Nestled amidst stunning scenery, the charming cottage provided a cozy haven with spacious bedrooms and modern amenities that made us feel right at home. The kids loved exploring the backyard during the day and unwinding with their favorite shows at night. A highlight was visiting the nearby Snow Time event at Hunter Valley Gardens, where the kids had a blast playing in the snow. Evenings were spent in the games shed, enjoying rounds of pool and darts. Gathering around the fire pit to roast marshmallows under the starlit sky was a favourite moment, filled with warmth and laughter. Conveniently located near local shops and eateries, we savoured exploring the area, creating lasting memories of laughter and adventure. ##### Martin H.
