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 :)

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.

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.

Lovely, spacious and great views!

We had a lovely time. House was spacious, comfortable with amazing views of the grape vines and mountain ranges. Kids loved the outdoors and spent time watching the ducks by the pond. Location quite central and easy to access all the popular vineyards & tourist locations. Poonam was a gracious host and very quick to respond to our queries.....we would love to be back for another visit soon....😊
