How We Price: The booking price is based on a minimum number of guests. Any guests above this number are chargeable on a per person/per night rate. The system will automatically calculate the correct rate when you enter the required number of guests. Reductions in guest numbers are non-refundable.
Arrival Details: Access to the property is made simple. You’ll receive an access code via SMS just before 3pm on your arrival day, which you’ll use for the duration of your stay. Standard check-in is at 3pm. While an earlier arrival may be possible, it cannot be confirmed until the afternoon prior to your arrival. If an earlier check-in is available, we will send you an SMS by 4pm the day before to confirm.
Linen: 1 set of full bed linens and 1 bath towel per person are supplied. Guests may wish to bring extra towels depending on the length of their stay. Pool/Lake/Beach towels are BYO.
Wi-Fi is provided complimentary on behalf of the owner. It is intended to be used in an appropriate manner by all guests. As the service is provided by an external 3rd party, Weekenda cannot and do not guarantee the speed or efficacy of this property's Wi-Fi connection nor do we pay any compensation for interruption of service for any reason.
Fires and Firewood: Internal wood fireplaces and outdoor fire pits only operate after the NSW Easter School Holidays up to before the NSW September School Holidays in line with NSW state fire restrictions. Please note we will normally supply enough firewood, kindling & fire-starters for between 1-2 nights of your stay. For guests wishing to have additional fires, we suggest BYO Firewood, Kindling, and Starters which can be easily purchased from the local service stations.
Respectful Stays (The Not-So-Fine Print): We want you to fully enjoy your time away, and we also ask that guests help us look after the home and the surrounding community.
To keep things comfortable for everyone: This is a no-party property, the Quiet hours are between 9pm and 8am. The number of guests at property must not exceed the booking without written permission.
These guidelines help ensure Weekenda homes stay available for future escapes (yours included) and that local neighbours remain welcoming to visitors.
Cameras and Noise Monitoring: There are no external security cameras at this location presently, but the owner reserves the right at any time to install external cameras at their discretion. Any camera install will be in line with local regulations. A noise monitoring device is installed - fines apply to guests found to have disconnected, removed or damaged the noise device. These devices are used to monitor and maintain ours and guest's responsibilities under the NSW STR Code of Conduct.
Guest Registration / ID Check : Weekenda requires every guest to complete and sign an electronic guest registration prior to arrival which will ask for photo ID i.e. a copy of your Drivers Licence or Passport. The primary booker will also be required to complete a list with the guests' names and actual mobile numbers. In the event we are unable to reach the primary booker, it is very important we can get a hold of other guests. These documents will be deleted after your departure. Access Codes are only released to Registered and Verified Guests.
Critical Update: Due to an unprecedented influx of fraudulent bookings, we are forced to impose a policy that protects our clients, industry and community against those attempting to commit fraud and theft. Any booking made within 5 days of arrival is required to provide a photo of a valid credit card in the same full name of the primary guest to match the supplied identification document. Failure of these documents matching will result in the booking being cancelled and all funds processed returned to the original card assumed as stolen and thus a fraudulent transaction. We trust we have our honest and genuine customers understanding this policy is in place to protect all parties.
Insurance: As always, but ever so more due to recent times, we strongly encourage any holidaymakers to obtain a very inexpensive 3rd Party Domestic Travel Insurance Policy to cover you for all manners of matters which may restrict travel. This is particularly helpful for things like Hunter Valley Concert cancellations, Covid or Medical and Other Emergencies for which we don't provide refunds, and anything which falls under our standard Terms & Conditions irrespective of the reason. We suggest reviewing policies with 'Cover-More' or 'Travel Insurance Direct' or 'Insureandgo'
This property is managed by Weekenda, a licensed real estate. Weekenda staff are available 7 days a week to assist from your initial enquiry through to your departure and everything in between.
We look forward to having you stay with us

Weekend Stay
Our stay was comfortable. The location was tranquil, set on a winery, with beautiful views of the ranges. Lounge with fireplace cozy and kitchen great. Beds were comfortable. As others have mentioned yes due to the location phone coverage/wifi is bad. The downside and why a 3 star is the bathrooms were not clean. Also the firewood was enough for just 1 night so had to buy more for our second night. And yes need to bring your own matches to light the fire.
A suggestion to the owners would be to allow enough firewood to service the number of nights per booking.

Weekenda (Syays) were shocking. They should be ashamed of themseleves
Property was not ready at 3 pm despite the fact we were told that it was ready at 12 pm. There were no beds made and laundry from the last visitor was on the ground. The kitchen had not been tidied. It was unfit to live in so they had to get us alternative accommodation. My recommendation is to go elsewhere as management of this property is disgraceful.

Dear Daksh,
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience you experienced upon arrival at Somerville Wines Farmstay. We promptly upgraded you to a more centrally located villa of superior quality, which is priced higher. Your original tariff was compensated for the inconvenience. It's unfortunate that you felt compelled to leave a negative review for this property, considering you did not get to experience it fully. Our team promptly relocated your group and offered alternative options for your stay. Weekenda Reservations Team

The home was nice although the rooms slightly smaller than expected. It was quite rustic without some conveniences. Wifi is listed as an amenity however the connection is extremely unstable and unpredictable which meant we were not able to be contacted the entire time we were at the property. If we had known this in advance we would have been able to remedy the situation. The property management group only communicated this and other terms and conditions on the day of the stay. We found this to be too late and it would have been nice to know this information prior to booking and paying. The location of the property was perfect for the wedding we attended and the outlook from the property was lovely.

Hi Kara,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful location and the outlook from the property, and that it suited your visit for the wedding.
We are sorry to hear that the WiFi connection didn’t meet your expectations. While we do list WiFi as an amenity, we also include in our advertising that it is provided complimentary on behalf of the owner, and as it’s serviced by a third-party provider, we unfortunately cannot guarantee its speed or reliability.
Thanks again for staying with us, and we wish you all the best.
Warm regards,
Team at Weekenda

Beautiful location but wouldn't stay again
We were drawn to staying here as it had a fireplace and wanted to be cosy for a weekend away. The location is quite far (30 min) from the main activities of the Hunter, but it is set on a vineyard and has beautiful scenery.
However we were disappointed with a few things:
1. The showers - the water pressure and temperature inconsistent
2. Internet reception - we had no mobile service and the WiFi offered was very limited
3. TV - although they offer Foxtel, the channels and limited so bring DVDs!
4. The kitchen did not have many basic necessities (e.g. salt, oil, variety of teas)
5. The beds were comfortable but recommend bringing your own pillows and extra blankets.
We did love the fireplace (firewood provided but no matches!) and fresh air in the Valley but for the price (split with 4 people) would look to stay elsewhere next time.
This property is in a great, private location with fabulous views. We had a lovely stay and a couple of little improvements would have made it a five out of five. The hot water system is pretty old and the kitchen isn't very well fitted out for cooking.

June long weekend
The cottage is lively but no mention is made in the listing that it is RIGHT NEXT DOIR to a restaurant. Music played until 2am on our first night and was playing again at 8.30 the next morning. Children drove an ATV around the property all day long, starting at 8am. On the 2nd day, a 40th birthday party took place all day. . It was beautiful and everyone was lovely but it was more like being at a party than a relaxing weekend away.

Hi Kate,
Thank you for your feedback.
We would love to have you stay another time with us, we manage over 150 properties!
Somerville just keeps giving. We can fault any area of this lovely home and have fallen in love with the place. A very easy and comfortable getaway whether for work or pleasure.
We can't get enough of this place. It's simply an easy choice for a stopover with the hosts and owners treating us just like any other holidays guests. The home is always well presented, clean and super cozy by the fire on a cold night. You did it again Somerville - we are impressed.
Easily ticks all the boxes for a comfortable stay. Enjoyed the fireplace greatly with a great bottle of Cab Sav we picked up from Glandore on the way through. Always a pleasure to deal with Weekenda who make arrival so easy. We will be back for sure.
Such a gorgeous little place. Everything possible has been thought of to make for a comfortable stay. We love the fireplace and the views! We are sure to return. Thanks Weekenda for making everything so easy, Cheers!
A perfect little piece of country charm hidden in Broke. The exterior of the Cottage is quite rustic and really gives a sense of the area with vineyards dotted around. Inside is very well presented. Owners have taken great care to bring this farm cottage into the modern world. Lounge area is really comfy. We loved sitting around the fire drinking wine and chatting. Weekenda are great hosts. They provided us with a stack of information prior to arrival including some really cool deals they have running with some of the wine providers in the area. This was a great choice for us to just relax. Highly recommend.
