Very nice stay

It was the perfect size for the number of people and very cosy and comfortable. The kids loved the games room. A few things missing from the kitchen drawers like a vegetable peeler and a broom for sweeping the floors, but otherwise a great stay.

Great location in a comfortable house

Perfect for our requirements with 2 kids and a dog. The kids loved the big garden and roasting marshmallows on the firepit as well as the pool table. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. It really was everything we needed for a relaxing break.

Great Hunter Valley getaway.

The property has been beautifully updated. Comfortably fitted a large family group. Location is great as only a short drive into Cessnock and Hunter Valley. Communication with owners was very easy and prompt and all requests were not a problem. The games room and fire pit are fun additions. Definitely recommend.
