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 easy for you. We will send you an access code just before 2 pm on your arrival day via SMS and you will use this code for the duration of your stay.

Pets: Pets are welcome at this property once the pet regulations have been completed and agreed to in writing prior to arrival. Guests are responsible for supervising their pets at all times, and any damage caused by pets will be the responsibility of the guest.

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.

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 & Noise Monitoring: For the safety of our guests, the property, and the surrounding community, external security cameras may be installed at this property. These cameras are positioned only in external access areas (such as entry points) and are used solely for security and neighbourhood impact monitoring. All cameras are installed and operated in accordance with local regulations. Additional external cameras may be installed by the owner from time to time if required.

Some properties may also be fitted with a noise monitoring device. These devices do not record conversations and are used only to help ensure compliance with our guest responsibilities and the NSW Short-Term Rental Code of Conduct. Guests must not disconnect, remove, or damage any monitoring equipment. Doing so may result in fines or further action.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to reach out — we’re always happy to help.

Guest Registration / ID Check: Weekenda requires every guest to complete and sign an electronic guest registration prior to arrival which will ask for a photo ID i.e. a copy of your driver's Licence or Passport. The primary booker will also be required to complete a list with the guest's 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.

Insurance: 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'

We look forward to having you stay with us

Weekend getaway

A great getaway with the family, the firepit of an evening was perfect. The kids loved the horses and their was loads of space outside to kick the ball around. The property was neat, warm and well looked after, and the hosts very responsive.

We enjoyed our stay and were happy, but the online photos are deceiving. The furniture is a bit dated, the bathroom old and especially the outdoor setting was unusable. The seat covers were ripped and dirty and the seats were broken, which was a real shame. For that price we expected it a bit nicer, but overall we had a nice stay.

Family cottage close to Cellar doors.

Nice place to stay for family close to Cellar doors and everything Hunter valley has to offer. We were disappointed that there was no outdoor fire pit as advertised as this was one of the main reasons we booked. Glad we didn’t buy firewood as advised in email. Horses were nice to pat when we could call them over and they could get close enough when gates were open to them.

Hi Kathryn, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the location and the horses. We apologise for the missing outdoor fire pit and any inconvenience this caused. We'll ensure our listings are updated to reflect the current amenities accurately. Best regards, Weekenda Reservations Team

Weekend getaway with friends

Good little property that is tucked away behind the vineyards in the Hunter with friendly horses on the property. They did not look like Clydesdales though. Good out door area for dogs to run and play and enclosed indoor dining area as shelter from the rain. The decor and property was a bit dated and lacked enough kitchen ware for the number of guests we booked for. If the property is updated a bit more, we would certainly return on a regular basis as the location suited our liking.

Stay at Clydesdale Cottage

Property was well kept and easy to access. It was lovey to be able to see and pat the horses. I wouldn’t want to take the kids there as the yard has bad bindies and big burs and you wouldn’t want to be outside without shoes or fall over. There was not enough toilet paper left and very small rubbish bin in the kitchen with no garbage bag refills. Overall though, the stay was lovely.
Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2020
Response from VrboOwner on 1 August 2023
Hi Tegan, thank you for your review. Unfortunately bindis and burs are common place in the Hunter Valley, good tip for future guests to be diligent! Thank you for outlining the shortcomings in the rubbish system. We hope to host you again in the future!
