All the little things were taken care of. Things like bedside lamps with USB ports and wireless charge. Loved the combustion fire! The property managers are really friendly and obliging. We found it very easy to wind down and just read books :)

Karen Australia

Facilities were great TV/Foxtel option was great View from balcony surpassed my expectation Breakfast pack was generous

Geoff Australia

Very cosy and peaceful. It had everything we needed, well kept and clean. The view is amazing and we had kangaroos visit a few times which was nice. The fireplace in winter was fantastic. Breakfast consisted of english muffins, bacon and eggs that we could make ourselves. Location is very central in Pokolbin, easy access to several wineries.

Véronique Australia

Great location. Very comfortable. Lovely log fire. Gorgeous views. The list goes on

Well provided accommodation, in a great location with relaxing views and great privacy. Would be lovely in winter with the fire going to keep warm. Highly recommended.

Very clean and tidy, well appointed. Communication with hosts was 10/10 for the couple of questions that we had. Ideal location for concerts etc with the shuttle buses picking up at the door!

  • Hi. I’m looking to book for 5 adults. Do you have any 3 bed villas? And what is the bed arrangement. If not do you provide bedding for the sleeper couch? The photos show a spa on the deck but it’s not mentioned in the description. Just want to check if the villas have a spa. Thanks
    We have 1 x Three Bedroom House with 1 x King bed, 1 x Queen bed + 1 x King OR 2 x Single beds. The swim spa shown is located at this house.
    Answered on June 30, 2020

    Unfortunately, we cannot split our large beds into singles.

  • Do all the bedrooms have airconditioning or is it just in the lounge area?
    Hi there - it is just in the lounge area. However, with the bedroom doors open, the rooms would cool down / warm up.

Host Review Score
In Real Estate circles they say, 'Location Location Location'. This is true for us. Our location affords us: —a lovely quiet location —within a 5-minute drive of any number of restaurants, wineries, shops and attractions —sweeping views of the Hunter Valley, including the Mount Royal National Park (80 kilometres away). From each villa's deck, guests can also enjoy gorgeous sunsets, over the Brokenback Mountain Range, along with visits from kangaroos and other wildlife in the early morning and evenings. We hope you can come and experience for yourself, very soon!
Our villas have been equipped with keyless entry and we do not operate a reception desk. This means that guests can choose to keep a very low profile, without the need for any face-to-face contact. However, please don't hesitate to say G'day or have a chat. We are only too happy to assist with any issues or questions you may have—about Wine Country Villas or the Hunter Valley in general. See you soon!
The Hunter Valley is a great place to visit, not only for those who enjoy wine or fine dining but also for weddings/ vow renewals, family holidays and romantic getaways. FUN THINGS TO DO Families can enjoy the Hunter Valley Zoo, a Segway Tour, horse riding, the Handmade Hunter Markets, Steam Fest (annual Train show), hot air ballooning, Tiger Moth Adventure flights, the Hunter Valley Gardens with its aqua golf and putt putt course. There are a couple of bicycle hire options, if you'd love to get some fresh air and exercise with the family or your friends. MEALS If 'the cook' is on holidays, families with children are catered for also with many restaurants nearby. DESSERT BAR Speaking of food, the Hunter Valley has its own dessert bar—Sabor in the Hunter Dessert Bar—where those with a sweet tooth can content themselves with sugary delights. There are a couple of savoury options too.
