    The place is located at the picturesque part of the Hunter Valley and the less travel part of the tourist belt. There're hardly any traffic and we get to enjoy the view, sunset and local vineyard scenes at our own pace.

    The location was amazing. Tranquil location and stunning views. The owners were wonderful, helped with information about the property and recommended some local restaurants and places to visit. The property is close to everything yet feels like...
  • Catherine

    Loved the layout of the place and the lovely gifts left for us upon arrival! The bed was comfortable, everything was spacious and we had plenty of facilities (including kitchen appliances) to be able to ‘live’ there comfortably.
