About this property

Sascha's Retreat The Hunter Valley -Pokolbin - Pet friendly- Unlimited NBN wi-fi

The Property

This recently lovingly restored Mine Managers Cottage now enjoys all the modern conveniences.

The character rich home is a perfect escape for family and friends, wedding and reunions. It’s also pet friendly.

It has a private 6-hole range golf course, challenging for all types of golfers, as well as dams with yabbies and perch.

There are BMX style jumps and tyre swings for the kids, along with 20 acres of groomed grass to safely wear the kids and pets out.

The pool and entertainment area are perfect for a sunset drink and swim, whilst taking in the beautiful views of the Broken Back Range.

We are in the heart of the concerts and award-winning restaurants in the Hunter Valley. Set just 2 km away from the Vintage Golf Course, the Bimbadgen Winery on MacDonald’s Road and a mere 6-minute drive to Hope Estate.

What our Guests say: "What a beautiful home, thank you for sharing it with us. A unique property with so many things to do, the natural Billabong, is something special”.

Concerts

The majority of concerts are held at Bimbadgen Estate (20 min walk away, 4-5 min drive), Hope Estate or Roche Estate which are both a 10 min drive away.

If you speak directly with Rover Coaches, they will do a pick up and drop off door to door. Unfortunately, they only run on the major concerts. Ensure you call them in advance to book your seat before they sell out. The coast of the coach fares is approx. $20 per person last time I checked.

Weddings, Engagements & Events at Sascha’s Retreat

Saschas Retreat is an ideal venue to hold relatively small and affordable weddings.
The guidelines are:

1 Naturally only 8 people can stay overnight in the cottage (we are not a campsite for caravans, trailers or individual tents, as this requires additional council approval).

2. We have several wedding packages, for consideration, as we cater for small boutique weddings. Packages are available upon request. If you wish to hold a post-wedding BBQ the following day, there are no additional costs.

3. Our event organiser and stylist can remove a lot of the stress when planning an event. They are included in our packages and cater to a wide variety of events (weddings, cocktail parties, birthdays etc).

4. Marquees have been set up historically and we can introduce you to a local supplier, if you so desire.

7. Naturally, we don’t have kitchenware, glasses or cutlery to support additional guests. These will need to be organised by yourself, or hired (we can recommend a few event hire companies).

8 The external aspects of the property are covered by video surveillance.

9. There is an agreed time to when celebrations and music will finish (non-staying guests will vacate the property)

Please contact us to learn more about the different wedding packages on offer, for your special day.

A beautiful vista makes for ultimate relaxation.
This property is the perfect retreat, close to wineries and shops for essentials and a lovely pool to swim in. The rooms are large and lovely and the aircon works a treat on hot days! Would definitely rent again!

The property was great and we enjoyed the Area. We got to use all the property had to offer. We played golf, went for walks, swam in the pool, got to ride our bikes around the property, played games and had some really nice breakfast’s, lunches and dinners. We saw lots of Kangaroos in the mornings and the afternoons. We would definitely refer people to stay at this property.

Happy to talk and hear about your experiences and any future recommendations to make the stay even better

Why they chose this property

Its been privately held for 21 years and only in the last few have we opened it to guests. The property was uninhabitable 20 years ago, so a lot of time, blood sweat and tears

What makes this property unique

Whilst we have stunning views over the hinter valley, sugar loaf mountain and the broken back ridge, you feel uniquely private as there is only one neighbour - which is approx 800 metres away. I've been told the golf range course is exceptionally hard and challenging for the most experienced golfers, If your passion is fishing there are yellow tail perch in the dam and the billabong does have fresh water bass.

The land is cleared for approx 20 acres so you can enjoy nature habitats best for a further 80b acres with all the Australian wildlife you would expect in their natural habitat.
There a selection of fresh herbs for the cuisine lovers with a lighted and free standing covered bbq for those special moments .

In addition we often set up the free standing tables to dine either around the pool area, or in the shade or sun , depending on the weather of the Hunter.

I believe we have now received more 5 star reviews than any other property in the hunter- so please read them as we have worked very hard to ensure you have a lovely stay
