About this house rental
Dolina has been awarded the 2020 Travellers Choice award, and the 2019 Certificate of Excellence by TripAdvisor for providing consistently outstanding experiences and whose owners offer first-class customer service to their guests.
Dolina meaning “Valley” is a newly renovated 6 bedroom 3.5 bathroom house and guest barn that has been elegantly custom designed to accommodate up to 14 guests in great style. Bursting with charm, Dolina is located opposite the Hunter’s picturesque Wandin Valley Estate wedding venue, cellar door and restaurant, providing you and your guests with just a short stroll to your first wine tasting, lunch or celebratory event. Located close to the best offerings on Lovedale Road, including Leaves and Fishes Restaurant, Binet Family Wines, Tatler Wines, Binnorie Dairy Cheese Factory Dolina gives you even more reasons to be your favourite place to stay.
Step inside and be transported into a fresh and calm designer space full of light, character and comfort, perfect for groups of family, friends, girls getaways, celebratory or wedding accommodation. The main house has 3 stylish bedrooms with lux beds and 2.5 bathrooms and features an enormous open-plan living area with high raked ceilings, dining table for fourteen, a river stone wall, wood combustion fire place, sumptuous leather sofas to sink into, WiFi and a large screen TV. French doors open up from the living area on to a generous full-length rear verandah, so you can relax outside, enjoy a bbq whilst taking in the peaceful views across Dolina’s five bushland acres and fully fenced dam. A new kitchen with coffee machine will be the perfect place to create plates of gourmet fare from local providores, and why not crack open a fine bottle Hunter wine from your cellar door visits.
Staying in the Dolina’s barn located adjacent to the main house is a real treat. What may appear to be a regular barn from the outside is a very stylish story on the inside. The Guest Barn features three beautifully appointed 'Hampton-esque' guest suites where up to six guests will enjoy the high ceilings, luxurious bedding as well as a glamorous full bathroom with deep claw foot tub and chandelier. And for those who enjoy a game or two, Dolina features a new games room adjacent to the pool area, featuring a pool table, ping pong table, TV and air-conditioning to entertain guests.
Both the main house and guest barn are fully air-conditioned throughout to be enjoyed in any season. Dolina is the perfect blend of location, charm and style for your next group or family stay in the Hunter Valley.
A new sparkling in-ground swimming pool is located behind the house, which also features a separate toilet facility near the pool area to allow your guests more time in the warmer months to relax and splash around.

This house was perfect. We were 14 long lost friends catching up. We loved how all the beds could be made into singles. We loved the quality of the house and furnishings. Communication with Hunter Valley Stays was clear, thorough and accomodating to our requests. The view of the pool in the morning was lovely. The games room was an amazing extra that we all enjoyed. Everyone had an enjoyable easy time. 100% recommend.
5.0 / 5.0
This house was superb! From the moment you open the doors you are wowed by the cleanliness and all the space it provided.
I have never stayed at a holiday home with a kitchen so well stocked with equipment to use.
The pool was beautiful, clean and such a tranquil setting to relax and enjoy the company of friends. Will definitely be coming back with my family or with another group of friends.
3.0 / 5.0
The property was very comfortable and set up well for a family holiday. It was incredibly hot and the air con held up beautifully. The pool and games room were fantastic and all the bedrooms were lovely. The only negatives were - the barn was actually a converted garage and although it was a nice conversion it was still a garage partitioned off with thick curtains so it was a little different to what we had expected. Whilst the inside of the property was nicely done, the outside was different to the pictures on the website and a little underwhelming. This had not been helped by the very dry conditions which left everything looking brown, dry and dusty. Interestingly this wasn't the case for other properties in the area . We had a great time and really appreciated the nice touches like the xmas decorations and generous supply of towels etc. We just wish we had a prettier view which you often get in the Hunter Valley.
3.0 / 5.0
The actual house was as expected but the addition accommodation was an unpleasant surprise. It is a shed with roller doors on the outside with a curtain covering the roller doors on the inside them on the inside. It was noisy and felt like being in a very temporary building and not as advertised on the website.
5.0 / 5.0
We booked this property for a reunion of friends. The property looked amazing on the listing and didn’t disappoint. The dining, living and kitchen area is amazing. Such a great space to connect and relax. The cleanliness and comfort of the property was exceptional. Would definitely recommend this property.
5.0 / 5.0
We booked Dolina for an extended family getaway. There was plenty of space for everyone. The guest barn was a great addition to give that extra space and allow people some time out from the main house. The games room provided endless entertainment. Dolina is in a fantastic location with beautiful views. We loved watching the sunrise from the balcony. It’s quiet and peaceful yet close to all the Hunter Valley has to offer. It would be great to come in the warmer months to make use of the pool.

I booked this property with a bunch of girlfriends to celebrate my 30th birthday and boy did it deliver! From the beginning, communication with the host was easy and there was always a quick reply to any questions I had. The house was beautiful and clean, with a kitchen full of all the appliances you could ever need. The beds were extremely comfortable with air conditioning in every room ensuring we all had a good nights sleep. And to top it off, the views were spectacular! Each day we watched kangaroos hop through the property as we sat by the pool or on the deck. Thank you so much for a fantastic stay!

Great property. Spacious living room. Overall great experience

Perfect Setting
This is a perfect property for large groups. The fact you can request all beds to be in single bed config is rare in properties accommodating 12+ people. The setting is beautiful and it's a short walk across the road to Wandin Estate where we had a yummy lunch. Everything was catered for and any queries we had were answered promptly. Would highly recommend. Thanks Dolina.

Love this house
“Great place for 5 couples to spend a weekend away. Highly recommend dining at the winery across the road while there. The pool was even made use of even though the weather was cold. My 2nd time staying here and would definitely come again...great for families too with a pool table and the new addition of the pool.

Attended a wedding.
The property was well presented and appointed. I did feel it was overpriced which I believe is underpinned by the fact it is in a popular area for weddings and guests have limited choices available to them.

Great location for our annual girls weekend away. We all enjoyed the open living area and the welcoming back verandah. Wonderful location.

Great weekend getaway for large groups
Dolina is a beautiful house for large groups wanting to enjoy the Hunter Valley. The main house has a large open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen area with comfy couches. It was lovely to sit around the log fire drinking wine with good friends.
There are 3 large bedrooms in the main house and 2 bedrooms in the garage area (which is decked out well). Most bedrooms have aircon/heating. Would highly recommend Dolina.
