My mum, my friend, my puppy Teddy and I adored our stay here! We loved the view from the windows and when we sat together outside and explored around the place!! We had many adventures in Cessnock and the Hunter valley and it was amazing to wake up and see all the different animals come out to eat or just sitting and looking around. Thank you so much for having us and hopefully we can come back at a later date to continue exploring!

Cozy country cottage

We enjoyed our second lovely stay at Neudorf, we loved waking up to misty green views and the warm log fire. Our dogs especially loved the wide open space and we feel at home in the cozy cottage. Remote enough to get away from it all but close enough to drive to the hunter and enjoy a day of wine tasting. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Regina Aubermann + Neil Ashley

Host profile image

We are dog-lovers and have fallen in love with the charming Wollombi Village in the year 2000. Welcoming locals, historic buildings, fresh air and a beautiful country feeling enticed us to join this great community and to find a place where our dogs could enjoy a holiday with us, in open space while enjoying being emerged in nature.

Why they chose this property

We like to share with you the opportunity to experience a holiday with our without your dog/s!
Emerge into nature, find stillness, walk amongst trees, watch the local wildlife visit -
while being close to exploring what the Hunter Valley has to offer. In winter-time the outdoor firepit will warm your hearts with stories; while the night sky shows you the glory of the universe. Summer has a different kind of feel. The hammock might be the perfect spot to read your book. The outdoor undercover dining area ready for the family BBQ.
Come and raise a glass on the verandah in joy of not having to go or do anything. Bliss.

What makes this property unique

Your dog/s is/are most welcome to Neudorf. We don't charge any extra fees for dogs.
We ask you to be mindful of wildlife, cleaning up after your dog around the house area and do not let your dog/s on any furniture.
We now offer additonal space for your friends + family to joing you. TinyNeudorf is about a 5 min walk away from the cottage seperated by trees. Sleeping 2 guests in a queen bed with a king single sofa lounge for the larger child to stay. The Tiny has everything you need for a comfortable stay in nature. If you need more photos or have any questions...we are happy to chat to you. We know you will love this little slice of nature. See you soon!
