A clean, spacious property with great hosts and a great location. The cellar door is a very short walk from the property and I highly recommend booking a tasting while you stay.

Accommodation was perfect for our group of 19. Enough space for everyone and such a beautiful setting. John and Sasha were outstanding hosts who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. The kids had so much space to run around, play games and swim, we had no trouble getting them off screens for the entire weekend! Highly recommend

A truly beautiful property, inside and out, luxuriously fitted out with and with every possible amenity. The service both before and during our stay was also outstanding.

Birthday weekend away

Great property, fridge was well stocked with food and wine, I had my birthday here with 13 people and stayed in the main house and cottage. Only disappointment was the fire could not be used. This was one of the main reasons I chose this place. Pool will be great in Summer
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Mar 2020
Thanks for your great 5 star review! Degen Estate is perfect for celebrations. Apologise, the custom fireplace is almost finished and we're glad the reverse cycle air conditioning kept you toasty. The pool is gorgeous and ready for guests this summer.

Excellent property with everything you possibly need, all the bedding and sheets were clean and organised. The property sits on an amazing block with fantastic views. The owners of the property could of not been more helpful but also friendly. I have stayed in the hunter 50 + times and is this is by far the best!

The perfect luxury escape

Everything from check in to check out was absolutely perfect. John met us at the house and showed us around - and incredible space both inside and out. All rooms, bathrooms and common spaces were beautiful. The dining table and pool area were the absolute winners. No to mention the small horses John was able to bring over for a visit (his “children”). A truly magical weekend - we’ll definitely be back.

Wonderful stay & winery in the Hunter

Stayed for my 30th birthday with 13 friends and we had the most lovely stay at Degan Estate. The main house had good communal spaces for dining and entertaining. The cottages had a kitchen and living room each, allowing enough space for all guests. A lovely surprise is being able to visit the winery for one of the best tastings we’ve experienced - the wines were delicious and they kindly brought out complimentary cake for us to have for my birthday. The team at Degan Estate love what they do and it shows through winery and accommodation. Highly recommend!

Well equipped, comfortable and good outdoor space

House was well equipped with everything you could need and a small (probably user) problem with outdoor lights was dealt with by property Management promptly which was fantastic. Biggest complaint is that there is no comfortable living area in a common area but could be easily solved.

Excellent property

Well equiped and clean. They offer absolutely no flexibility in the check in despite having time. I asked for earlier check in (even 30 minutes would have helped) to arrange some surprises for my guests and they made it very clear that I was not to enter the property until the allocated time of 3pm despite the cleaners having finished long before. It would have made a big difference to our overall experience and made no difference to the owners. For this reason we won’t be booking through Hunter Valley Stays in the future. The property itself however is fantastic and has everything you’d need and want.

Hi Chris Thank you for acknowledging how well equipped and clean Degen Estate was for your company gathering. As Degen is a very large rural estate to get ready between guest stays, there are several teams involved in preparing the property and grounds, and so we require the full turnaround time to ensure that every service beyond cleaning is 100%. If you do require access to the property much earlier in the day, please make that request with our Reservations Team at the time of booking and we will add an additional night at the beginning of your stay. With thanks from the Team at Hunter Valley Stays.
