Lovely weekender

We had a wonderful night as a group of friends here. Very useful to have a shop and cafe close by. Really enjoyed the fire pit. This would also be a fantastic place for a couple of families to stay, as the double beds and bunk bed rooms work really well. Thanks for having us!

Well appointed and spacious property

Great place to stay and communications with the ownner were friendly and efficient. With two under 16’s in the party we really appreciated the well equipped games room. The sofa and lounge chairs could do with a refurb but otherwise the facilities were excellent.

Beautiful clean relaxing cottage

Meet more than our expectations. The cottage was such a lovely place to stay in, with kitchen having everything and more you would need. The outside sitting area with a pit fire, the grocery shop across the way with all fresh and surprising produce and excellent coffee. We will definitely be back.

Winter Magic: Unforgettable Family Retreat in Hunter Valley

Our family retreat in Hunter Valley was truly unforgettable. Nestled amidst stunning scenery, the charming cottage provided a cozy haven with spacious bedrooms and modern amenities that made us feel right at home. The kids loved exploring the backyard during the day and unwinding with their favorite shows at night. A highlight was visiting the nearby Snow Time event at Hunter Valley Gardens, where the kids had a blast playing in the snow. Evenings were spent in the games shed, enjoying rounds of pool and darts. Gathering around the fire pit to roast marshmallows under the starlit sky was a favourite moment, filled with warmth and laughter. Conveniently located near local shops and eateries, we savoured exploring the area, creating lasting memories of laughter and adventure.

Perfect location for Hunter Valley visit

Alicia was very responsive and helpful, the property was clean spacious and when the additional games room is complete it will be the perfect kids retreat which will allow adults to kick back and relax but in our case use dit as a place to sleep overnight and it was perfect.
