Belinda Portugal

This was a great set up for multiple couples and groups. The 2 bed, 2 bathroom gave us enough space to all enjoy. The standout was the view over the vineyards and mountains. Loved sitting on the lawn soaking it all in.

Jessica Australia

Location amazing. Beautiful scenery. Breakfast self contained with plenty available. Special touch of hot cross buns for Easter. Would highly recommend.

Greg Australia

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!

  • Hi. What's public transport like on a Friday night? Will we be able to get a taxi/uber in the area? Thanks.

    Both taxis and ubers are available in the Pokolbin area. There are also other shuttle services to choose from as well. We would suggest pre booking your transport if you have any restaurant bookings as Friday evenings are extremely busy.
