The Cottage @ Hunter Gleann - Much more than the average cottage!

With 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, lounge dining, full kitchen, laundry, a bar (yes a bar), ducted air conditioning, fireplace inside, fire pit outside, private outdoor area with BBQ. It is so much more than your average cottage!

Hunter Gleann is a 14 acre property, conveniently located on Hermitage Road Pokolbin and boasts great views over our olive groves and neighbouring vineyards in all directions and views of Brokenback Mountain Range to the west from its hill top location. Wake to the serenity that abounds on this beautiful acreage.

Enjoy a stroll around the property surrounded by local wildlife including the resident Kangaroos. Head out on one of the many wine tours, enjoy a food and wine workshop or catch a concert from the many Aussie and international artist that visit the Valley. There are too many activities in the Hunter wine region to list.

Heading up for a wedding? It’s a great place for the whole family. The homestead and cottage combined will sleep up to 19 people.

The 2 bedroom cottage is great space with 2 bathrooms. The rooms have a combination of beds and bunks. Linen? Don’t worry about sheets, towels etc as we have you covered.

Enjoy the comfort of the lounge while socialising by the fire place, catching up on a little television or just taking a little time out.

Enjoy the view of the neighbouring vineyards from your private outdoor area while you enjoy an evening meal and a glass of the Hunter’s finest.

Did I mention that you can just walk across the Paddock to Restaurant Botanica and Spa Anise at Spicers Vineyards Retreat? Several other restaurants and wineries are also close by and many of our guests have enjoyed the walk.

If you are venturing out to one of the many great Hunter Valley concerts the coach collects you and drop back to drive way (bookings required.)

Great getaway

We loved our weekend away staying at Hermitage Hideaway cottage. There’s plenty of space & it’s such a peaceful little pocket of the Hunter yet close enough to all the action.

Great stay

“We arrived to a bottle of wine from my favourite winery (which Rachael and James so kindly remembered!) and it only got better from there! The space is incredible, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was stocked and it was so close to everything! I will definitely be staying at Hermitage Hideaway again!” Brent
