Magical

Never stayed anywhere like this. Felt magical sitting on the deck over the lake to see turtles and koi fish. At night, you can see the stars and hear the beautiful sounds of nature.

Beautiful experience

Beautiful scenery overlooking the water. We had a delicious cheeseboard recommended by the owner with the complimentary wine on the deck. Very clean. Good location near the wineries we wanted to visit.

Peaceful tranquil setting with stunning aesthetics. All the personal touches made our stay 10/10.

Our boathouse was simply stunning! The aesthetics were stylish yet felt like home. All the personal touches made the stay so comfortable. Our favourite part was the deck overlooking the water,.. they provide fish food which encouraged the fish and hungry terrapin to come and see us each morning. It was so peaceful and tranquil. We loved the little touches like providing plates, wine glasses etc which meant we were able to enjoy our tasting purchases from the local Lovedale wineries and delis (our favourite vineyards were in very close proximity). Also cracked out a dvd for a cosy night in! The sound of nature was awesome .. yes there are mozzys but there’s a mosquito net and just take some repellant if you want to spend time on the deck. The owners (Kristy) were on hand if we needed anything, there was an issue with hot water (for a short period) which was totally out of their control, due to planned works, however Kristy went out her way to provide us with a breakfast voucher for the inconvenience which was super appreciated. All in all 10/10 and we will definitely come and stay here again!

Deserted, overpriced and impraticable. Not recommended out of season.

No breakfast. No bottle of wine or fizz as advertised on the site. The place looks nice like a 'Homes and Gardens' spread, very trendy and chic.

The views are truly exceptional. When considering accommodation in the Hunter Valley, this location stands out as unique. We were fully immersed in nature, not merely adjacent to it. Kristy provided outstanding customer service, offering valuable suggestions and resolving any issues promptly. It was a beautiful place and a beautiful experience. Our sincere thanks.

We loved it, something different, romantic and quiet setting.

Quiet location, private, not too far from main town centres if needed. Different to regular types of accommodation something out of the square. The styling and linen were also beautiful, we loved the bath with the lighting in the garden outside, this was stunning.
