Peace, tranquillity and a charming three-bedroom country cottage all to yourself. And only five minutes from some of the best boutique wineries in Australia.

Dairy Farm Cottage (on the site of an old dairy) is just 10 minutes from Cessnock, so the ‘real world’ is within easy reach. All the wonderful facilities the Hunter Valley has to offer, over a hundred cellar door wineries, internationally acclaimed golf courses, sensational restaurants and cafes, horse riding, 4WD trips, ballooning etc., are at your fingertips.

Yet your self-contained, fully-equipped cottage feels like it’s a million miles from all this activity and action. Relax on one of the wrap around verandahs with the paper or a good book, sipping on a cup of coffee or tea (or a glass of something a little stronger) while listening to the bellbirds calling across the valley or the cows providing some clues to the cottage’s history.

Or spend the day sampling award winning wines knowing your retreat ‘in the hills’ provides the perfect place to review (or continue) the day’s work. Something tasty on the barbeque with your favourite music piped to the outside deck and a glass of something delicious in your hand…..it doesn’t get much better than this.
