Inala Wilderness Retreat
The hosts were very responsive and proactive in setting the place up just how we needed to support our young family. Their descriptions and instructions were spot on and checking in was very straight forward.

Hunter Hideaway Farm Cozy Cabin for 2 with hot tub
We had a lovely four-night stay at the cabin. It was a cosy, well-equipped space with a beautiful view—sunrises and sunsets were stunning. The hot tub was a highlight, and the thoughtful touches like champagne, chocolates, and a well-stocked kitchenette made it feel special. The cabin had plenty of ways to stay warm, and while the bathroom was compact, it had everything we needed, including handy essentials. One thing to note is that the cabin is quite close to Vicky and Roger’s home, which isn’t clear from the photos, so privacy was a little limited—we didn’t always feel comfortable using the hot tub. There were also a few dead bugs on the ceiling, but overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend it

"The View" Waterfront Apartment Shoal Bay
This accomodation was outstanding. Great location and the unit was equipped with everything you needed including some thoughtful items like a coffee machine, condiments in the fridge to a variety of tea and coffee selections. Communication was on point with step by step instructions on how to access the unit and Mark was very reactive to emails. The outlook was amazing, listening to the sound of the waves and the sunsets ❤️. I will be back..

1OAK @ The Vintage - Outdoor Spa & Lovely Views
It was a beautiful spacious place for a group of good friends to tour the Hunter region. It was central to most places making it easy to drive everywhere. Dan and Ariane were friendly and accommodating with our needs. A great place to relax!

Lazy Acres Wollombi
Antonina was a lovely host, who responded straight away to any questions we had. The home was just as described very beautiful with lovely surroundings. We felt so relaxed in this beautiful private surroundings. Would definitely recommend and we will hopefully be coming back in Easter.

Eco Spa
A beautiful weekend away, lovely friends catch up, recharging & enjoying peace & quiet. Walked loop around property, collected eggs for brunch, read books by fire & tried out hammock. Lauren was very friendly & helpful, with a great intro on arrival. Such well designed lodges, will be back again for sure

Beautiful sunny garden retreat in Kotara
Armando is a Super host. He looked after us very well. Even though we cut short our trip, we hope to enjoy Armando's home, in our next visit to Newcastle.

Hunter Valley, NSW - Cadair Cottage 1
My partner and I stayed in Cadair Cottage 1 and we really really enjoyed our short time here. We were only here for a couple of nights but would have loved to extend our trip. There is so much to like about this place. Firstly, the surroundings are just absolutely beautiful - you are in nature and if you’re coming from a city landscape you’ll switch off so quickly. The cottage itself was spotless and had such a homely feel. All of the amenities you’d need with a fireplace, stove top, wifi, tv with foxtel and streaming - beautiful bedrooms and comfortable linen. The hot tub is also so nice to relax in and watch the sun come down. The yard (which is fully fenced) offers an expansive play area for your furry friends and our girl Peppa absolutely loved her time here too. She had so much fun. You are visited by neighbouring sheep and cows and it’s truly magical to watch them graze and trail by. Thank you, Simone - we can’t wait to return to this beautiful property again.

Luxury Cedar Tree Farm! Games Room! Pet friendly!
Beautiful property. Loved the nest! Lots of lovely walks and different places to unwind on the property itself. Waking up to all the birdsong was glorious. We had a really lovely relaxing stay - thank you very much Christine.

A Tranquil Country Retreat Cooranbong
Joe's place was exactly as described - tranquile farm stay with all kinds of wildlife visits! It even had everything for breakfast - bread, eggs, cereals, coffee and fruits! even an avocado!!! we also needed some extra milk and he was able to help with that! thank you Joe - we'll come again!

Selby Lakeside Cottage
Thanks to Donna for a great short stay. Donna was great at communicating and was very responsive. Our stay was easy and was great for us as a family with a pet.

"Robyn's Nest Hideaway" - a quiet getaway
Roger and Robyn came to welcome us and were nice enough to provide some basic ingredients for our first breakfast! We felt at home right away and the location was perfect. There were a few spiders and a cockroach during our stay, but it is to be expected in Australia! We loved the place overall ☺️

Caves Beach House
The house was brilliant! Superb location, perfect for any combination of people. Sue's communication was fantastic, friendly and helpful. Thankyou Sue.

Summerfield, Lovedale, Hunter Valley
The house was very clean and fresh, super cozy and homely. Corinne went above and beyond to accommodate us, even down to leaving us groceries that suited our family to make breakfast and snacks. She also gave us a run down of the area and things to do and see. We will definitely aim to stay here next time we’re visiting.

Torodes - beautiful beachhouse with ocean views
This is the second time we’ve visited Paul’s place and hopefully they’ll be another. It’s a quintessential Australian coast house, full of character and warmth. The beach is across the road and you fall asleep with the sound of the ocean. Heaven! Great back yard, everything you need and Paul is a 10 out of 10 host!

Windmill Lodge, perfect for big family groups!
Our extended family had a wonderful long weekend at Windmill Lodge. There is lots of space and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for large groups. We also made use of the wood fire for pizza and the extra large paella pan. Lots of lounges and seating and a big long dining table perfect for large groups. Tanya was very helpful is setting up extra beds as we required and we felt very at home.

Beachousesix - Stunning Ocean Views from a Stylish Home
Beachousesix was very well appointed with amazing ocean views. It was clean, quiet & within around a 10 minute walk to restaurants & shops. There was plenty of street parking also. I would love to stay here again if in Terrigal. Thanks Tim

Josies Studio
Terry’s place was perfect for our Hunter getaway, and Graham went above and beyond as host. Great location for getting around wineries and restaurants, and 3-minute walk to the brewery and pub down the road made for an absolute no-brainer at night. Accomodation is everything you’d need: perfect for a single, or a couple, or adults +kid/s, etc, plenty of space in the large main room with separate kitchen and separate private bathroom/laundry. Cannot recommend this place and Graham highly enough, what a legend! Cheers mate, we’ll see you again.

Blue Wren Villa at Woodlane Cottages Lovedale
We spent the weekend in the hunter and this place was the perfect fit for us! Very peaceful, warm in the winter nights , easy check in and a very helpful host throughout. Would recommend it! We also saw kangaroos which was a big plus for me!

Isla Villa Beach House - Shoal Bay
We loved our stay at Lauren’s place! Beautiful, modern interior, walking distance to Shoal Bay for restaurants, pub, bike hire or to watch the dolphins at sunset. Or for the more intrepid, lots of hiking options right out the back door. The house was so well-equipped we also spent some days enjoying the pool, pizza oven and outdoor entertaining area. Highly recommended!

Poplars Apt - Stunning Views, Aircon, Wifi, Pool
Loved the view from the loungeroom & balcony. Everything was neat & tidy. Lots of books, DVDs, etc. Great smart TV. Beds were comfy. Nice & roomy apartment. Well equipped kitchen. Had a lovely time.

Goosewing Homestead Hunter Valley
Peaceful location, had a great girls weekend away 💜 next time I’ll just remember to bring more bug spray, there were more mozzies than I expected to be at the location, and I did not come prepared enough as the person who is generally the one bitten in the group, this is an error on my part

Views on Koonora
We had a wonderful stay at Victoria’s place. The place itself was stunning and it was filled with beautiful and thoughtful touches such a bottle of wine and breakfast food ready - even fresh eggs! Victoria met us and walked us through the place and even let us check out late. We’d definitely recommend this place.

Cosy Cottage - Views,Vineyards,Cafes
Edwina and her husband were lovely hosts, and Elfin Hill is a great complexthat is well appointed and maintained. We enjoyed our visit.
