Located just 1½ hours drive north of the Wahroonga M1 turnoff in the heart of the Lovedale wine growing area, Summerfield is ideal for a weekend escape. Enjoy a weekend of wine tasting, and enjoying the Hunter's best restaurants or just while away the hours lazing on the veranda watching the kangaroos and the sunset over the dam.

If you are a star watcher, the big sky at Summerfield offers fantastic vistas of the night sky unimpeded by city lights.

Gorgeous property we loved our stay

Kangaroos greet us us when we arrived and the house was lovely and cosy. The kids loved playing in the garden and running up to visit the horses at the fence. We will definitely stay again!

Wonderful place to unwind - comfortable & generous

Hi Corinne We just left summerfield. It was just brilliant - thank you so much for setting up the place so well for us. Ella our 17 month old and mozart the schnauzer had so much fun running about. Loved the miniature horses - we fed them carrots and they always came to greet us. Your flexible checkin/ out times and open pantry were so generous - it made our stay even more enjoyable. We look forward to our next stay. Thanks again

Stunning Summerfield

What a beautiful location and charming cottage! The breakfast provided was plentiful with eggs, bacon, yoghurt, cereals and a lovely bowl of fresh fruit which I’m sad we didn’t get to eat more of. Correspondence with Corinne was easy and prompt with all my questions asked responded to. Pets are allowed and my dog had the best time trotting around the grounds with us and laying by the fire pit. We will def be back for another family holiday ! Thankyou again Corinne!

Fantastic spot to relax and enjoy your day.

It is a great place, central to so many local attractions. On arrival place was beautifully presented home away from home, all we had to bring was clothes and personel items. Kitchen was well stocked with basics plus yogurt, eggs bacon fruit to kick start a day and a great excuse to eat out on other meals but we did prepare light meals in the full kitchen. Nice range of toiletries too. Beautiful views, nice to enjoy the fire and cosy beds. We highly recommend this place and will stay here again. Thank you so much for a great place to stay. nice cosy fire and blankets on these cold

Mirror Mirror on the wall.

Great location for the wedding we attended. The cute little house kept us dry and warm on a rainy weekend. Although a full length mirror somewhere would have been handy. Or at least decent sized mirrors in the bedrooms. Would have loved to experience the outdoor fireplace but the weather wasn’t on our side. Driveway was a bit hard to navigate with 3 cars as there was no way around each other without going off the driveway and due to all the rain it was very boggy! But all in all was a lovely place and the inclusion of breakfast (bacon, eggs, cereal and fruit) and a bottle of wine was a winner.

Excellent Home and Location

We had a fantastic time at Summerfield, the home was everything we expected and more. From the bowl of fruit to the chocolate, breakfast and wine bottle we loved it all. Very clean and tidy, lots of linen, towels, bath robes even slippers. Pantry was very well stocked and the covered veranda area was fantastic, it rained on Sunday but we were still able to have breakfast there. We are already thinking of going back as wineries and other activities are close by. Highly recommended.

Great stay in Lovedale

We had a great time staying at Summerfield. It was nice to stay on that side of Lovedale and the views back to the Brokenback Range are stunning. Waking up to hot air balloons rising in the distance was a bonus. Lovely house with everything we needed, and an abundance of goods in the fridge and pantry. We really enjoyed our breakfast and dinners on the verandah. It’s easy to get to all the wineries and really close to the entrance of the freeway. Perfect for a family getaway.

The gorgeous little cozy property was just what we needed for a girls (mums)trip away.

This property was cozy, comfortable and clean. The owner went above and beyond filling her cupboards with extra little treats and snacks. We went away for a mums getaway and sitting by the fire, playing games and listening to music was just so relaxing and peaceful. Highly recommend this property, if your looking for time away in the Hunter Valley region. It's in a really lovely location, not far from cafes, wineries and restaurants. The owner was beautiful to deal with and made everything else very easy. Thankyou

Summerfield

We’re returning visitors; Summerfield is a lovely cozy cottage in a beautiful location and Corrine is a great host. Unfortunately we were unlucky this time with torrential rain during our stay, but luckily the cottage kept us perfectly warm & dry. We’d love to come back again another time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and Hunter without the rain.

Annual Girls’ Weekend Away

A home away from home. Loved it. Not too far from the heart of Wine Country but far enough to enjoy the quiet. Fully stocked with everything you could possibly need with a welcoming bottle of wine, chocolate and fruit basket and all the ingredients for a cooked breakfast. Great fire to curl up with at the end of an evening with a glass of wine. Will definitely be back. Thanks for everything Corinne.
