We didn't have breakfast included, so can't comment. The location was a bit out of the way, but also made it quite peaceful. Really enjoyed the tranquility

Tim Australia

Amazing location! Easy communication with the host The house has everything you would need You get wine! = D

Juan Australia

The view and the area is amazing, quiet and peaceful, we had amazing family time.

Lisa Australia

We ran out of wine in the night and the owner came and sold us some of his reds straight from the cellar!

Matthew Australia

Bracken Ridge villas is in a lovely quiet location close to all of the northern Hunter Valley wineries etc. The cottages are well spaced out and very comfortable with all you need, including a good kitchen etc if you wish to cater yourself. There were beds both upstairs in the loft and downstairs.The shower pressure was very good and hot. There is a small amount of unsealed road from Heritage Road, but we also chose to access the property from the Wine Country Drive side, which is less sealed but no problems and quicker to some locations. Judith was excellent to deal with and thanks to Judith and Chris for the lovely wine!

Carl Australia

The log fire had enough timber to keep us warm and was very easy to light. My bed and pillow was comfortable. The shower was hot.

Cheryl Australia

Stunning location! Very picturesque. A lot of privacy. My son loved the chickens and being able to see kangaroos in the fields nearby.

Elizabeth Australia

Beautiful and peaceful location that was very close to wineries and restaurants but far enough for a quiet getaway. The weekend was cool enough overnight to light a fire which Judith our wonderful host started for us.

Jenny Australia

Secluded and quiet with plenty of space between villas. Villa was super cosy and comfortable-it was gorgeous!

Stephanie Australia

Everything was perfect! Very keen to go back as soon as possible :)

Bracken Ridge Villas is a relaxing country estate set on a working vineyard in the heart of the Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia. The natural beauty of the Brokenback mountain range peeps over the vines. Relax on your private verandah or sit down by the dam and watch the abundant wildlife. A destination for all seasons Bracken Ridge Villas are set on a 25 acre estate of expansive lawns and Semillon and Shiraz vineyards. Private gardens surround each two-story loft style villa. Each well appointed self-contained villa comes complete with a fully fitted kitchen and clean quality bed and bath linen are supplied for your vacationing comfort. There are intimate villas which also feature a romantic spa bath for two. Relax and enjoy the cozy log fire in winter and air conditioning in summer.
Your hosts welcome you with a complimentary bottle of Bracken Ridge Estate boutique wine to enjoy during your stay. Bracken Ridge Villas your home in the Hunter!
Your mini break begins here in the Hunter Valley! We have local wineries, family run restaurants and quaint little coffee shops to visit. The locals are friendly and happy to see you. The weekends usually have a few homemade in the Hunter markets to visit, foodie cooking classes to attend or even a horseback ride in the paddocks between the vineyards. There are bicycles to rent and ride on the smooth purpose-built bike tracks or even country lanes to explore. The air is crisp and clean and it really feels like you have had a break when you come for a mini break to the Hunter Valley.
