Stayed at the Ironbark vineyard Cottage, absolutely perfect.
2 nights wasn't enough so had to extend for a extra night, Jane was a great host. Will be back for sure. Highly recommended.

Just slightly out of the way, but that is how I like it. Quiet, comfortable and spotless and extremely well kept, chatty and helpful owners, right on the Great North Walk. if you want somewhere not in a town as I do, you'll not find better for the very reasonable cost.

I was only able to stay the one night in Brown Muir Cottage, as part of my hike along the Great North Walk (which essentially runs through the property, so couldn't be more convenient). The Cottage exceeded my expectations in pretty much every way and the on site owners were very friendly and helpful. Everything was clean, there were plenty of supplies and quite a few little extras as well. It would be a great base from which to explore the area further. The booking communication was also very well handled by Jane from Hunter Valley Escapes.
