About this property

Glen Ayr Cottages, Pokolbin NSW

Murray cottage is one of five cottages at Glen Ayr Cottages, situated in the heart of Pokolbin vineyards, five minutes' drive from Hunter Gardens, concert venues, and many wineries. Murray is a comfortable two-bedroom cottage with two queen beds; the bedrooms are en-suite. It has a large living and kitchen area with an open fire and air-conditioning. The kitchen is fully equipped, and all linen is provided.

The cottage is kept meticulously clean by our long-term housekeeper, who uses alcohol-based cleaning agents.

Murray cottage is an hour and forty-five minutes' drive from the beginning of the M1 Motorway (Pacific Highway) at Wahroonga, and an hour from the centre of Newcastle. Despite being within five minutes' drive of many large wineries, it is quiet and secluded. It has views of neighbouring Audrey Wilkinson's vineyard from its verandah. Nearby attractions include wine tasting, fine restaurants, galleries, horse riding, hot air ballooning, bushwalking, golfing and sky diving.

There is also a great variety of birds and other wildlife in the surrounding area, including kangaroos and frill-necked lizards; kangaroos often graze in front of the cottage.

Murray is comfortable and clean.

We charge per guest. A minimum of two guests if required for weekend bookings.

If you wish to make a booking, we ask for a twenty percent deposit.

Please contact the owners if you have any enquiries.

Great location and surroundings

I enjoyed this property. It was close to everything and well stocked with firewood, and the fire was all prepared for us. Communications were excellent; there was loads of privacy- great. This cabin had two bathrooms, making it great for couples or friends sharing the property. The only thing i would add, was including a cheese knife

Serenity Beauty Wildlife View Perfection

The place was perfect, stayed over the Christmas break. The scenery was beautiful, the sounds of the birds was amazing, the view was so peaceful. Cannot wait to book during winter for the fireplace. It is now our place to go and clock out from the rest of the world.

Such a beautiful experience

Me and my partner booked the Murray cottage and it was such a wonderful experience! We stayed in July so we took advantage of the beautiful fire place which wood was provided for us and we also took advantage of the beautiful deck overlooking the property where we had our cheese platter and wine of an evening. This cabin has everything you need with cooking appliances, tea, coffee, kettle and toaster etc. The bed was very comfortable and had nice warm woollen blankets to keep us warm in winter. It was such a lovely country experience, my partner even went foraging on the property for some sticks and twigs to add to the fire place and we got to see so many wild life. We can’t wait to rebook again! This will be a yearly thing for us as it was just so relaxing and loved how the Murray cottage felt so country! Love the high raked ceiling as well. Thank you for having us.
