Originally an old miner's cottage, Schatzi's on Shalimah is a fully renovated two bedroom cottage. It is set up as a quiet couple's weekender however the second bedroom can be made available at a small extra cost for a small group seeking a Hunter getaway. The large yard is fully enclosed with lovely lawns and shading trees for both pets and owners to while away their time when not busy sampling the wares of the many nearby wineries. A newly installed deck offers additional living space and a lovely spot to relax with a beverage of choice. The backyard has fencing ranging from 150-180cm high. We have made it as dog-proof as possible but if your dog is a determined digger or jumper this may not necessarily hold them. Inside The cottage has all the mod cons including luxuriously appointed bathroom with heating and spa bath and includes a European laundry. The kitchen is well fitted out and includes fridge, microwave, electric oven, gas cooktop and even an espresso machine! Coffee plunger, other electrical items and a variety of quality pots, pans and utensils sets you up for a stay of any length. In the evening the lounge is a cosy space with reverse cycle air con, large LCD TV, DVD player and CD player. Open the blinds and the 4m sliding doors open up a whole new space and vista with a large deck barbeque and dining setting complete with swing seats for a quirky taste of the Caribbean. Both rentable bedrooms (there's a 3rd bedroom which is not accessible to guests) have queen beds, wardrobes/storage space and reverse-cycle air con as well as pedestal fans for simple air-flow. Pets Well behaved pets are most welcome both in the large yard and also in the house. There is no limit on size or number however all pet parents are expected to pick up all faeces from the yard and to ensure that pets don't toilet in the house. Pets must be supervised at all times (even if you bring Dogga's own bed, being left in a strange house is very stressful) or they can be left in the yard or within the Doggy Space. This space is the bathroom us the Small hall space outside of the bathroom. When at home with your pets, please ensure that the throws provided are used to protect the furniture. All dogs will want to 'plump up the couch's by scratching at it and it's your job to ensure that they don't. Having Dogga Parents who are thoughtful and respectful enables us to continue to have pets in the cottage with their family Location A lovely park is just a minute's walk away with Vincent Street (the hub of the town) within 5 minutes walk. Here you can enjoy breakfast or just a coffee at one of the many dog friendly cafes. A range of pubs and restaurants, also in walking distance, have a fabulous array of food with some venues also offering music on weekends. East Cessnock Bowling Club is literally at the end of the street but with surprisingly little impact on guests at Schatzi's. Walks around the area are peaceful and pretty, even though in town we have fields very close by where Kangaroos can often be seen, especially in the warmer months. The neighbourhood Our neighbours have been there long before we bought our lovely cottage and they are lovely, friendly and helpful but will be respectful of your space and privacy. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Jetted bathtub - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - LCD TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 4 pets total (up to 22 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Cycling nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/9000000/8350000/8340200/8340163/794a202c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### H Boutique Hotel Pokolbin - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Laundry 9.2 Wonderful 659 reviews CA $142 CA $156 total includes taxes & fees Oct 27 - Oct 28 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=8340163&PinnedHotelID=8340163&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/4000000/3950000/3949600/3949508/cde506a6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hunter Hideaway Cottages North Rothbury - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Air conditioning 8.2 Very good 70 reviews CA $219 CA $219 total includes taxes & fees Oct 6 - Oct 7 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-06&endDate=2025-10-07&selected=3949508&PinnedHotelID=3949508&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99480000/99478600/99478544/2150c7a8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Florence Cottage, 10 minutes from Hunter Valley Vineyards.

Both the owner and the manager were excellent in communication and so easy to get in touch with. This is a true pet friendly place with a huge secure yard, the minimal rules that apply to staying there with dogs are very sensible and not a lot different from what I would do at home. If you are considering visiting this beautiful area with your dogs I would definitely recommend this place. ##### Claudia L. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2024
