a fantastic getaway location

This easy access property offered a lovely environment to relax, unwind and come together. A favourite location was the mosquito protected balcony which displayed a lovely view and a nice breeze. We would definitely recommend Woodmount Ridge!

Perfect family farm stays

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful farm property – the perfect family getaway! We were a group of 6 adults and a child, and the home was incredibly spacious and comfortable for all of us.The highlights for us were the cosy fireplace, the well-appointed bedrooms, and the stunning renovated kitchen and bathroom. The firepit was a great touch for evenings together, and the entire property was well set up with thoughtful inclusions throughout.The historic charm of the home was lovely, and it was ideal for our dogs too – they happily slept in the enclosed deck area. The neighbouring horses were a sweet surprise – we loved saying hello and giving them a pat.We’d highly recommend this stay for families looking for a peaceful break close to home, and we’ll definitely be back again!

Fabulous house for a group of four couples to get together.

Great house in a beautiful setting. Loved the indoor & outdoor fires. Enjoyed watching the sunset & the horses grazing in the paddock. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Cozy spaces indoor and out.Lots of thoughtful touches. We had a great get together. As advised we brought all our food, drink & wood with us. Shops & wineries are about twenty minutes away. Next time we will bring our horses, the arena look fabulous. Thanks for having us.

Not what we expected…

Beautiful property, but really need a good clean. Crockery and cutlery needs a good clean. Wanted to fry eggs, but frying pan was in a real bad state. Personally I don’t like drinking my coffee from a chippped mug.

Quite and peaceful!

Woodmount Ridge was a great place to stay with the family, there were 6 adults and 2 small children, we never felt crowded, there was plenty of room to spread out. As the weather was wet, cold and windy the indoor fire kept us warm and cozy! The beds were very comfortable, can highly recommend!

Exactly what we were after!

This was the perfect rural getaway for us and the family we were travelling with. Amelia made the process really easy and the house had everything we were after. The kids and dogs loved exploring the property and the area around. The proximity to Cessnock and Pokolbin worked for us as well as we were far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet but close enough to get the things we needed and keep the kids entertained. We're already planning a return to Woodmount Ridge!

Fantastic weekend away

Had a really enjoyable weekend away at Woodmount Ridge. The property was clean and had everything we needed to be relaxed and comfortable. Sitting outside next to the fire on our cold evenings was a real highlight. Highly recommended!

Saddle Club

As a group of 6 in the Valley for a friends celebration we were perfectly located and loved the great vibe of Woodmount Ridge. Cosy and welcoming with lovely touches from the wonderful host Amelia. Great place for a family or group - made me want to go back to my horse riding days and bring my puppy for a country experience :-)

Lovley place but better in winter

A beautiful property, not too far from wineries and restaurants. The only downside is how hot some of the bedrooms can get when its a hot summer day (35+). There was air-conditioning in the main living space and a small portable air conditioner is available + fans, but its not enough to cool all the bedrooms comfortably. Would absolutely stay again, but probably not in summer.

Wonderful stay in the Hunter Valley

We stayed at Woodmount Ridge for a family weekend and attending a wedding. Woodmount Ridge was super comfortable, spacious and well appointed, very clean, comfy beds and we had a great night around the camp fire! Easy access to the Hunter Valley wineries. Looking forward to our next visit!

Amazing!

This was an absolutely amazing stay. The beds were SO comfy and the oven was large enough to cook for an army. The fireplace was magic! The wrap around deck was a godsend, and so lovely to eat early morning breakfast in the fresh air! The kids loved the little row boat, and the horses! Honestly i would move here permanently if it was possible. It was a PERFECT stay!

December 2020 stay at Congewai

We were 3 families with 4 kids and loved the property. It's got enough space outdoors for the kids to run around, the bedrooms are small except for Master bedroom but compensated by two nice and large wrap-around terraces, as well as ample outdoor sitting space. Fire pits outdoors are an absolute hit. The farm is conveniently located ~15 minutes drive from Cessnock and ~30 minutes drive from Hunter Valley Christmas gardens. Amelia was very responsive and also proactive in recommending us the places we could go to. Last but not the least, Chris the neighbour grows beautiful organic produce - we got great kiffler potatoes, beets and also fresh organic eggs.

A wonderful weekend getaway

We had an excellent time away. The property is beautiful and well equipped. Amelia was very easy to communicate with. The house had plenty of room to accommodate everyone and we loved the wrap around verandah - this is enclosed and very useful in all weather conditions. It rained most of the time, but this didn’t prevent us from having a lovely time. We will be back to use the fire pit!

Everything you need

We stayed for a long weekend at the beautiful property. It was so lovely to hang out with friends there and it's spacious enough to have space to relax. We did the short drive (30mins) to the vineyards on two days to explore but loved laying on the beautiful lawns and sat around the fire put each evening. Although it was 40 degrees, it was such a relaxing and beautiful place to stay. Alicia was quick to respond to messages, so lovely and helpful, and Jane was also really helpful and allowed us to feed the horses.
