Perfect for a girls weekend getaway

Would highly recommend Camelia Cottage for a weekend getaway. I stayed with 4 friends over a weekend. The house was stunning, close to coffee shops and we throughly enjoyed cooking in the big kitchen and roasting marshmallows on the fireplace.

Great Weekend

We loved this property. Great old style house nicely furnished. Would definitely recommend. No handrailing's on the stairs made it a little difficult for my elderly dad so if you have someone with mobility issues keep this in mind. Otherwise a great property.

STUNNING property

We loved this 1910 built cottage. Absolutely stunning inside. Incredibly clean. Lovely sitting in the garden enjoying a wine with friends. Affordable. We will absolutely be staying here again. The only thing I would say is the curtains in the main bedroom needed to be darker and easier to close, it would not stop us staying here again. Loved it!

The cottage was amazing and well situated to the shops. Our only complaint is that in the welcome book it mentioned the wine and coffee that was left for us which we didn’t get. Also there was only one toilet roll left and no sponge to wash up with. Sounds trivial but we were trying to look after this lovely place.

Hi Lisa Thanks so much for your feedback, we are so sorry there were a couple of little misses by housekeeping. We do wish you had reached out to us during your stay, as we would have been happy to rectify these for you. We hope to welcome you again soon.

Was a gem of a property

We are fairly new to stayz accommodation but this was a perfect, and much less costly, alternative to staying in one of the big resorts. We came up with 2x grandparents, 2x parents, 3 year old and newborn and the property catered for all. The property was big enough to have own space, but cozy enough that our three year old was happy to be in a separate bedroom (although there was a day bed in our room just in case). All amenities were catered for, with lots of attention to detail. The property itself was clean, well looked after and well renovated. Water pressure was excellent, a little too good causing shower flooding but there were instructions and squeegees in the bathroom should that happen. We would love to stay here again.

What a dream home

The property has such a beautiful period style aesthetic. The gardens are well maintained and the outdoors completely functional. Close to lots of good food options and only 10 minutes from the hunter valley. Communication with the host was effortless.

Delightful House with a very pleasing decor and central to most wineries

My friends and I overall enjoyed staying at Camelia House. It is situated in a very central location in Cessnock and to most wineries. No winery was more than 15 mins drive away. The decor and colours used throughout the property were very pleasing. There were three things which disappointed us: the amount of dust in the house which caused two of us to get allergies and didn’t sleep well as a result. The mattresses need to be changed as they aren’t firm. The impractical location of the floor waste in the shower: one had to carefully shower with very limited water coming out of the shower head, to avoid flooding the floor due to bad design of the water waste location.

It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed your stay Valerie. The cottage is professionally cleaned, including dusting prior to each and every guest arrival, however we will address your comment about the dust with housekeeping. We try to cater to most with the comfort level of the mattresses and therefore they do have a medium feel rather than firm and unfortunately, whilst there can be slow water drainage in the bathroom due the drain's location, we do provide additional bathmats and a squeegy to deal with any overflow from the shower.

Ok

Nice house however air conditioner was not working , so we were pretty cold for the first day until the electrical heaters actually started warming the house. Also the power kept turning off and had to flick switch on at electricity box, not fun when it was dark and raining outside.
Response from VrboOwner on 21 March 2020
Hi Kathy. Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that you were not 100% satisfied with your stay at Camellia Cottage. It was unfortunate that we were awaiting parts delivery for the repair of the air conditioner, which did not arrive in time for your stay. Upon request, additional heaters to the gas fireplace and other room heaters already at the cottage, were delivered to you on the night of your arrival. It seems therefore, that as you had quite a number of heaters going at the one time, when you turned your hairdryer on, it did overload the circuit. The air conditioner is now repaired and fully functioning, however we do extend to you our sincere apologies that is was unrepairable prior to your arrival and for any inconvenience caused. The team @ Unwind Hunter Valley
