Lovedale is a relaxed neighbourhood east of Pokolbin, and the perfect spot to get that Insta shot of Skippy among the vines as the rambling vineyards and pastures are full of mobs of kangaroos and wallabies.
The winding country roads are lined with tasty eateries and small, boutique cellar doors, so you can meet the owners and enjoy a more personal experience, while tasting local wines and gourmet snacks.
Lovedale is also home to many artists so no surprise there are galleries to explore, plus you can go horseriding, hot-air ballooning or take a cooking class with a local chef.
It’s no wonder it’s a favourite wedding destination, with couples getting hitched in cute chapels or outdoors among the vines.
Both of our next door neighbours are wineries - so leave the car and go for tastings! 5-7 minute drive to the best restaurants in the area, and many of the other Hunter Valley attractions.
Our house is perfect for family and friends get togethers of all sorts!

My friends and I had a fantastic weekend at Las Palmas. David was very responsible with any questions we had before our stay. The house was clean, well stocked and all bedrooms were spacious.Highly recommend for large groups!
Large sprawling place with plenty of ‘zones’ for everyone to relax and kids to explore. Loved seeing the Kangaroos hop past during an afternoon swim in the pool. David was quick to respond with any questions we had. Can’t wait to come back for a longer stay.
Honestly the best service for a holiday home we have had. Host was available to help with taking my calls instantly anytime of the day or night for any help we needed. So many activities available withing the property that kept all the adults and kids entertained for our stay. No need to leave the property for entertainment. Also had animals surrounding that the kids loved.
We stayed at the property the night before and of my wedding. It was absolutely spectacular and suited all ages. For the kids it had a pool, soccer nets, a see-saw, and some very impressive play equipment. It’s a huge space with two seperate buildings (perfect for us, as we had one for the bridesmaids and one for family). Our host, David, was extremely helpful and accomodating. Couldn’t recommend more!
Fantastic place, exceeded expectations and owners were incredibly easy to communicate with!
Would highly recommend this property for the perfect getaway for groups of couples / families. House was so clean and has everything you could utilise and more!
Much bigger open space than I could have imagined so whilst we didn’t have kids there, would definitely consider coming back with the kids to enjoy the outdoors!! Owner was lovely and incredibly easy to communicate with as well which always makes for a smooth holiday you can plan in advance!
Las Palmas Hunter Valley is the most amazing property. It is exactly as advertised with a few surprise additions that were very welcomed, including a small soccer field in the yard and a large outdoor fire pit. We were a bridal party that stayed at the property for the weekend and we couldn't be happier with our stay. David helped us throughout the entire booking and check-in process to make it a seamless experience, and the property itself was very clean, tidy and well maintained. David also assisted with returning some items that were left at the property after we checked out! All in all, a great experience and would definitely recommend for large groups.
We stayed for 2 nights here as a group of 20 women and the property was perfect. It’s in a great location with Emma’s Cottage and Stomp wines next door.
The property was ideal for our group as there was enough space to relax and chill out with the large main living area perfect for a catered dinner cooked on premises for us.
David was great to communicate with and made our booking so easy - thank you!
We highly recommend & would love to stay again in the future!
Great for family, we had 8 adults and 7 grandchildren 1-8 who enjoyed the playground as they called it. The pool was a big hit. The house was well stocked for a family with toys and games for the grandchildren. The kitchen well thought out and had everything we needed,plenty of plates glasses, kids plates cutlery etc. The main living area and kitchen is a great huge space for a large family group.
We all had a wonderful time and look forward to the next time we visit.
We had an amazing week at this property in Lovedale
The house was so clean on our arrival.
The location was really brilliant with many wineries very close by.
The house had everything we needed to cater for 15 people and there was ample space. David was lovely to deal with and very easy to contact.
We had a great stay in David's gorgeous property. The house was lovely and secluded. The facilities were excellent and the check in process was very easy. David was a great host.

Thanks Sarah, the seclusion made us fall in love with the property in the first place! Thanks for staying with us.
We were a family of 12 including kids. We all had a great time. Pool is amazing. House is really spacious with all you need there. Property was really neat and clean. David as a host been amazing with always responding to your queries straightaway. We will definitely go back.
My family and I, plus partners (9 adults total) stayed here for 4 days to celebrate my 60th birthday. Weather wasn’t fantastic, but we were still able to enjoy the pool, bbq and fire pit. The house is very private surrounded by bush land and the owner was very accessible and friendly. Loved the stay and would recommend to anyone.
We really liked the set up of the main house and cottage given there were 4 couples and only 2 of us had kids (who wake up early so 2 couples had some peace and quiet in the cottage!). Kitchen is great and we cooked most nights for 8 adults and 4 kids which was easy and the kids loved the pool. The firepit is also great and not too close to the house when you want to have a few wines after putting the kids to bed. David was a great host, easily contactable and responsive. We'd stay again. Thanks David.
We had a awesome time staying at this property with friends and their kids over the Australian Day long weekend.
Perfect for families and friends.
Amazing pool to swim with the kids and just relax by the pool or in the water.
Great large property with privacy, except for the visiting kangaroos early in the morning.
And Stomp Wines is literally a 2min walk up the road!
Definitely will consider staying here again .
