Hunter Valley Stays is proud to present Wilderness Grove Estate. This spectacular self-contained accommodation is centrally located on Wilderness Road in Lovedale and is located just 2.5 hours north of Sydney and a 35 minute drive to Newcastle. Guests staying at Wilderness Grove will experience a stay within a picturesque two story main residence and its guest cottage, located 200 metres from each other, together accommodating up to 14 guests within 7 luxurious bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, 2 living and dining rooms, 2 kitchens along with extensive entertaining areas, a fun filled games room including pool table, plus a sparkling pool and a firepit.
Exquisitely set in the middle of a 25 acre mature olive grove, Wilderness Grove is perfectly located to enjoy the Hunter’s finest cellar doors, restaurants, cafés, wedding venues, activities and golf course. If you can tear yourself away from this beautiful property, your choices are endless starting with Jimmy Jones across the road, closely followed by Saltire Estate, Adina, Mockingbird Café, Gartleman wines, Allandale and Capercaillie Wines, Lillinos Italian, Stomp Wines, Leaves & Fishes and The Deck Café. Guests will enjoy only a short drive to Hunter Valley Gardens and moments from concert venues such as Bimbadgen, Hope and Roche Estates, as well as wedding venues such as Wandin Valley, Petersons, Moravia Park, Dark Horse, and the Lovedale Chapel.
We must admit, you will find it hard to leave Wilderness Grove as this property everything you need for a joyous stay with family and friends. Everything has been catered for to make you feel right at home. The Hamptons inspired main residence is flanked on most sides by open vine-covered decks and second-storey balconies. Plantings of iceberg roses and clipped hedges lead you to the front door and inside mirror finish floorboards, high ceilings and light-filled living spaces. A grand open lounge complete with wood-burning fireplace is the heart of the home and it opens on one side to an outdoor living area and on the other to a combined dining and brand-new shaker-style kitchen. A guest powder room, laundry and huge en-suited bedroom complete the ground floor.
Upstairs are another three huge bedrooms all with ensuites and French doors opening to private balconies with views overlooking the gardens and surrounding olive grove and mountains beyond. Please note the combustion fireplaces in the bedrooms are not operational, however the entire main house is heated and cooled by multiple multiple reverse-cycle air-conditioners, with an air conditioner in each bedroom and one provided in the main living area. Outside, an inviting swimming pool is wrapped in travertine paving and beautifully landscaped with a water feature. Near the main house is also a separate games room with a pool table, fridge for guest refreshments, and a large TV with Kayo sport and streaming apps available for guest login, as well as a firepit just steps away so you can swap stories and relax under the stars. Sonos Sound Systems are installed in the Main House and the games room.
The 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom guest cottage is a short drive from the main house, set along a private road among an established kitchen-style fruit orchard and offers private peaceful views over the surrounding countryside. Ceiling fans are provided for guest comfort in each bedroom in the cottage, with a reverse cycle air conditioner provided in the cottage's living area.

Beauriful home and location.

Amazing property in a perfect lication.Everything is as described and even surpassed expectations.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2024
Great space for large group. Beautiful space for a long lunch around the dining table.
6 / 10Average·Jan 2025
The place was well situated and a nice house. Unfortunately, the water water not working in the cottage and toilets were not flushing, the doors were left open in the upstairs room causing the carpet to be wet and then had a mouldy unpleasant smell, with bird poo on the sheets, the chairs and deck area in the cottage was extremely dirty, broken tile in the kitchen as a danger for cutting yourself, the beds were not configured as asked for, even though they asked for the configurations a month prior. The company was very helpful and were able to assist with most issues, the house is in a good spot and was good for a group of friends and family. However, for the over 5k we spent for two nights, this was not satisfactory and should be presented in a good condition, without having to make contact with he company several times for them to come back and fix issues.
