OOOHHHH! :)
We are super chuffed that you enjoyed your stay.
Pictures tell one side of the story...staying and experiencing Neudorf is something else. We are a bit biased ...but 20 years of sharing and repeat guests can't be wrong. Thank you for posting photos, too!
See you soon again. Regina Neil
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!

Enjoyed the serenity of the country setting. Loved sitting in front of the log fire with my book and a wine. Grand dog enjoyed her swim in the dam. Great for small family or friends.

Hi Carolyn, so glad you enjoyed the serenity. We could not agree more...the timber firebox inside and the open fire pit is the best. And all the the family being together and watching the dog swimming tops it! See you soon! Regina Neil
We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful property. Very relaxing spot and so great for our dogs to run and explore. Kitchen was very well equipped, we would be happy to return.

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.

Fantastic place for both people and dogs
Our dogs had a great time swimming in the dam and roaming around the property enjoying the type of freedom you can’t get in the city
We enjoyed the fact the property is not only beautiful but has everything you could possibly want.
We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay there again

Hi Signe and Tiina, just saw your lovely comment, slipped my radar. Love your awesome outdoor lounge idea! Thanks again for staying with us and see you back soon!
Had a great experience staying at Neudorf for a couple of nights with the family and dogs. Large property, clean accom and a short 20mins into town (Cessnock). Regina and Neil were very helpful, and provided easy to follow directions to the property. Would definitely recommend staying

I stayed her with two friends, and very much enjoyed our time. The location was perfect and felt quite remote, while still being close to shops. At night we couldn't here any neighbors or traffic, which was lovely.

We had a great weekend at this serene and very private property. The firepit, indoor fireplace and spotting kangaroos were the highlight of our trip. Regina was very helpful and even helped us with our car that had a dead battery. Would highly recommend. Thankyou Regina and Neil

Very tidy and looked after, felt homely with a nice mix of modern utilities in a classic home. Very remote to help relax in nature and feel disconnected from city stresses.
Quite happy with our visit here. The stay was excellent.

Thank you Joel,
so glad the stay allowed you to relax and let the stress of the city behind. Busy lives are running away with us and it is more important than ever to find the time to get away and re-charge in nature and just be. We will forward this to our cleaner, she will be very chuffed to read your feedback. A tidy cottage and giving a homely feeling is what we strive the most. Excellent feedback :)
Hope to see you back real soon!

Nice country style house with all the bells and whistles. Even an indoor fireplace to stay warm. Very clean and has a full kitchen and fridge so you can cook in case you want to stay in rather than explore the Hunter.

About the host
Hosted by Regina Aubermann + Neil Ashley
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!
