Rules on Noise. We do accept birthday and even hen's and bucks but only on the condition you have no plans for an outdoor music concert :). We only allow music to be played from a hand held portable bluetooth speaker and nothing louder as we've had issues in the past when guests bring a sound system and blast music all night disturbing our neighbours. So we only allow music outside until 8pm and only via a bluetooth speaker. If these expectations are consistent with your plans then the lodge will be fantastic for your getaway. If you are caught bringing a sound system larger than a portable bluetooth system that you can grasp in the palm of your hands, your booking will be cancelled plus $500 fine. You will need to explicitly state you agree to these conditions of booking for your request to be accepted.

The property is lovely and well maintained with everything you need for a weekend away. Plenty of space and activities for everyone, highly recommend this stay.
17 of us headed for a Christmas get a way and we all had a fab time. The house was perfect, lots of space and different areas and lots of land around. Very close to the wineries too! Thanks for hosting us David!

Excellent stay!
We had a wonderful weekend away at Lovedale Lodge, enjoying a concert at Bimbadgedn Winery. The accommodation was so clean and everything was there that we needed. David looked after us and nothing was a problem. This is an awesome place for a large group and we will definitely be back again. It was already my second visit. I’ll be back for a third!
Thanks again, David.
We all had a wonderful week at Lovedale. There was enough space for us all to have our own space. We had busy teenagers, uni students who had to study and octogenarians who had to nap and all were able to do what we had to do! Thanks Faya. We will be back. Ilona.
We had about 22 people come up and enjoy the weekend away
There was plenty of space for all of us both to enjoy during the days as well as sleep at night
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lovedale Lodge. The property was very spacious, and our group of 18 adults had plenty of room. The new renovations added a lovely touch to the place. The large living and dining areas , as well as the abundance of cutlery, plates and utensils were ideal for the group. Would definitely recommend staying here, Faya is a lovely host who was very accommodating.
The property is unbelievable - seriously couldn’t recommend a better property for a large group. There are 3x quarters within the house and so much room for large groups to congregate together or go off for their own space. We stayed for my 30th birthday with a group of 24 people and never once felt overwhelmed with the amount of guests all in one place as it’s so spacious.
We stayed in winter but the fire pit ensured we could still say outside, sit around the fire and enjoy the outdoors. It would be amazing too in the summer, as the pool looked great!
The property itself is huge and there is so much grass room for activities.
Faya (the host) is without a doubt the most accomodating and friendly host I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He accommodated every request we had and any questions were answered promptly. Nothing was too hard for Faya and to put it simply, he is just a legend.
Overall the weekend away at the property for my 30th was one of the best of my life - we all had so, so much fun. I truly cannot recommend it enough for large groups - if you are staying in the Hunter with a massive bunch of friends and family there is simply nowhere better to stay.
Amazing place, has all you need to cater for a larger group. Amazing rooms, beds, couches , kitchens cant fault it.
Faya has added a great touch to the place.
Great location close to wineries but the property is bigger enough you feel in the middle of the bush.
Have stayed 4 times and would stay again.
The property was excellent all of the guests loved it and commented on how great it was. Beds where comfy, house was clean all the amenities you could need. Perfect spot to visit all the local attractions as its not to far out of town. Perfect for a large group.
David (the owner) takes pains in looking after the property personally.
He would have a much better property if he could organize wifi at the property.
Overall the property is good for a family and friends group as there is a lot of place for outdoor activity and swimming in the pool.
The property was fantastic. There was so many different spaces to sit and relax. The beds were comfy. The rooms were all clean and spacious. The pool was fabulous. I would highly recommend David place to anyone visiting the Hunter. We will definitely come back again
Winederful and relaxing weekend getaway (18-20th Dec 2020)
Thank you David... My friends (group of 18) and I enjoyed our stay and will treasure our first CHRISTmas getaway. So nice to have the whole 3 villa for ourselves. Love the salt water pool too 😉😏😁
Highly recommended if u want peace and quiet away from everything. Definitely we'll be back!
