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.

My husband and I brought our small dog and a friend to stay for 2 nights. Our friend was celebrating her 60th birthday. The cottage was very comfortable. Rob cooked 2 dinners and we had a relaxing time. 20 minutes or so from the particular wineries we wished to revisit. We had lunch at Bistro Molines where we had our wedding and reception 12 years ago. Just a fun time was had by all.

I had a lovely weekend with my dogs. The house was well maintained, comfortable, very clean and had everything I expected. The dogs loved the spacious back yard and had a great time exploring.

Property was as described. No issues with anything to do with the property. However, a few days after our booking ended Maria made very strange accusations that didn’t even make sense. Something about it being obvious that we used the vaccum cleaner to to clean bubbles from the bathtub. Nonsense and baseless accusations in an attempt to claim our deposit. She said she’d give us a break and not charge for a new vaccum and only take the deposit to which I absolutely would not accept. Upon reading all reviews it seems this is something that “Maria” has attempted on numerous occasions. Although we enjoyed our stay we would never rent this property again due to the unscrupulous owners bizarre accusations. Btw we left the home in immaculate clean condition when we left, as if it was own own home. My recommendation would be to look elsewhere for a rental in the area.

This was the perfect option for my dog Kodi and I.We both enjoyed our stay.

We stayed for 2 nights and it was a great location, close to the Club for dinner and the bus stop to see a winery show. Great little cottage for 4 people. Would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed 3 weeks in this renovated miner's cottage. Despite the heat, the air conditioning was very effective. Maria was helpful and easy to communicate with. Thanks for allowing us to stay.
