Wonderful, authentic and charming. This is a truly lovely cottage with everything you could need.
We had a lovely stay. The outside area and Chiminea was a delight. The cottage was as wonderful. Highly recommended.

Good morning and thank you for your fabulous review of your stay at The Cooks House at Corunna Station. It was our pleasure to host you and your guests here for some time in the Hunter. Thanks for your recommendations and we hope to see you again soon as a valued return guest. With thanks from the Team at Hunter Valley Stays.
Loved the property! Only issue was locating it. The number was not distinctive on the letterbox, the property wasn’t named by any signage and when rang for assistance was given some misinformation…… there were meant to be two white tractor tyres outside front gate, which weren’t there. Otherwise, it was a gorgeous setting and cottage. Loved it.❤️

Hi Kathryn. Thanks so much for leaving such a glowing review of your stay at The Cooks House at Corunna Station. It was our absolute pleasure to host you here for the weekend and do hope that you'll be back to visit again sometime. With thanks from the Team at Hunter Valley Stays.
As we drove up to the property on the dirt road we had that glum feeling of omg what have we done! The Cooks House is no beauty on the outside nor is its surroundings but once you open the front door it’s absolutely wonderful. All photos represent the property beautifully, it’s very well appointed, maintained and extremely comfortable. Plenty of air conditioning/ heating which was a relief as it was almost 40 degrees when we arrived, but the most wonderful thing is the feeling of pure comfort and warmth you feel throughout the entire home.

That is so wonderful to hear Rebecca, thank you for your review and for staying. We can't wait to welcome you back for another relaxing weekend in the future. The Team at Hunter Valley Stays
We could not fault the Cooks House at Corunna Station. My wife and I took another couple (4 x adults) to the Hunter Valley for a Concert and the Cooks House was perfect. Exceptionally clean, well presented and appointed. It was an absolute Gem and made our stay all that more enjoyable. A perfect place for the weekend and the complimentary Piggs Peake wine and port were a pleasant (and enjoyed) surprise. Our only regret being we couldn't stay longer. We will be back.
