Location is amazing. Privacy. Great views. Kangaroos on the lawns in early morning. Lovely wine in the fridge upon arrival. Ceiling fans, mozzie screens on windows. Close proximity (walking distance) to a restaurant. Quiet. Good coffee machine. Porch- nice to sit on when it rains. Good distance from neighbours so loved the privacy.

The place was amazing! we had the best time there with my boyfriend.

Tamara Argentina

Location and privacy is incredible! Beautiful views out over Scarborough vineyard. Such a cute and self contained cottage, had everything we need! Little kitchen area (no oven) to cook, nice lounge area with a TV, outdoor table and chairs so you can have a platter looking out over the view. The freestanding bath tub was a luxe touch! Owners are really friendly :)

Susie & Ken, the owners & hosts warmly welcomed us & happily ensured all our needs were met throughout our stay. We enjoyed the uniqueness & tranquility of staying amidst the picturesque vineyards in a cosy & well appointed cottage, of which the Surrounding gardens ensured our privacy.

Kenneth Australia

Our hosts were lovely and very accommodating. We liked everything. It was spotlessly clean, breakfast provisions were great and the added muffins were good. It was warm and cosy with the choice of a/c and or wood fire.

Anne Australia

Suzie was very helpful from the time we made the booking until we left. She was always available if we had any questions and check in and check out were super easy. It is an amazing place with incredible views over the Hunter. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here!

Courtney Australia

Beautiful location and views. Hosts were very kind and hospitable, providing complimentary home made hot cross buns for our Easter weekend, fresh eggs, and a bottle of wine. The place was cleanly and cosy, and had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely be back again!

Karina Australia

Great sized cottage equipped with everything you need for a long weekend away. Surrounded by perfectly manicured grounds and unspoiled mountain views. Very peaceful and private whilst still being in the heart of the hunter.

Alexander Australia

Berenbell Vineyard is absolutely amazing. It was peaceful and beautiful and the accomodation was so clean, comfortable and cosy. We loved that it was cold so we could use the fireplace. We had a great time and would definitely stay at Berenbell again.
