A beautiful place to get away from it all. We stayed as a group of 12 in two cottages for my husband's 50th birthday, took lots of fabulous food with us and had a great time at the Jazz in the Vines festival. I can totally recommend it and would like to go back!

Our stay at Woodland Cottages was a very enjoyable experience indeed. We stayed over the Easter break and to our delight the Easter Bunny arrived in the disguise as one of the owners. This small touch has left a lasting memory and we will certainly return again next year. The cottages are beautifully presented and the ambiance very serene. Recommending this place would be a pleasure.
We absolutely loved our stay at Woodland cottages. Location is perfect, calm and peaceful yet close to all the activities of the Hunter. It was a very relaxing place and I highly recommend staying at the property.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Very nice good location but a few dowsides
The property and cabin were really nice, easy location. Easy access to property and the check in was good. Also really great that there was a small fireplace and firewood provided for us. The biggest problem was lack of communication. The roads to access the property were dirt and full of huge potholes. Secondly the shower had one of the worst water pressures I've ever had. I didn't have a proper shower the whole time I stayed. I get that it's a rural property that uses rain water but there was no effort to communicate this whatsoever. Also the tap water was also rainwater and not safe to drink. None of this was communicated to us before the visit. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but it wasn't worth the money we payed at all. I don't really reccomend it.

Thanks for your review Josh.
In reply to a few of your comments, Lomas Lane and McCarty Road is maintained and graded by council approx. every 3 months.
The shower was fixed and the flow is fine, it was simply due to a few little particles blocking the full flow. Apologies, as had you brought this to our attention during your stay we could of attended to it. Although the tap water is supplied from rain water we have always drank it and never experiences any problems.

Great location and lovely cottage!
Currawong was a great cottage for 12 of us (6 adults and 6 kids) - close to the wineries and the hunter valley gardens. The cottage was well equipped, clean and homely. The onsite pool was a bonus. Would recommend especially for a larger group.

Great place to spend for 4 nights over Christmas. Perfect for our two families (4 adults and 4 kids) and very central to the wineries while still having some country feel.
