Google home & Netflix. Spacious and comfortable

Christine Australia

The owners have thought of everything - from great kitchenware, Google Play, Spotify, Netflix and each bedroom individually themed - a lovely touch!. Plenty of space for our family. A very well curated holiday rental. Owners were very accommodating and easy to contact.

Margieanne Australia

This was the most amazing property. All of us staying there were blown away by this property, it’s location & it’s presentation.

Julie Australia

Lovely location with views out onto the vines. Great house for a group with all the amenities and well stocked kitchen, firewood, wifi, google etc. The bedrooms were a good size downstairs and extra large upstairs with ensuits and very comfy beds. Very nicely decorated and super clean. And loved the coffee machine. Nice touches throughout the house.

Melanie Australia

A beautiful home in a picturesque location! Conveniently located to all the Hunter has to offer! Our group had a wonderful time! Can't wait to go back!

Natalie Australia

Hosts very responsive and accommodating. Great spaces for our party of 4 couples with 3 bathrooms. Kitchen well set up and loved ample supplies of coffee for the machine and teas. Enjoyed the outdoor table and pretty chairs for breakfast and afternoon drinks after our daytime adventures. Everything we wanted was very close

Elizabeth Australia

Outdoor area was great to sit and have meals overlooking the vineyard.

Liz Australia

The cottage was amazing with beautiful views of the vines and mountains. Very spacious, fitting 8 adults comfortably. Nice touches like Mor toiletries, coffee pods, games, Google Home & Spotify. The wood fire was also great.

Alana Australia

Property was very homely. Location was good on a quiet street not too far from the vineyards.

Michael United Arab Emirates

This house is so beautiful. Lovely place to spend time with family or friends. The full equipped kitchen - including plenty of beautiful serving dishes makes for lovely meals in the cosy dining room. Waking up to the views of vineyard and mountains and the ducks in the pond was so lovely. The fire place is so fab too!

Loki and Paru

Set in Pokolbin in the heart of the Hunter Valley amidst 28 acres of Traminer and Cabernet vines and within a 10-minute drive to award winning wineries and restaurants, Fernweh Cottage awaits you! Equipped with 4 king bedrooms, ducted air-conditioning, a gourmet kitchen, comfy leather lounges with a slow combustion wood-fire, 55” smart TV with Stan, coffee machine, fresh linen and a dining table for 8, you will find it easy to enjoy the a taste of the vineyard life in Pokolbin while living in the luxury of the Cottage. Fernweh is a German term that means “an ache for distant places; the craving for travel.” We hope that you can relieve your fernweh or perhaps even rediscover it in our home, so please do get in touch with any booking enquiries.

We are Loki and Paru, the proud owners of Fernweh Cottage. We are avid travellers and wanderlusters and have been lucky enough to travel and experience 35 countries so far! We are also keen foodies and enjoy a good glass of wine (or several). It is this love of travel, food and wine that we have incorporated into our Cottage in the Hunter Valley - from our various travel trinkets and photos to the vines of Cabernet and Traminer on the estate. We would love to share our experiences and hopefully even a little of our wanderlust spirit with you during your stay.

The Hunter Valley is one of Sydney's premiere wine regions and is famous for award-winning wineries and restaurants! Fernweh Cottage is: • Just a 2-hour getaway from Sydney via the M1 and the Hunter Expressway • A short 10-minute drive takes you to the Hunter Valley’s award winning wineries, restaurants, cafés, golf courses and the Hunter Valley Gardens. • Rent bicycles and explore the Hermitage Road Wine trails • The concert venues of Hope Estate, Bimbadgen Estate and Tempus Two are just a 5-minute drive away.
