The house itself is nice and is exactly as described by the host & other reviewers.

This is a difficult review to write as our group is still shaken and the case is under investigation. We were a group of females staying at this place for the long weekend. However, what we did not realise is how exposed it is due to its location in an open corner and the amount of windows that give it plenty of natural light - but also make it an easy target for outsiders to peek inside. Long story short, the day we had a wine tour booked the house got broken in. The intruder came through one of the windows, went through everyone’s bags; stole plenty of personal items, food, speakers and OUR CAR! Shocking, I know. Upon realisation we immediately called the owners who eventually came to their home, checked their phone recordings of the CCTV camera (there’s only 1 at the front) and realised someone had been wandering around the home not once, but twice after we got picked up by the tour company. They were calm and collected in regards to the incident but we were shook for obvious reasons. The police came in as well, a report was made and is in process (car was eventually found). We were told such incidents are happening more frequent in Cessnock as intruders are targeting Airbnb type of homes. The owner offered us to stay an extra night for free (instead of reimbursing any / all of the paid ones) - clearly remaining at this place was the last thing on our minds. Quite frankly, we were puzzled they did not panic at all, the lack of cameras around the home, and that we were left on our own to deal with the police. Also, one more thing. On the day of check in, we had been offered by the owners to arrive earlier without issues as the house would be ready. We got there early as discussed and the cleaner had just barely started so we left…! The reason provided was school holidays / long weekend so staff were under pressure. A courtesy email to let us know in advance would have been nice too.

very centrally located for our family to stay when attending a Hunter valley wedding

Cute, country cottage with a lovely vibe. Great location & view over Cessnock. Short stroll to town centre with great pubs and cafes. And, of course, gateway to the Hunter Valley.

The house was beautiful and so relaxing for myself and friends.

The shower over the bath leaked water onto the floor due to poor design.

Everything! a very lovely place to stay, highly recommend

There was nothing to dislike, the whole property was amazing.

Spa was great, lots of room, it was warm

En suite opened into master bedroom, no privacy screen

Stylish but comfortable, loved the spa and dog friendly outdoor living

A second tv in the master bedroom would’ve been a nice addition
