THE MANDALAY VILLA 1
Mandalay Villa - Secluded Hunter Valley Couples Retreat
Tucked away in the tranquil Congewai Valley, just 25 minutes from the heart of the Hunter Valley and 15 minutes from Cessnock, Mandalay Villas offer the ultimate secluded escape. Designed as the perfect couple's retreat, each villa is a stylish one-bedroom studio featuring a fully equipped kitchen, indulgent bathtub, private pool, and a cosy fireplace with firewood supplied at no extra charge.
Surrounded by sweeping rural landscapes, it's the kind of place where time slows down and every moment feels made just for you. Whether you're seeking a romantic weekend or a mid-week reset, this Hunter Valley farm stay invites you to unwind your way. Start your mornings with coffee on the patio as kangaroos graze nearby, spend the afternoon soaking by the pool, and finish the day curled up by the fire with a glass of local wine.
Mandalay Villas are not Pet-Friendly but may be considered on request, with approval required prior to your stay. For those wanting to explore the local area, transport to most major events in The Hunter Valley is available from the Paxton Hotel, just a 3-minute drive or 25-minute walk from the accommodation.*
Here, you're close enough to enjoy the region's best attractions, yet far enough to feel a world away.
