Great Cottages
We booked 2 cottages for a group of around 15 people including kids. Both houses were above our expectation, great setting in the woodland, lovely and spacious inside with a spacious verandah space externally. The swimming pool was a decent size too. Check in process was easy with Kirsty also, she communicated well throughout the process.
I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a trip to the Hunter and hope to be back.

Awesome !
Such a great location and accommodation within short distance to Sydney.
Communication with the property owner has been very prompt and fortunately we met her and she is very friendly and has been very considerate for late checkout.
It has been a great stay for us .
