Host was excellent and easy to communicate with. Cottage is quaint and beautiful. We loved to relax in the spa watching the sun go down. Went for a walk to see the friendly little horse which came up to us for a pat. There were a couple of friendly alpacas as well. So much fun.

Wonderful spot to relax

We stayed at Bluegum Cottage for 4 nights. Lovely deck with a spa, surrounded by nature. Very clean and spacious. The AC was much appreciated Ona very hot day! We had a small dog and it was great to be able to bring him. The yard is small but enclosed. There are a number of bush tracks to explore. Clear and quick communication with hosts. We had to postpone our booking twice because of lockdowns and Eloise was very kind and accommodating. Will definitely be back!

Quite and secluded cottage

We liked the seclusion of Bluegum Cottage. Lots of wildlife and a lovely view from the deck. Furnishings were comfortable and all the appliances worked perfectly. We'd like to see a screen door added to the entranceway to allow for good air flow. It took a bit of getting used to to only drink bottled water, but we got by. We did all of our own cooking in the well appointed kitchen. We rate this property to be the best we have found within a couple of hours from Newcastle for our two cavoodles, completely safe and secure. Would recommend this location for a quiet getaway. This was out first stay but we will be returning.

Ahhhh The Serenity

This gorgeous rustic cabin was just perfect for our 3 night stay. The view and the bird noises were so relaxing. It was so much fun feeding the horse and donkeys carrot and apple. So funny they would make a beeline for the cabin as soon as they saw someone there. So peaceful and quiet. Eloise was so friendly and helpful. We highly recommend and will return if ever we are in the Hunter Valley again.

Fantastic honeymoon

We stayed for 3 nights in the Bluegum cottage with our small dog. The place was fantastic as it has everything we needed. We loved the walks and all the animals on the farm and the spa in our cottage was just perfect after a day out Exploring.

A Lovely Rustic Secluded Getaway

This is a small but well appointed cabin that feels very private. The horse greeted us on our first morning, super friendly and very gentle. Even the Highland cattle came to say a quick and friendly hello. Eloise was brilliant. She really went out of her way to help. Everything was as described. The property was spotless. The bed was very comfortable. If you’re looking for a secluded getaway, this is a good one. Thanks Eloise!
