Luxury Rustic Cottage in Hunter Valley
About
The Cottage is a two-bedroom country house on our working cattle farm in Broke, on the tranquil side of the Hunter Valley. Our family has hosted guests here since 2014. Two king bedrooms with their own ensuites sit at opposite ends of the house, so it suits two couples as well as it does one. A wood fire, a fully stocked kitchen, an undercover outdoor dining area, and 74 hectares of paddocks with Yellow Rock on the horizon. Slow weekends, big skies, real country.

Other Details to Note
A few honest things worth knowing before you book: The last stretch of road in is dirt. It's fine in any car, no 4WD needed. This is a working cattle farm, so there are cattle, farm machinery, working dogs and the occasional bit of dust and weather. That's the point of the place, but it's worth saying. Children are welcome. A portacot and high chair are available on request. No pets. It's a working cattle farm with working dogs. There are steps and some uneven ground, and the Cottage is not wheelchair accessible. If you have specific access needs, contact us before booking and we'll give you an honest picture. There are no laundry facilities, which suits the two-to-four-night stays most guests book. Wi-Fi is free and works, but the night sky is worth switching off for. Minimum stay is two nights. Long weekends and holiday periods can carry a three-night minimum.
