The property is in a beautiful woodland, it’s a rustic but very well equipped barn with an amazing open plan living space, log burner and cosy sofas - and great views of the surround woods. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped, the beds are super comfortable, and the over all vibe is wonderful. Our host was easily reachable and even dropped us off a load of fire wood so we could have a fire in the garden. We had kids in our group and they had an absolute blast playing in the garden and meeting Honey. We will be back to stay for sure, thank you so much! The only note I have is for those with a saloon or hatchback vehicle- the driveway might be a challenge!

Awesome secluded bush retreat. Peaceful in lush surroundings. Playing cards on the balcony was such a lovely experience with the birds singing nicely. Excellent amenities provided in kitchen (the flowers and chocolate was a lovely added touch). Jan and Garry are lovely hosts. The kangaroos were awesome to see so close as well.

A perfect bush getaway, yet close enough to great places which you can explore such as the Hunter wineries. This was the best find for us and we will definitely be coming back. The whole vibe of the house and its location was perfect. The owners were very quick to respond to any queries and extremely nice people. We were six adults and we all loved it!
Our afternoon coffee view!
Our dusk outdoor fire which lasted for a few hours. All the wood was provided and the pit was set up Ashe’s rest for us to flick a match to!
