Stay
Its a nice home, in a good location. Close to everything in the cessnock region and wasnt too far from wineries etc. The only down side was the beds where not comfortable and the guest house/second house had some issues with the powerboard so majority of things didnt work unless directly plugged in separately.

Very comfortable beds
Very quaint 2 very comfortable bed place. Not a bad location but not central either, glad we had a hire car. Simple checkin as owners live onsite. It has everything you would need for a weekend stay.
Needs lots of maintenance done lots of little things need attention. Enjoyable stay.
