Hunter Stay

The property is in a great location for a look around the lower Hunter and experience some delicious food and quality wine. The studio is apart of the Gartelmann winery so a tasting is a must and a leisurely meal at the Deck cafe should not be missed. The studio its self has all the amenities to make the stay very comfortable.

Quick Pet Friendly Getaway

Overall this property was value for money. Reasonably priced and short stroll to deck cafe. It was pet friendly and not many neighbours for my dog to annoy but could do with a bit more comfortable outdoor furniture to sit and read a book eg there is no mattress on the outdoor lounge. Also be sure to bring your mozzie zapper and aeroguard.

Great little getaway

We wanted a weekend away, but didn’t want to travel too far as it was only for two nights, then I found this little villa on the Gartelmann Estate up the Hunter Valley. It was just perfect we were aloud to bring our little Labordoodle dog there was a yard he could run around in, we took him to the deck cafe & to Gartelmanns wine tasting everyone on the estate were very friendly & accomodating to us & our little dog Fred.The Villa is great & has everything you need for a weekend away we were offered another night at half price, we definitely would have taken up if we didn’t have work commitments.We will definitely stay there again sometime in the near future.

Hi Nicole, wow you have just summed up the Gartelmann Studio experience so perfectly in your review! We are so glad you enjoyed your little weekend getaway. The Deck Cafe is a team favourite and I am sure that you walked away from some bottles of wine from Gartelmann Wines. We can't wait to have you visit again! The Weekenda Team

We had a fabulous stay at Catersfield Cottage this Christmas. We really liked the location of the property - Mistletoe Lane is so scenic and the property itself has beautiful views. The house itself is very spacious. The interiors are very well maintained and it contained everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and wonderful. The pictures on Stayz don't do the house justice at all. Plus, Barbara was so lovely to deal with! We can't wait to return to Catersfield Cottage, only this time we'll be staying longer.

Full of pleasant surprises

Before arriving at the Gartelmann studio, we were excited by having a cute and well presented studio with a fireplace all to ourselves. However, it was much more than this. The cellar door and deck cafe on the site fat exceeded our expectations. Gartelmann wines are exquisite,.and as a guest you get a discount. The cafe served wonderful food and had a beautiful view of a duck pond. The grounds were also beautiful to walk around with resident horses, alpacas and visiting kangaroos.

Great, relaxing stay!

Arriving late on a Friday winter night, to welcoming lights and a warm fire, set the tone for the weekend! The studio is a perfect retreat for couples, especially if you need to recharge! You have privacy and great views of the garden. The accomodation is very comfortable and I would highly recommend. Everyone at Gartelmanns was very friendly. If having breakfast at The Deck, definitely book as busy on weekends. We will return!

Beautiful location

We enjoyed our 3 night stay at Villa Siena. This villa is large, well equipped with a few extras we were very pleased to find - coffee machine, cling wrap, salt, pepper, sugar etc. The view from the verandah over vines into bush with heaps of kangaroos in the early morning and evening was fantastic and one which overseas visitors would marvel. The area was very tranquil and beautiful for photography. The villa was well presented and had plenty of seating and crockery for a large group and the dishwasher was very quiet. There were a couple of minor maintenance issues (shower head in disabled bathroom and toilet seat in another room) which we were able to get around but need to be attended to for the comfort of guests. Also the beds are very hard and do take some getting used to. Perhaps a mattress topper would be a good addition. Overall we had a great stay and were very pleased with this villa.
