This property is in a Residential Area. Failure to comply can put the security bond into jeopardy and may lead to police-assisted eviction and/or extra charges being levied. We hate to have to note this but the reality is that so far this year we have had to evict 3 groups for overstacking/bad/anti-social behavior. Extra Guests / Visitors: The number of people nominated on your booking is the maximum number of people that are allowed to be on the property at any one time, including visitors. Visitors may be requested and if approved must be approved in writing with Weekenda staff. Simply put, if Mum and Dad want to come over for a BBQ then we are likely to approve. If 10 extra people want to stop by we are unlikely to approve, which could put your booking at risk. We will always try to be reasonable with reasonable people within property constraints and House Rules.

The primary booker will also be required to complete a list with the guest's names and actual mobile numbers. In the event we are unable to reach the primary booker, it is very important we can get a hold of other guests. These documents will be deleted after your departure. Access Codes are only released to Registered and Verified Guests. Critical Update: Due to an unprecedented influx of fraudulent bookings, we are forced to impose a policy that protects our clients, industry and community against those attempting to commit fraud and theft. Any booking made within 5 days of arrival is required to provide a photo of a valid credit card in the same full name of the primary guest to match the supplied identification document. Failure of these documents matching will result in the booking being cancelled and all funds processed returned to the original card assumed as stolen and thus a fraudulent transaction. We trust we have our honest and genuine customers understanding this policy is in place to protect all parties. Insurance: As always, but ever so more due to recent times, we strongly encourage any holidaymakers to obtain a very inexpensive 3rd Party Domestic Travel Insurance Policy to cover you for all manners of matters which may restrict travel. This is particularly helpful for things like Hunter Valley Concert cancellations, Covid or Medical and Other Emergencies for which we don't provide refunds, and anything which falls under our standard Terms & Conditions irrespective of the reason. We suggest reviewing policies with 'Cover-More' or 'Travel Insurance Direct' or 'Insureandgo' This property is managed by Weekenda, a licensed real estate. Weekenda staff are available 7 days a week to assist from your initial enquiry through to your departure and everything in between. We look forward to having you stay with us. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bathroom - 5 private bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Free firewood - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116030000/116024600/116024523/05d2f8c3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Blaxlands Kangaroo Homestead with Hot Tub walk to Concerts and Wineries Pokolbin - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer CA $1,385 CA $1,385 total includes taxes & fees Oct 6 - Oct 7 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-06&endDate=2025-10-07&selected=116024523&PinnedHotelID=116024523&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116600000/116598100/116598089/fa471b43.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mole Hill Farmhouse - Perfect Large Families Getaways Keinbah - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning CA $833 CA $833 total includes taxes & fees Oct 7 - Oct 8 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-07&endDate=2025-10-08&selected=116598089&PinnedHotelID=116598089&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102720000/102719900/102719830/4381eb39.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Relaxing stay in the heart of wine country Pokolbin - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=102719830&PinnedHotelID=102719830&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Microwave, oven, stovetop, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118080000/118079600/118079569/523746d8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mistletoe Lakehouse - stunning 5–6 bedroom residence set on 7 tranquil acres, Pokolbin - Pool - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=118079569&PinnedHotelID=118079569&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![6 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105710000/105700900/105700867/2a51dff0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Heart of Lovedale - Experience our charming pink home in Hunter Valley.
