About this property
Kookaburra Hideaway Hunter Valley
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.

"Fantastic place for a weekend. Perfect for a group of friends or couples. Everything you need is supplied. Plenty of space to do whatever you want. Really quiet surroundings, great place to unwind, but still close enough to all the wineries, restaurants etc."
