Beautiful house on the edge of wine country. Rooms were large and the house was packed with facilities. Lovely large kitchen with everything you needed for a stay with the family. Grounds were beautiful and pool amazing . This was a perfect house and location for our weekend getaway away with the family to Hunter Valley.

“Quaint & Quiet”
The pool was definitely the highlight for the kids with all the humidity. The kitchen was well equipped and we had a lovely gift waiting for us in the fridge on arrival.
