Great for large groups

“Great stay, overall the property was fantastic with great facilities for 4 families- everyone enjoyed it and there was plenty to do for our kids (2-10yrs) and lots of space to spread out. The setting is beautiful; we'd return in a flash.

Excellent Stay!!!

“We absolutely loved Dalwood! There was so much space for the adults and the kids, plenty of activities for the little ones, the surrounding areas were beautiful and it was just perfect. Everyone commented on how they would love to come again next year. The beds were super comfortable and everything was very clean and tidy. The woodfire pizza oven made for a fun evening with wine and music. Overall would no doubt book again!”

Lovely country home, wood fire, comfortable and ea

Dalwood was the perfect house for our Easter break. The living and oudoor areas were great as was the kitchen. The availability of a washing machine was also greatly appreciated. The bedding was crisp and white as were the towels. Lovely lavender shower provisions..

Highly recommended

Dalwood House was an excellent property that I will definitely stay at again and recommend to others. The booking process and check in process was extremely easy. The furnishings were beautiful and of an extremely high quality, more impressive than in the photos. The house was well stocked with cleaning products and everything you need to stay for a long weekend. The location was excellent too, not too far from the heart of Pokolbin, but very isolated. The property was excellent for 16 people, as the living areas and tables were more than accommodating for this number of guests.

Countryside House Hunter Valley

We had a wonderful time. The house is as you can see in the photos. The children enjoyed a lot the pool, the tumbling, and the playroom. We enjoyed the BBQ and the living room, The tables are the right size for our party of 11. The bedrooms were enough, and there was an extra room we did not use. The number of restrooms is good. There are kitchen appliances that help a lot and the number of cutlery and plates is good. We loved the overall place with kangaroos nearby. We went out to run or walk in the mornings with beautiful surroundings. There are supermarkets very near 10 min. Overall I highly recommend this house

Nice family getaway Specially kids had good time

The property was nice and clean But for the price they charging you expect better. Few things definitely needs some repairs are as below to make it excellent place to stay with family 1. The ensuite sliding door system tin on of the bedrooms wasn't working correctly which we stock in bathroom couple of times 2. The remote for LG surround system wast there and we couldn't use it 3. The paving around pool wasn't stable as the paver drooped in the water couple of time 4. The decking around the pool was very old and sinking and had nails popped out which caused injury to my sun 5. The kitchen cabinet draw systems were not functioning and very hard to open and close with some handles missing 6. Some Flyscreen's were damaged and missing 7. The beds at the 2 bedrooms close to pool table had very noisy springs and couldn't sleep at night

Great getaway

This was our second time staying here. Plenty of room, well equipped kitchen. As it was quite cool the fireplace got a good workout as did the pizza oven. The kids loved the huge trampoline. The home itself is starting to show its age and the cleaning wasn't quite up to scratch.

Great house but short supply of basic household products

Great house for a group of friends. Good sized rooms with comfortable beds and well appointed. Good living spaces. Only negative was the supply of basic products. We had to buy our own dishwashing liquid, paper towels and toilet paper (their supply was minimal) and there were only two tea towel provided, other than that the property managers were very friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed our stay.

Great family get away with plenty of space for all

The home was very big and spacious. All the amenities were immaculate. The property was beautiful and well kept. Plenty of fire wood to keep all the fires going for the few days we stayed. Improvements could be a fire pit to sit around at night with family and friends to add to the ambiance of this wonderful property. Also the the pizza oven has a number of cracks which makes cooking pizza for lots of people quite difficult, but otherwise, the Dalwood Country House really does have it all and is an amazing place to stay. Highly recommended. Would definitely stay again.
