Amelia-Rose Estate: Lovedale 6-bdr retreat with pool & fireplace—Memories await!
Step into the storybook charm of Amelia-Rose, where every arrival feels like the beginning of a new memory. Set in the very heart of Lovedale, and surrounded by award-winning restaurants, cellar doors and wedding venues, this enchanting country homestead is embraced by five park-like acres, blooming rose gardens, and sweeping green lawns that cast a peaceful spell from the moment you pull in.
Inside, the Story Unfolds
- Sunlit mornings in spacious bedrooms invite a soft, lazy start to your days. - A chef’s kitchen beckons for heartfelt meal preparation and sharing. - Covered verandahs and the sparkling pool area become favourite spots for afternoon repose, as birdsong drifts on the breeze. - Gather around the crackling wood fire for laughter-filled evenings, or step out onto the verandah at golden hour with a glass of Hunter wine, the scent of fresh grass mingling with barbecue aromas. - Spaces Designed for Connection - Open-plan living areas perfect for festive dinners, game nights, and lingering conversations. - Five restful bedrooms and two elegant bathrooms in the main house. - A charming studio cabin offering privacy and whimsical comfort for up to four additional guests + an additional bathroom
Entertainment & Exploration
- Cooling dips in the sparkling pool on warm days. - Long soaks in the clawfoot bath to unwind in style. - Board games at sunset, wine in hand and laughter all around. - Late‑night fun in the games room, perfect for friendly competition. - Cosy evenings by the indoor wood fireplace, where stories and red wine flow easily. - Crackling nights around the outdoor firepit, under a canopy of stars—ideal for roasting marshmallows, sharing memories, or simply enjoying the stillness of the countryside. - Peaceful mornings by the dam, a coffee in hand, watching nature wake up (children to be supervised near the water). - Shady spots for reading, relaxing, or catching up in the fresh country air.
This is more than a getaway, it’s a setting where traditions are born and life’s best moments unfold. By the time you drift off to sleep in your serene suite, you’ll already be dreaming of your return to Amelia-Rose.

Swimming Pool Availability: Where applicable, swimming pools will be open from the beginning of the NSW September school holidays and will close after the NSW Easter school break to be winterised. Pools are maintained in accordance with seasonal and safety guidelines.
Fireplace and Firewood Use: Indoor fireplaces and outdoor fire pits are available for use between the NSW Easter and September school holidays, aligning with regional fire safety regulations.
