Description

Cicada Country House

Cicada Country House is situated in an idyllic setting at the foothills of the Broke Fordwich mountains and between some of the best vineyards in the Hunter. Set on 25 private acres only minutes to great restuarants such as Margans, Nightingales and the town of Broke. Sit on our deck and take in the views of vineyards or stroll down and fish or paddle in the Wollombi Creek meandering around the bottom of the property.

Cicada Country Home has everything a small or large group could hope for. Sit by the roaring fire or relax in the Spa on those cold starry nights. Chill out in central air conditioning on a hot day and take in the view down to the brook and out to the vineyards.

Cicada has four beautifully dressed bedrooms with a romantic feel and all beds have been chosen for their comfort. The house has all the mod cons that will make your stay comfortable with a large flat screen LCD TV, DVD, X-Box 360 and Ipod dock music system . So bring all your favourite music and chill or party.

You can cook up a storm in our country kitchen or have a private chef cook for you and relax on our large table that sits 12-14 people.

For a relaxing easy meal, cook up on a 6 burner barbeque with wok and then unwind in our outdoor spa with massage jets and LED lights for that fun evening after all day at play.

We have regular visits from Kangaroos and Wombats that live by the creek. Or observe the bountiful birdlife that love to visit our home.

Where we are

Less than two hours from Sydney and 90 minutes from Newcastle the Broke Fordwich area is in the southwest corner of the mid Hunter Valley. Sitting between Pokolbin and Wollombi, Broke played a critical role in the development and history of NSW.

Next door to boutique vineyards and near the olive farms of Broke , 15-20 minutes to the heart or Pokolbin for the best wine tasting and restaurants in NSW and for the golf enthusiasts, two of the best and most challenging golf courses in Australia (the Vintage and Cypress Lakes).

Broke Village stands at the base of the Brokenback and Hunter Ranges on the Wollombi Brook. The massive Yellow Rock escarpment stands guard above. The Ranges shelter Broke Fordwich from much of the rainfall that surrounding districts receive. The area has a sandy loam with river flat alluvial soil, volcanic soil and pockets of red basalt giving wine producers a variety of soil types known as terra rossa.

Today Broke Fordwich is still making history. In 1994 it was the first area formally recognised as a separate viticulture. Whilst historically, it is one of the oldest wine growing areas in Australia, it is only in the last 30 years that Broke Fordwich has started to become an important player in the Australian industry.

Today, more than a quarter of the Hunters wine grape production now comes from the area and Broke Fordwich wines are winning more than their fair share of national and international awards.

Importantly, Broke Fordwich retains its integrity as a rural community remaining free of large scale development yet offering first class B&B and self catering accommodation, restaurants and activities. Visitors to the area are surprised by the amount of wildlife they see. It’s rare to visit the area without seeing kangaroos, wombats and a huge range of birds.

There is plenty to do.

How about a visit to the award winning Hunter Valley Gardens. Why not try Aqua Golf or treat yourself to a wonderful facial or massage in one of the lovely day spas. Fancy some horse riding or a visit to a Macadamia nut farm or Alpaca Farm. How about a visit to the chocolate or cheese factory or to the Blue Tongue Brewery? There are hundreds of great vineyards in the Hunter with great cellar doors and fantastic restaurants. Some of the best vineyards are on your doorstep. These include Margan Family Wines, Cockfighters Ghost Vineyard, Hope Estate, Stomp Wines , Broke Estate, Pooles Rock, Mt Broke, Catherine Vale,Brokes Promise,Krinklewood, Tinonee, Elysium, and Nightingale Wines. There are also some wonderful Olive Groves where you can taste the local olives and oils. Or just sit back with a glass of your favorite wine and let the world go by.
