Farm Stay

We loved staying at Hunter Valley Retreat, kids and adult both enjoyed being so close to animals and feeding them. Eloise is a very warm and welcoming host and we all loved how much time she takes out to ensure you get close to animals. Its a beautiful spot

Great location, quiet place and a beautiful vintage style cottage

Overall we had a fantastic experience, the place was very cosy, comfortable and beautiful. The host also very responsive and helpful as we lost the power and they had fixed it with less than 5 minutes. Price wise was also reasonably cheap for the long weekend stay.

Great stay

Great short stay. The house has everything you need. Kitchen essentials needs to be upgraded and cleanliness of property was poor. Overall had a good stay with my husband and 5 kids. Very remote and private property which we loved.

Great stay and service

Eloise and Troy were the best hosts you could ask for. We had a blackout and within 20mins, they were able to get it fixed and the house was up running. The most gorgeous cabin to stay in with great facilities and not too far from the wineries either. Definitely recommending this to all my friends!

Amazing location and perfect for a retrest

Communication from Eloise was great from booking date to end of the stay. The property was clean and in a great location, the retreat is a great place to stay to escape the city and enjoy nature. The facilities were amazing and we had no issues with our stay. Thank you Eloise! xx
