No Parties or Events This home is not suitable for parties, events, weddings, or large gatherings. We absolutely welcome groups of adults enjoying their time together—just with consideration for the home and our neighbours. If it’s the kind of stay that would create excessive noise or disruption, it’s probably not the right fit for this property.

These are positioned only in external access areas (such as entrances) and are used solely for security and neighbourhood monitoring. All devices comply with local regulations. Some properties may also have a noise monitoring device installed. These devices do not record conversations and are used only to monitor overall noise levels in line with the NSW Short-Term Rental Code of Conduct. Guests must not tamper with, disconnect, or remove any monitoring equipment.
Compliance We appreciate your cooperation in respecting these guidelines. Breaches of house rules may result in additional charges, cancellation of your booking, or involvement of local authorities where required.
Insurance: As always, but ever so more due to recent times, we strongly encourage any holidaymakers to obtain a very inexpensive 3rd Party Domestic Travel Insurance Policy to cover you for all manners of matters which may restrict travel. This is particularly helpful for things like Hunter Valley Concert cancellations, Covid or Medical and Other Emergencies for which we don't provide refunds, and anything which falls under our standard Terms & Conditions irrespective of the reason.

Septic very stinky coming back through drain into the house. Modem didn’t work. Iron left stains all over clothes and there was no ironing board so had to use a towel on the table. No fans so bedrooms were terribly hot and air con in main house either wasn’t working or was undersized for the house because it didn’t seem to keep the house cool. Fridge was too small for 14 people, we didn’t bring eskies so it made it hard to fit all the food in the fridge that needed to be kept cool. The surrounds were nice and quiet and lovely country feel. Close to many wineries and cafes.
