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
