortably. It has two bathrooms and a separate toilet.

All our beds are made up with fresh crisp white linen,with big white fluffy towels and there are plenty of extra blankets and pillows. Enjoy the complimentary chocolate and our local hand made organic soap. Just make sure you eat the right one! Put your feet up, relax and let Monkey Place look after you.

Monkey Place is crafted from stone and massive bridge timbers with lovely old coloured glass, warm wool curtains and Australian Red Cedar doors. Walk in, sense the space and marvel at the beauty. Monkey Place is sensational. Cosy earth colours and natural materials inside, wraparound verandahs outside for viewing the birds, trees, mountain ranges and the spectacular Yellow Rock.
There are 4 bedrooms with beautiful queen sized wrought iron beds made up with white cotton linen, pillows, woolly blankets and quilts. The separate sitting room has 2 KING single double bunk beds, a sofabed and a cot, it is a great space for children. Our guests tell us the beds are "really cosy and comfortable". Each bedroom has carpet, wool curtains, old wooden furniture and fluffy white cotton bath towels.

  • "We all had a fantastic time at Monkey Place. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. We loved relaxing in the pool and spa and made good use of the BBQ. A special mention has to be made to Ben for the dinner he cooked for us on Saturday night. He and his partner went out of their way to make the night special for us, and we were blown away by the quality and presentation of the meal, as well as the exceptional service. We had a wonderful time at Monkey Place and will definitely recommend it to our friends and family."

  • "We had a relaxing stay at Monkey Place. The house was such a cool retreat from the summer heat we hardly noticed the hot weather. The pool certainly made our stay and spent most of our days in it or beside it. It really is a great house for friends and family. Very comfortable loads of space and we appreciated all the comforts and extra touches and everything supplied in the kitchen."

The bedrooms were amazing - along with all the bathroom tolietries. I will recommend this place in a heart beat to friends and family. It was just beautiful. The plot of land, the pool, everything.. Overall, we LOVED it. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend :)! Thanks for everything!!!"

  • "Beautiful surroundings, home & furnishings, very well equipped, loved all the outdoor furniture and the big verandahs (good shelter from the rain)!! Slept 14 very comfortably. Excellent home for entertaining, bbq���ing, great indoor outdoor flow and loved all the effort you had gone to keep the house looking old and from a different era when in fact I was informed that it was only 20 years old ��� very impressive. Everyone that stayed with us commented on how amazing the house and property was. we had a truly wonderful time"
    Jennifer , December 2011
     
  • "We were already very excited to stay at Monkey Place Country House as we had already browsed through the photos of the house on the websites and thought it was beautiful. All of our expectations were exceeded once we actually had arrived and settled into the house. The rustic feel of the stone walls and wooden portions of the floor were so charming they set an amazing backdrop for our stay. On top of the rustic feel of the house the modern amenities and amazing kitchen made it very easy for us to organize such a big group while keeping everyone happy. The pool and spa were a highlight for us. We spent a lot of our time out sunning and enjoying the beautiful scenery. The many large tables placed around hte house both inside and out allowed us to fully enjoy our time. We had dinner outside on the back verandah as often as we could because of the perfect lighting and amazing vista. The bedrooms were fantastic and we were very grateful to have had enough hot water for all 11 of us every day! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in this wonderful house."

  • ""It was an awesome experience and we would definitely love to stay there again. All of us loved the house and didn't want to leave.""
    Darren, October 2011
     
  • " We had a fantastic time for a girls weekend away. The house was amazing just perfect for our needs. It was spacious with inside and outside areas that were adequate for a large group. It was lovely to sit outside and bbq for breakfast and dinner. The kitchen is so well equipped and the beds were really comfortable. The little extra touches (the welcome hamper with "proper" coffee wine and olive oil and chocolates on each bed) really added to our stay. It was a wonderful weekend - we just wished we could have stayed the week!"
