The property is beautifully decorated inside, big bedrooms, great living areas, very clean and comfy, very well equipped, absolutely loved our stay, perfect location for a girls wine weekend in the Hunter but the property would be fine for families too. The only negative is that it is on quite a busy road with concrete road so it is a bit noisy, they have double glazed the windows but it is still fairly noisy in the front rooms, they provide earplugs for if it is too loud for you, I slept in the front room and the noise didn’t keep me awake too much

Lovely well appointed home. Great stay for families attending weddings in Hunter as perfect home, central location with no more than 5-10mins to most destinations. Just a bit noisy as located on main road in/out of Cessnock

Beautiful and comfortable property
The property is well-situated to wineries and other tourist attractions in the Hunter Valley. The home is beautifully decorated with quality items. The beds are excellent and firm. Loved the fire place. Able to park in back yard, off the street and store mountain bikes in the garage for safe storage. Some very simple, nice touches - coffee pods and machine, all the kitchen items of home, ear plugs, and board games. Good inside and outside dining and a large living area with comfortable and plenty of seating. Communication with the owner was prompt and friendly. I highly recommend this property.
