LOCATION Around a two hour journey from Sydney and just over 60 minutes from Newcastle, the Broke Fordwich area is in the southwest corner of the mid Hunter Valley. Sitting between Pokolbin and Wollombi, Broke played a critical role in the development and history of NSW.
Next door to boutique vineyards and near the olive farms of Broke, 10 minutes to the heart of Pokolbin for the best wine tasting and restaurants in NSW. For the golf enthusiasts, two of the best and most challenging golf courses in Australia (the Vintage and Cypress Lakes). Also near great Wedding Venues such as Adams Peak , Starline Alpacas and Margan.. Broke Village stands at the base of the Brokenback and Hunter Ranges on the Wollombi Brook. The massive Yellow Rock escarpment stands guard above. The Ranges shelter Broke Fordwich from much of the rainfall that the surrounding districts receive. The area has a sandy loam with river flat alluvial soil, volcanic soil and pockets of red basalt giving wine producers a variety of soil types known as terra rossa.
Today, more than a quarter of the Hunter’s wine grape production now comes from the area and Broke Fordwich wines are winning more than their fair share of national and international awards.
Importantly, Broke Fordwich retains it’s integrity as a rural community remaining free of large scale development, yet offering first class B&B and self catering accommodation, restaurants and activities. Visitors to the area are surprised by the amount of wildlife they see.

Plenty of rooms and toliets. Nice outdoor sitting area with a nice view.The hot tub was used everyday for the duration of the stay, adds a nice touch making the stay relaxing and peaceful.
A beautiful home in a gorgeous location. Colette and Mike were amazing hosts and patiently responded to all my queries. I booked the property for our work retreat and it was a winner!

We had an amazing time at Huntermoon. The location was tranquil and perfectly equipped with lots of activities to keep the kids entertained. The kitchen and bbq area was well stocked to cater for a large group.

Thanks Michelle and we would love you to come back!
We had a wonderful stay at this property over the new year period! Everything from booking the place to departing was made so easy by the host Colette. The house was very spacious and clean, anything you would need was provided. Everyone was extremely happy and comfortable with their stay and we would definitely recommend it to our family/friends. Will be back again without a doubt 🙂 Thank you!!

Hi Revana
Many thanks for being such great guests and being so tidy and respectful of the property.
Look forward to hearing from you in the future😊
Had an amazing stay at Hunter Moon for my sisters birthday weekend. Was perfect size for a large group and the place was beautiful. It is a little far from local shops and the vineyards but we had organized a tour bus and that worked out fine. Colette was easy to contact and work with! Would definitely recommend

Thanks for your lovely review and I am glad to hear you organised a tour as that is the best way to visit cellar doors. Hopefully you visited some of our 11 local cellar doors and restaurants that are within 5-10 mins drive from Hunter Moon.
This is an amazing property for a large group of friends. The place has all the necessary amenities, including a spa to make the trip very enjoyable. There was plenty of space and room for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. The owners were very nice and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend Hunter Moon

Hi Omal - thanks for being such great tidy guests! Hope the cricket team can return again on day.
This is an amazing property with plenty of space, beautiful grounds and lovely views. The house itself is beautifully decorated with a fully equipped kitchen and bbq area for entertaining large groups and special extras like fresh flowers scattered throughout the house which is a very lovely touch. Communication and help from our host Colette was second to none. Thank you so much for making or stay a special one!
We had a very large group of family come over from overseas for a family event ranging from 4 to 82 years of age. The house is amazing and was luxurious for every single persons stay. I have never seen such a well equipped house with every possible thing available, about 25 mins drive from the Hunter. Thank you so much for helping us have such a memorable stay!
Amazing in autumn, attention to a quality from a great host
Great property with a fantastic host who cared for all of the details for a great stay with quality and attention to the details that are truly appreciated. Well appointed property for a memorable family group stay.

Thanks very much Sharon and we are happy to hear you had a memorable time.
We had a small intimate wedding weekend at the property. The landscape and scenery was simply picturesque. Luckily it didn’t rain during our stay but we had to have our ceremony on the deck as the ground was soaked and muddy.
Colette was a phenomenal host and very accommodating with all our requests to create our dream wedding weekend. The property is large and spacious which was perfect for large groups and entertaining.
Would definitely go back!

thanks for the lovely comments and look forward to hearing from you in the future.
What a lovely and spacious house and property. We had 3 families in this house and it had more than enough room for the kids (and dogs) to run around freely and the adults to sit and enjoy the house. Thank you Colette for a wonderful stay.
Our group had the chance to stay in the Hunter Moon and it was nothing short of amazing! The property is very spacious and there are so many activities in the house. We had so much fun in the spa, playing table tennis and badminton. Also in close proximity to the house are wineries, some of which we visited. The BBQ also came in handy on our second night as well as we cooked a feast! As for each of the rooms, they were mostly clean and very comfortable. Finally, our host Collette was quick to respond to all of our questions and was extremely hospitable, making our super smooth sailing. The only suggestion I'd give would be to add a Chromecast device in the entertainment room (very cheap and useful for streaming services) but otherwise everything was great :D! Thank you Colette!
What an incredible property! Colette and Mark have created the most amazing group accommodation option. The little touches (white boards for names on doors, separate private seating areas) were so great but the group activities/games and fire pit were the most popular with the spa!
The fresh roses in every room and around the house was really lovely too.

Hi Andrew, Many thanks for your lovely review and glad you enjoyed all Hunter Moon had to offer
We stayed at this property with a group of 20 to celebrate my 30th. Hunter Moon Country House was perfect! We all had plenty of space for sleeping and the layout of the house made it a dream of entertaining! We had a long lunch on the back deck which was already set up and decorated for us. The back lawn area was perfect to run around and play games which were provided my Colette and Mick. The spa was great in the evenings and we even managed to cool it down during the day as it was a very warm weekend.
I would highly recommend the Hunter Moon Country House, Broke as an area and Colette and Mick as hosts. We will be back and encourage everyone to check this place out :)

About the host
Hosted by Colette Houtzaager
My husband and I have been managing holiday properties of our own both in Australia and Spain for nearly 10 years.
Why they chose this property
We loved the area and boutique vineyards and restaurants away from some of the busier parts of the Hunter Valley. Yet still just over 2 hours from Sydney.
What makes this property unique
We loved our first house Cicada so we put a second house on the property so we could rent to holiday groups. Hunter Moon was purposely built with many touches to make a large group comfortable rather than taking an existing home and making it trying to fit to large groups. We added second wing added in July , 2018 which will take a larger group. We have made it feel very private and beautiful views across the dam to the mountains.
