Description

Olive Grove Cottages is the perfect base in the heart of the Wine Country from which to relax and enjoy all that the Hunter Valley has to offer. Our first-rate fully equipped self-contained cottages are close to many fine wineries and restaurants.

Start each day with a generous in-cottage complimentary breakfast hamper. Perhaps take a winery tour (from your cottage door) in a 4WD, or take a romantic horse-drawn carriage, or go with a group of friends in a mini-bus. Then finish the day in any one of the many award-winning restaurants of the region. You can amble through the country-side on a bicycle, or take a hot-air balloon ride, or enjoy a game of golf.

Or, simply relax on your own private deck and soak up the Hunter Valley atmosphere with a glass of wine, have a BBQ (BBQ hampers can be ordered with 48 hours notice) or stroll through the olive grove and picnic in the grounds - and in the summer months, enjoy the good life around the pool.

Guest Reviews

 
  • " Very friendly, lovely property. Very suited to what we needed having a young child. Nothing was a problem for our host made us feel very welcomed and relaxed. Highly recommended."

  • "Absolutley lovely. I was greeted with a smile that was as lovley as what the day had to offer. The accomodation was just splendid. I could not have felt more at home, sitting at the table with a plate of select crackers and cheese enjoying Ruths pick of complimentary wine. Just a few minutes up the road was the heart of wine country, perfect! From simple they have excelled in perfection. Thanks Ruth and Chris, we had a fantastic stay. I hope your not too booked out for me as I have recommended Olive Grove to everyone. And you can hold me to my word I will not stay anywhere else. Aaron"

  • "The service provided by Ruth during our stay at Olive Grove Cottages was second to none. She happily organised tours for us in the Hunter Valley to our desired wineries. The cottage we stayed in tastefully decorated and had all the comforts of home. We hope to come back again soon."

  • "The cottages were spotlessly clean and the hosts had thought of absolutely everything for the stay. Breakfast provisions were plentiful and delicious, there were more than enough pots and pans, pieces of crockery/cutlery, towels, blankets etc. It was fantastic! We also needed some medical assistance during our stay, and Ruth took it upon herself to book a doctor and tell us the exact directions. I would recommend Olive Grove to anyone."
