Wollombi getaway
The house looked better than the photos on the listing. The composting toilet is a bit annoying and definitely smells. The decor was very cute and lovely grounds. We really enjoyed our stay. No shops nearby so bring any food/snacks you want!

Fantastic weekend away
We stayed here for the weekend to attend a wedding in the area. We were very impressed with the property and its charm. We would definitely stay again or recommend to others. Short walk or drive to town centre. Thank you for the personal touches, with the welcome sign and wine and chocolate.

The Lodge
Spent two nights here in late August. The Lodge is a lovely rustic cottage that we thoroughly enjoyed staying at. The fire was ready to light and a nice bottle of red and some chocolate greeted us on our arrival. Only 2 minutes from Wollombi and close to many wineries.

Ok
We had a mixed view of the Lodge. We stayed here due to the location as we were attending a wedding at Redleaf It was in a great location, good size and very easy check-in. The place was very clean and had a bottle of wine and chocolate left as a gift which was a nice touch. A very nice and spacious outdoor area. However, there were a few negatives: There was no mobile reception and no wifi. There was no iron which I probably should have checked rather than assuming there'd be one. Since we were attending a wedding, we needed one and was very difficult getting our hands on one. Also no shampoo / conditioner, again something you expect when paying several hundred dollars a night. There was no linen... only a bottom sheet and a quilt and my partner came up with hundreds of little bites which we suspect came from the bed. You can't drink the water but there was 10L bottle of drinking water available. Also to watch out for: The beams in the house are very low. Being 190cm I was constantly hitting my head and having to walk hunched over. Getting to the toilet was also quite challenging. A lot of wildlife gets inside. We had a rather large lizard run across the floor and an enormous Huntsman on the wall. Given the regional area you probably have to expect this. Overall it was ok but for the price I'd look elsewhere

Very pleasant stay. Thank you. Would like to go again in winter and enjoy the fireplace. Quiet country outlook. Very close to town and excellent meal in local pub and restaurant. Thank you for the unique experience and the bottle of wine and chocolate.

Full of character and a great location
Ignore the rather shabby facade. Once you enter, it is full of character and has a welcoming, homely feel. We came for a wedding and found the location to be excellent. Very close to the hotel and cafes on one side and the wedding venue, Red Leaf, a few minutes from ve on the other. We wish we had booked for a longer stay and will return to si be more time at The Lodge and visit the wineries.

Great Getaway
Just what I hoped for. A quiet retreat within walking distance of Wollombi village. Clearly this is an old cottage which has been carefully renovated to retain its charm. I saw lots of birds including satin bower birds from the pleasant outdoor areas and large windows. Only one caveat ... there are 4 steps up to the toilet, which could be a problem for those with mobility issues.

Four great days at Wollumbi
A lovely rustic property with beautiful grounds and surroundings. Well equipped and very functional . Very comfortable beds and it contained everything we needed for an enjoyable stay . A beautiful log fire with ample supply of wood and the bottle of red wine and chocolate was much appreciated on our arrival. The property within a short walking distance of the Wollumbi township. If you wanted a few quiet days away I would recommend it.

Mini break at The Lodge
Loved this rustic gem just a short walk from the quirky and historic town of Wollombi. Enjoyed exploring local history in the mini museum at the old courthouse in town, and breakfast on the sunny deck at Myrtle & Stone. The Lodge has everything you need plus beautifully tranquil sunny, gardens in which to unwind. Also enjoyed the complimentary chocolate and wine and a log fire on our first night there. Thank you Richard - we'll definitely be back!
