On arrival we found the house spotless the outside was clean and well maintained. The listing didn’t give an accurate. The house is so much more we felt at home as soon as we arrived. The kitchen is so well equipped with utensils, condiments coffee and so on. We were surprised as we had not stayed anywhere previously where we didn’t need to run out and buy things that were offered. The house is located on the edge of Cessnock so very close to wineries and Markets Golf courses and Cessnock itself for shoppingMark was very responsive right from when I booked. We didn’t have any questions as there was information supplied. Thank you Mark & Perry we do hope we have the opportunity to stay again.

Flamingo was an excellent property to stay close to the Hunter Valley attractions. The house was very clean and all needs were catered for. The property was a very good size and our two small dogs had a great time in the large back yard. We would recommend this prp to anyone wishing to visit the wineries and other attractions.

Just What we needed

Accommodation exactly as described. Additional surprises in the availability of condiments, Plastic wrap etc. There was absolutely nothing we needed that we couldn’t find. We had a dog with us - she loved running around the garden. And even here the host was thoughtful with dog bowls and toys! Many vineyards near the property and some are also dog friendly. Mark communicated really well with us and was a thoughtful host. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

A lovely return trip

This was our second stay at the flamingo house and it was just as lovely as the first stay. Check in was as easy as it can get. The property owner messages us to let us know the mulberry tree was in fruit and to help ourselves. The house was clean and tidy and despite having plenty of useful kitchen equipment and a good pantry could benefit from more cups/glasses. 5 mugs in a 6 sleeper house wasn’t quite sufficient. We would 100% come and stay here again and whilst we didn’t bring the dogs this time the large secure garden would have been perfect for them.
