A very comfortable, well appointed cottage set among gum trees and close to cafes and wineries. Our dog enjoyed sitting on the veranda gazing into space. The breakfast goodies and wine was most appreciated.

Lovely tranquil spot in the bush with a great outlook and kangaroos and birds a plenty. Good location where you can walk to nearby wineries and a brewhouse. Needs a new aircon in the bedroom but adequate and the outside BBQ has seen better days, the kitchen needs a decent cheese board and knives and a champagne stopper would go astray, we usually bring our own so we were prepared, other that that we will definitely be back. Loved the ambience.

Best dog friendly accommodation in the Hunter

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay. We have stayed in the Hunter with our dog a few times and this place is by far the best. Plenty of space for the dog to safely roam around and it’s within walking distance of a number of dog friendly wineries and breweries. Clean, comfortable, great host, easy check in process and a perfect location. What more could you ask for!

Lovely place to stay - Hermitage Road is a great location for some smaller wineries, so we did't need to stray far. Property had all that we needed, and some lovely serenity among the trees and kangaroos. Many thanks.

Wonderful, pet friendly getaway

We stayed here for 3 nights and did not want to leave. Great location in the heart of numerous vineyards. The place was immaculate with lovely décor and quite spacious. Great for meals and drinks on the verandah overlooking the bush. Our dog was in his element. Highly recommend this place for a short or longer stay.

Such a peaceful way to start the year

My husband and I stayed at Lilly Pilly over New Years, with our dog Nova. It was such a peaceful way to start the new year. We bbq’d dinner on the deck where we listened to the birds and crickets, and even saw some kangaroos laying in the shade. The wineries are nice and close, and the cottage has everything you need, including breakfast provisions and a bottle of their beautiful wine. We loved being able to bring our dog with us, she loved it too! We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful stay in the Hunter valley.

The better option. Clean, comfortable, spacious, private and totally relaxing

We were greeted by croaking frogs on arrival and grazing kangaroos on waking. Our spacious cottage was very clean, tidy and comfortable. We particularly loved relaxing on the back verandah for meals, admiring the beauty of the surrounding trees and nature. We appreciated the host’s generous breakfast provisions. This is definitely the better option to a hotel/motel room.
