Company information

We offer boutique accommodation with an Australian character, but most importantly offering privacy, seclusion, and everything for a true escape for a romantic getaway, a wine appreciation weekend or a break from the city. Enjoy plenty of Australian flora, fauna and landscape. You will find us among the vineyards and olive groves on Hermitage Road, Pokolbin, in the Hunter Valley Wine Country.

Property information

For maximum privacy, our five cottages are situated well apart over the 20 acres and they are screened by natural vegetation or situated to take advantage of the views. This makes it a truly special escape for one or two couples. In summer, a glass of wine beside the saltwater swimming pool or in the gazebo enjoying the serenity. Sharpen up your short game at our all-weather golf chipping/putting green complete with a couple of sand traps. Marvel at the spectacular sunsets and clear, romantic starry skies, take intimate walks among whispering Casuarinas. …. relax in your own spa bath, or in winter just curl up by the fireside.

Neighbourhood information

In the heart of the Hunter Valley, Hermitage Road Wine and Food Trail boasts some of the most awarded Hunter Valley wines and no less than six James Halliday 5 star rated wineries.
