LOVEDALE ABODE is ideal for groups and sleeps up to 47 guests. You can also reach out directly via our brand new vebsite by searching for lovedalecountryestate. Be sure to mention you are inquiring about Lovedale Abode or Lovedale Lodge. This listing is Lovedale Abode. We have a second listing called Lovedale Lodge which is down the street (400 meters away) and is also a 9 bedroom listing, but this is separate listing - they are just nearby properties.
Finally on noise. We want to ensure you have no plans for an outdoor music concert :). We only allow music to be played from a handheld portable bluetooth speaker and nothing louder as we've had issues in the past when guests bring a sound system and blast music all night disturbing our neighbours. So we only allow music outside until 8pm and only via a hand held bluetooth speaker. If these expectations are consistent with your plans then the lodge will be fantastic for your getaway. If you are caught bringing a sound system larger than a handheld portable bluetooth system that you can grasp in the palm of your hands, your booking will be cancelled. You will need to explicitly state you agree to these conditions of booking for your request to be accepted.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 10 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 13 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a sofa bed.

Brilliant escape close to Sydney
We recently stayed at the Lovedale abode as a group of 20, and all had an incredible time! The houses and amenities exceeded our expectations by a long shot, and everyone commented on how well equipped the property was.The owner was remarkably easy to talk to, throughout the booking process and druing our stay, answering all of our questions quickly and allowing for reasonable booking changes throughout. I would highly recommend this stay for a big group looking for a quiet bush retreat not far from sydney.
