Home among the vines

It is not often that the property surpasses the pictures. This is one such place. The location is quiet and serence on the rolling lawn and up into the vines. The kangaroos bounded past the verandah where we sat to watch the sun sink with a glass after our stroll across the property. The combustion fire set the scene for family games in the lounge whilst the ducted system made all the bedrooms toasty. The downstairs bedrooms are comfortable and homely whilst the upstairs are opulent and luxurious. Morning sun greeted us through every window as we watched the hot air balloons slowly rise over Mount Yengo. To say nothing of its proximity to the surrounding vinyards, estates and restaurants. Lovely country drives and Hunter hospitality. Iyla exceeded our expectations on every scale. We cannot wait until our next visit.

A perfect Hunter Valley experience.

Waking to incredible sunrises reflected on the water/dam is an amazing way to start the day. Everything about Iyla Estate exceeded expectations. From wandering through the vineyard, watching the bird life, sitting on the deck watching the sunsets with a glass of local wine all contributed to a very relaxing holiday. The house is very well appointed, comfortable beds with lovely bedding, a large dining room, very comfortable sitting room with views over the vineyard and distant mountains. The kitchen was fully equipped which gave us the opportunity to prepare lovely meals with quality Hunter Valley produce. It was a very drive to wineries and restaurants. Poonam was a delight to communicate with. All her instructions about the property were clear and concise. Can’t recommend this property highly enough.

Family Getaway

We absolutely loved our stay at Iyla Estate. We went as a family with our daughter's & their partner's, so there was 7 of us all up & we had plenty of room. It is a well thought out home with all your creature comforts to allow for an enjoyable experience. From coffee pods for the coffee machine, to a great selection off tea's, sugar, baking paper & even napkins. We loved the wood fire & wood provided for the cold nights along with the board games which we had fun playing. Iyla Estate is very private, quiet & the views are breathtaking. It is conveniently located to restaurants, vineyards & breweries. Poonam was a wonderful hosts & was so accommodating to all of our needs. He was quick to respond & nothing was to much trouble. We would definitely recommend Iyla Estate & we look forward to returning, hopefully very soon :)

About the host

Hosted by Poonam

Hi!

I am a cardiac scientist by profession and science is my passion.

My family and I moved away from the hustle and bustle of the city seeking the peace and quiet of farm and vineyard lifestyle at iyla Estate.

As a host I will endeavour to make your stay at our home as convenient and joyful as possible.

Why they chose this property

If you are into a bit of vineyard history, the iyla Estate has the oldest vines in the Hunter valley region. The 1 ha of Cabernet sauvignon was planted in 1974 and 1.5 ha of Traminer the following year.

"The Cabernet Sauvignon has been a consistent medal winner at Hunter shows." -JAMES HALLIDAY
