About this cottage rental

Originally an old miner's cottage, Schatzi's on Shalimah is a fully renovated two bedroom cottage. It is set up as a quiet couple's weekender however the second bedroom can be made available at a small extra cost for a small group seeking a Hunter getaway.
**Please note that booking for 2 people implies that only 1 bedroom will be required, you need to book for 3 people and therefore pay a small additional nightly charge for access to the 2nd bedroom.

The large yard is fully enclosed with lovely lawns and shading trees for both pets and owners to while away their time when not busy sampling the wares of the many nearby wineries. A newly installed deck offers additional living space and a lovely spot to relax with a beverage of choice. The backyard has fencing ranging from 150-180cm high. We have made it as dog-proof as possible but if your dog is a determined digger or jumper this may not necessarily hold them.

Inside
The cottage has all the mod cons including luxuriously appointed bathroom with heating and spa bath and includes a European laundry. The kitchen is well fitted out and includes fridge, microwave, electric oven, gas cooktop and even an espresso machine! Coffee plunger, other electrical items and a variety of quality pots, pans and utensils sets you up for a stay of any length.

In the evening the lounge is a cosy space with reverse cycle air con, large LCD TV, DVD player and CD player. Open the blinds and the 4m sliding doors open up a whole new space and vista with a large deck barbeque and dining setting complete with swing seats for a quirky taste of the Caribbean.

Both rentable bedrooms (there's a 3rd bedroom which is not accessible to guests) have queen beds, wardrobes/storage space and reverse-cycle air con as well as pedestal fans for simple air-flow.

Pets
Well behaved pets are most welcome both in the large yard and also in the house. There is no limit on size or number however all pet parents are expected to pick up all faeces from the yard and to ensure that pets don't toilet in the house. Pets must be supervised at all times (even if you bring Dogga's own bed, being left in a strange house is very stressful) or they can be left in the yard or within the Doggy Space. This space is the bathroom us the Small hall space outside of the bathroom. When at home with your pets, please ensure that the throws provided are used to protect the furniture. All dogs will want to 'plump up the couch's by scratching at it and it's your job to ensure that they don't. Having Dogga Parents who are thoughtful and respectful enables us to continue to have pets in the cottage with their family

Location
A lovely park is just a minute's walk away with Vincent Street (the hub of the town) within 5 minutes walk. Here you can enjoy breakfast or just a coffee at one of the many dog friendly cafes. A range of pubs and restaurants, also in walking distance, have a fabulous array of food with some venues also offering music on weekends. East Cessnock Bowling Club is literally at the end of the street but with surprisingly little impact on guests at Schatzi's. Walks around the area are peaceful and pretty, even though in town we have fields very close by where Kangaroos can often be seen, especially in the warmer months.

The neighbourhood
Our neighbours have been there long before we bought our lovely cottage and they are lovely, friendly and helpful but will be respectful of your space and privacy.

Overall lovely experience! Great back yard for our little dog (we barely saw him) far enough away from everything so it’s quiet but still close to all the necessities.

This is the second time in 2 years that we have stayed here, it is so central to the vineyards whilst also being off the main roads of Cessnock, the hosts accommodate people travelling with their dog, the house is well set up, there is a lovely outdoor area, safe yard for dog with a safe indoor area for a dog to stay in also, we enjoy it here and will return again next year!

My partner and I along with my Netherland dwarf rabbit Thumper stayed for the weekend. Location was great near all amenities and not far from wineries. Pick up and drop off from this location for wine tours. Instructions easy to follow, place was well accommodating for pets. Quiet street and everything in walking distance you need. Partner and I want to stay there again... probably to try out the jet spa 😉...overall we enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed staying in this cottage, the place is basic but has all you need, including AC in rooms and living area. Both the owner and the manager were excellent in communication and so easy to get in touch with. This is a true pet friendly place with a huge secure yard, the minimal rules that apply to staying there with dogs are very sensible and not a lot different from what I would do at home. If you are considering visiting this beautiful area with your dogs I would definitely recommend this place.

Was a lovely, renovated miner’s cottage with many modern conveniences, including air con in the bedrooms & lounge room. The street was quiet, with lots of visiting birdlife & both of our cats were welcome & enjoyed their stay. Short drive to nearby wineries & restaurants in both Lovedale & Pokolbin. Could walk to Cessnock town centre or the nearby Bowling Club if you wished. Had a slight glitch checking in due to not receiving instructions from Stayz as advised, however Co-Host Sally-Anne ended up coming to the rescue eventually & gave us a late checkout for the inconvenience, which we appreciated. Only complaint was that there was rubbish from the previous tenant left on top of where the garbage bin was in the kitchen cupboard & this had not been picked up or removed by the cleaners & the front lawn inside the property could’ve done with a mow. We all had an enjoyable, peaceful stay & would happily stay here again.
