Description

Gumtree Wai is a modern four bedroom, two bathroom western red cedar homestead located on 5 acres of picturesque, groomed land in the beautiful Congewai Valley, just 15 minutes from the beautiful Hunter Valley wine trail and the Cessnock CBD. A place for all seasons, Gumtree Wai is sure to become a regular stop off for you, your family and friends.

Imagine warm summer evenings lazing by the landscaped salt water pool, casual strolls across the groomed field or a relaxing bath after a day of wine tasting.

Cool winter evenings sitting by the fire basket under a blanket of stars entertained by the rhythm and harmony of nocturnal wildlife. Catch yourself a meal of fresh water yabby from our dams and enjoy it with a Hunter Valley semillon.

The homestead features reverse cycle, ducted air conditioning, an open plan kitchen/dine/living area fully equipped for you to cater for yourself in every way. And if you don't feel like cooking then restaurant quality dining is available at the near by Paxton Hotel, just 5 minutes by car.

Luxuriate on the generously proportioned recliner lounges, read a book, watch a movie from our impressive selection or have fun with a variety of board games.

The property comfortably sleeps up to 8 people. The Master suite includes a queen bed, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. Glass doors open onto the verandah where cafe table and chairs have been placed for guests to enjoy a morning coffee, or to unwind with a nightcap at the end of the day.

Our second bedroom has a queen bed and the third bedroom offers a double. Our fourth bedroom has a wrought iron day bed that can be re-configured for a single or queen.

All bedrooms are fitted with ceiling fans and built-in wardrobes.

Our garage houses our laundry and an additional bathroom with shower and wc. You will also discover 1 adult size and 2 children's size bicycles complete with helmets. There is also a set of golf clubs to allow a knock about the paddock and other games are always being added.

On arrival guests can enjoy the welcome basket complete with a variety of teas and coffee as well as supplies for your very own, self-cater country breakfast.

  • "We had wonderful time at Gumtree Wai, and we will return next time. Beautiful and clean. The music, small welcome board, wine and a lot makes us very impressive. "Do you consider Gumtree Wai to be good value for money?" Yes "
    Xin, December 2011
     
  • "Good first impression. Welcome sign was nice touch...many thanks to Kate for all your help with directions, much appreciated! We all felt it was great value for money. We really enjoyed our stay very much, the only down side was the weather but you can't do much about that!"

  • "Excellent! Everything was shiny and newly cleaned, the music was on and the house was beautiful. It was so exciting to arrive and look around. If we have a large group heading to the Hunter again we'd definitely choose to return. Every member of our group ranging in ages from 4 to nanna's secret age loved it there. With space to relax privately, lovely outlooks from all rooms and nice facilities alongside a gorgeous big living area with plenty of space to gather and eat it felt made for us. "

  • "Thank you!We loved the property."
    Rebecca, October 2011
     
  • "We had a fantastic time at Gumtree Wai, despite the drizzling rain. All amenities provided were wonderful & we would happily stay again. When we first pulled into the drive we spotted 2 gorgeous kangaroos & then we were greeted up the drive whilst unpacking the car by a red belly black snake, not so gorgeous but still a sight to see him slither away into the adjoining property. Even though gumtree Wai is situated a fair way out of town it was still a lovely place to stay as it is so quiet & peaceful & as my Dad happily quoted from The Castle ���ahhh the serenity��� "
    Toni, October 2011
     
  • "Thanks for your note. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
    Jessica, October 2011
     
  • "A cute little blackboard at the door welcomed our group. Inside was warm, inviting and comfortable. A gorgeous bottle of wine was awaiting our arrival - just what was needed after a rainy trip up the freeway. The house is extremely well equipped with basically everything needed for big meals and comfortable cooking in the kitchen, big towels provided and clear instructions on how to use television, air-con etc. BBQ is great. The deck is of a great size. The property allowed our group space, relaxation for the old folk and outdoor fun with the kids. We had a brilliant time - only wish it could have been longer! A massive thank-you to Kate for her flexibility and hospitality. "
