Excellent cottages for a short stay in the Hunter Valley

The cottages were perfect for a family Easter. Very conveniently located to wineries, restaurants and other places of interest. Very comfortable spacious cottages with great verandahs to gather as a family and look at the peaceful view. Very clean and fitted with everything we needed. Would highly recommend the cottages.

Beautiful surroundings

We had a lovely time at the location but felt that the cabins needed updating especially the showers which were not good at all. BBQ facilities were fabulous

Great escape

Was very nice to find a “country” location to unwind from the busyness of Sydney. Very accommodating management company in arranging wine tasting excursion. Enjoyed watching kangaroos throughout the property.

Beautiful cottages and landscape

The property was beautiful, exceptional on the cleanliness and all the extras that were supplied was very thoughtful. We were just a bit disappointed on the location of the swimming pool and that there are no tables and chairs around the BBQ area.

Perfect base to explore the region

We stayed for two nights at North Lodge (both houses) and had a fantastic time. The facilities were excellent and the outlook Devine. We particularly liked the samples of local produce provided, as well as the wood fires in each cottage. A perfect place to relax and sample the wine we had acquired during the day!

Fabulous stay in the Hunter Valley

North Lodge Cottages is in the most stunning location. Complete peace and quiet but with a wonderful array of wineries and restaurants only a short drive away. There is even a zoo where you can feed very friendly kangaroos! Speaking of kangaroos, a real highlight was seeing kangaroos at the bottom of our garden! The cottages are set on a huge expanse on land complete with reservoirs bringing lots of birds and wildlife. Chris and Tina were fabulous hosts and had lots of excellent recommendations on things to do. We can't thank them enough for our perfect stay in the Hunter Valley.

Highland Cottage

My wife and I stayed at the Highland Cottage in April for three delightful days. The cottage was very well appointed with everything one would wish for but the highlight must be the large wrap around verandahs with the delightful views of the property and the mountains and waking in the morning to the chatter of birds and frogs and on two mornings having a mob of some dozen kangaroos not more than 20 metres from the cottage. Idyllic and far from the madding crowd! David

Perfectly suited for a weekend away

We stayed the weekend for a 30th birthday. The houses were well suited, close to wineries but still secluded enough to feel away from the crowds.
