Lovedale Cottages provide self contained, private, Hunter Valley accommodation, peacefully nestled amongst tall gum trees. They are accessed by a short country lane and are close to a host of vineyards and fine restaurants.
Escape the city stress amid 28 acres of vineyard and rural farmland bordered by National Park. Enjoy a walk in the bush, unwind by the pool, wallow in your own private spa or simply rest and relax in front of the fire.
Imagine waking to birdsongs, then sitting on your sunny verandah sipping a brew of plunger coffee or a pot of tea before indulging in a sumptuous breakfast of your choice. Your hosts Rosie & Paul supply a large complimentary breakfast hamper and offer friendly unobtrusive service and are happy to advise you on any queries you may have.
There is a choice of accommodation. The One Bedroom Cottage, the Two Bedroom Villa and the Three Bedroom Homestead. Each cottage has its own facilities for cooking - however the children's play area should help to fill in the children's day if they can find the time or excess energy. Smoking is permitted on the verandah but not inside the cottages.
The One Bedroom Cottage is just the place for a couple to have a private escape, yet within easy reach of the wineries and attractions of the Hunter Valley.
