Just loved our accommodation, loved sitting on the veranda listening to the birds and even saw some kangaroos. Winery across the road we could walk to but otherwise most are a drive / taxi ride away.

Spotlessly clean well equipped cottage. Easy access to many vineyards. The only complaint is the lounges were very low and not comfortable for people like us in their latter years.

Amazing cottage in Pokolbin
“We had an amazing stay at Ron’s cottage! The place was absolutely spotless, with fantastic amenities that made our visit so comfortable. Its location couldn’t have been better—everything we needed was just a short drive away. The thoughtful touch of a bottle of wine waiting in the fridge made us feel instantly at home. We’d happily stay here again!”

A stylish cottage in a great location
If you're looking for the perfect getaway in the Hunter Valley, this quaint cottage ticks all the boxes. Nestled in an ideal location, surrounded by native bushland, it provides easy access to the Hunters best wineries. The cottage itself is impeccably clean and thoughtfully appointed. From the cozy living area to the well-equipped kitchen, you'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay. The two bedrooms are large ( both with mirrors ) with quality bedding, towels, great heating and numerous pillows to choose from. Little touches, like eggs, butter, milk a fresh loaf of bread, welcome bottle of local wine and a well-stocked pantry, show that the hosts have truly considered their guests' needs. You might want to bring your own CD’s and a few DVD’s if you want to stay in. The selection was a bit limited but no big deal. Despite its central location, the cottage feels secluded, offering a private and tranquil atmosphere. I recommend taking a walk around the property at sunset, amongst the gum trees and embrace the beautiful serenity it offers. Do yourself a favour and pop into the gallery that is situated next to the cottage. There are some impressive, quality pieces or art from local artists. Ron, the host was quick to reply and very friendly…I highly recommended this property and will definitely be back.

Great stay in a great central location
Perfectly central location for us to explore the lower hunter. Some great dinner options nearby so didnt have to drive far and night. Very comfortable accommodation with a/c in bedrooms. Even saw kangaroos up close on the property in the morning which my son loved. Ron was welcoming and responsive in all our dealings.

Perfect hideaway
The location feels quiet but is very central, with great parking, and a beautiful gallery next door. You can see that Ron and Lyn have very carefully considered how to meet their guests’ needs. The two bedrooms and the lounge and kitchen are spacious and comfortable, and there are lots of tiny thoughtful touches that make a huge difference. Everything from luxury bedding, towels, and cozy blankets, to separate heating and aircon in each room, decent tea and coffee, and a clean, well appointed kitchen. Quality is clearly important, and it shows. They are helpful but unintrusive, and delightful hosts. Highly recommend this place.

The cozy two bedroom cottage really made our stay in the Hunter Valley exceptional. The hosts are very generous and are helpful with any recommendations if needed. The cottage is spacious with all the amenities of home, including super comfortable beds. It is private as you are the only accommodation plus it is really lovely. It was also great value for a two bedroom. I highly recommend this cottage and I will be booking this next time I return to the Hunter Valley.
