Our stay at Merlot Cottage was magical and we will be back again!

I loved how quiet and peaceful the property was and all the special touches including the breakfast hamper and complimentary bottle of wine. We had everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking and plenty of platters and cheese knives for a nibbles board. There was also ample fire wood for the fireplace.

I enjoyed the serenity of the property and it had lots of space for the kids to run around outside. The breakfast provided was very nice with an added bottle of wine which was a great gesture.

We'll be back again. Perfect location and just a nice feel.

The big things were first class - location, cleanliness, amenities. But it was all the little things that made this a great stay. The property itself, breakfast, their own wine. Danielle was terrific.

Cosy vineyard cottage

We had a wonderfully warm welcome and were delighted with the generous breakfast hamper. The cottage had a lovely homely feel and was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Nestled on the vineyard, it was peaceful and relaxing - we would definitely come back!

We enjoyed our stay and would come again. Danielle & Declan are really warm hosts & staying at a small vineyard

It was clean and welcoming with wood all chopped & ready for the fire. Also had split system aircon. Cozy! Fresh organic eggs from the chooks in the backyard, bacon, bread, butter & a good selection of cereals. And a bottle of wine included. Beautiful firepit outside where we toasted marshmallows. So nice to sit there and watch the sun go down, hear the birds and then the frogs. Beautiful starry night sky too. Really nice wine & cheese tasting where Declan took us through all the wines and explained the good pairings. Don’t miss this! He is a wealth of information.

Lovely stay as a weekend break from Sydney, and an excellent location to explore the Hunter Valley from. Danielle and Declan were friendly and easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend their wine tasting additionally.
