Perfect hunter Valley escape
This was our second time staying here, and was every bit as pleasant as the first time. Perfect cosy escape within the Hunter Valley that is close in proximity to venues nearby.

This is a lovely cottage like property which feels peaceful and secluded in a country setting. Yet the facilities of North Rothbury and Huntlee (good pub, Coles, Cafe, chemist, etc) are a mere 4 kms down the road. And the full range of wineries, eateries and all the Hunter has to entice the visitor are within easy reach. To describe the cottage as a studio cannot convey how spacious and well equipped it is. It has air con as well as a ceiling fan, decent internet and phone connections, a full kitchen a terrific private patio and BBQ, and an excellent king bed and lovely bathroom with good shower. A perfect escape which is close to everything, secluded but not isolated. Thanks Lyn and partner!

2 Night Getaway
WOW - what an awesome little couples retreat. Comfortable, clean, and private, has everything you need. A little home away from home. Peace and quite. Easy drives to wherever you want to adventure out to. Owners were fantastic, very friendly. Will definitely stay again. Highly recommend for couples who are in need of a short or long break. Only downside was we had to come home.

Lovely weekend away
We had a great time staying at this property. Lyn was very kind to turn on the heater for us before we arrived, so we felt warmly welcomed. The property was clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well catered. The bathroom amenities were good, especially the excellent hot water system. We didn’t get to try out the barbecue and outdoor area, but it looked like a very pleasant way to while away an afternoon or evening. The property was well located as a go-between Cessnock, Branxton, and all the wineries in between. Overall, it was perfect place for a weekend in the Hunter.

Gorgeous and romantic Hunter Valley hideaway
The property oozes charm and romance for the perfect couple retreat to the Hunter Valley. The property is private, well appointed and has a great alfresco area to enjoy meals and a glass of wine. The styling is scandi and fresh and we thought the king bed was very comfortable. We would recommend this place to any couple looking to access the beauty of the Hunter Valley. 5 stars.
