About this house rental
Stunning views over Hunter Valley, large windows all around and cathedral ceilings...
Nestled into the beautiful Hunter Valley bush countryside on 25 acres with views to the Brokenback Mountains, open countryside and neighboring vineyards. VERY PRIVATE...NOBODY WILL KNOW YOU ARE THERE...
Surrounded by indigenous wildlife and grazing cattle.
This is a fabulous 5 bedroom luxurious, architect designed house with cathedral ceilings, reverse cycle air conditioning and fans plus a wood fired combustion stove and firepit outdoors during winter months. 4 bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms (2 with spa baths) and there are enormous verandahs all round.
Sleeps up to 14 persons with Sofa Bed or Shared Room.
Whether you want to enjoy your own space or be part of a group of people sharing, there is plenty of room to relax.
A peaceful and tranquil setting away from the hustle and bustle of city life and yet it is only minutes away from the famous Hunter Valley vineyards and attractions. The loudest noises you will hear are the Kangaroos hopping and the Kookaburras calling!!

Great family getaway. Perfect place for a getaway with plenty of space and privacy for everyone. Amazing views and very peaceful… nicely located in a private setting.
Will most likely be returning for another family getaway.
Thanks Kookaburra 😊

The perfect (much needed) getaway for our group of 12. Everyone had so much space, the main living area was huge and perfectly accommodated our larger group.
The views from the back deck are picture perfect, we have visited the hunter valley a few times but this stay takes the cake.

6 / 10Average·Dec 2019
The property is huge! The living area of this house is awesome and again huge, the kitchen was fabulous and well stocked in terms of crockery, glasses, pots pans etc, cannot fault it. The wrap around verandah was awesome for the children to ride scooters, and the bbq and bar fridge, futsal table were great additions to this property. Also the pool was fantastic, especially given that it was 45 degrees upon our arrival. The thing that let this property down was the misleading bedroom arrangements. Stayz website clearly stated there was 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. There was a description of the bedrooms and it stated that bedroom 5 had 4 queen size beds, the other 4 bedrooms had one queen size bed. This was definitely not the case, not even close. Yes, there were 5 bedrooms, but one of the bedrooms was directly off the master suite......not even a door to separate the 2 rooms. None of the rooms had 4 queen size beds in it, and this let us down very much. Our plan was the 6 children (cousins aged 3-9) were to sleep in the bedroom that held the 4 q/s beds. thereby leaving the remaining 4 bedrooms for the adults ( 4 couples) Upon arrival, it quickly became evident that the children would all be sleeping on futon with their parents. The children were disappointed to learn that they wouldn't be having the "sleepover"with their cousins, and the parents weren't to pleased about it either. We still enjoyed our stay as the purpose was for us all to be together for our eldest sons 40th birthday celebrations, however I do feel totally mislead regarding the the bedroom arrangements, and had I have known what was actually going to be presented would not have stayed at this property. Also the bathroom we had did not have a shower, just a spa bath, so we had to share someone elses shower, considering the money that we paid for 2 night stay and i am left feeling rather miffed.
