Boasting a thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom house with two separate living areas, along with a separate 1-bedroom studio, Kookaburra Range comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests, making it an ideal haven for families and groups seeking refuge in nature's embrace. The spacious layout includes four generously sized bedrooms, dual living zones, and a wrap-around verandah with northern exposure, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. An air-conditioned studio with its own kitchen and bathroom provides added flexibility for guests. The property features four dams, including a central one, offering a serene backdrop for relaxation and reflection. While the dam adds to the scenic beauty of the estate, swimming is prohibited due to safety concerns. For those with a penchant for adventure, Kookaburra Range offers convenient access to nearby attractions, including the gateway to Wine Country and the stunning Brokenback Range, visible from the property's ridge. The Important Stuff - This is a 3-4 bedroom home offering bedding up to 10 guests. Note: The studio will only be open to bookings of more than 7 guests. Pricing will reflect this. Bedroom 1 - Queen Bedroom 2 - Queen Bedroom 3 - Queen Studio - Bedroom 4 - King only available for groups of 7 guests and more Double sofa bed - only available for 9 guests and more. How We Price: The booking price is based on a minimum number of guests. Any guests above this number are chargeable on a per person/per night rate. The system will automatically calculate the correct rate when you enter the required number of guests. Reductions in guest numbers are non-refundable. Arrival Details: Access to the property is made simple. You’ll receive an access code via SMS just before 3pm on your arrival day, which you’ll use for the duration of your stay. Standard check-in is at 3pm. While an earlier arrival may be possible, it cannot be confirmed until the afternoon prior to your arrival. If an earlier check-in is available, we will send you an SMS by 4pm the day before to confirm. Linen: 1 set of full bed linens and 1 bath towel per person are supplied. Guests may wish to bring extra towels depending on the length of their stay. Pool/Lake/Beach towels are BYO Guest Amenities: We are Eco-Friendly - to help reduce wastage, we supply a single bottle of 3in1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash in all showers. In addition, guests are advised to bring their own personal preferred bathroom products/amenities. Wifi is provided complimentary on behalf of the owner. It is intended to be used in an appropriate manner by all guests. As the service is provided by an external 3rd party, Weekenda cannot and do not guarantee the speed or efficacy of this property's wifi connection nor do we pay any compensation for interruption of service for any reason. Pools: If the property has a Swimming Pool then it will be opened for swimming for the start of the NSW September School Holidays and closed and Winterised immediately after the NSW Easter School Holidays have been completed. Fires and Firewood: Internal wood fireplaces and outdoor fire pits only operate after the NSW Easter School Holidays up to before the NSW September School Holidays in line with NSW state fire restrictions. Please note: we will normally supply enough firewood, kindling & fire-starters for between 1-2 nights of your stay. For guests wishing to have additional fires, we suggest BYO Firewood, Kindling, and Starters which can be easily purchased from the local service stations. No Party Policy: All reservations operate under a Strict No-Party & Non-Excessive Noise Policy as prescribed in the NSW Short-Term Letting Legislation and Local Council Laws. 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. Cameras and Noise Monitoring: There are 3 external security cameras installed at this location presently but the owner reserves the right at any time to install additional external cameras at their discretion. Cameras are positioned to view driveway, front entry, gate and dam areas for external security monitoring only. All cameras are installed in line with local regulations. A noise monitoring device is installed - fines apply to guests found to have disconnected, removed or damaged the noise device. These devices are used to monitor and maintain ours and guests responsibilities under the NSW STR Code of Conduct. Guest Registration / ID Check : Weekenda requires every guest to complete and sign an electronic guest registration prior to arrival which will ask for photo ID i.e. a copy of your Drivers Licence or Passport. The primary booker will also be required to complete a list with the guests 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 - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### 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 - Eco-friendly toiletries - Garden ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/30000000/29490000/29484100/29484054/4e38e281.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Parson's Vineyard Retreat - get amongst the vineyards in a historic home Rothbury - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 20 reviews CA $772 CA $772 total includes taxes & fees Sep 29 - Sep 30 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-09-29&endDate=2025-09-30&selected=29484054&PinnedHotelID=29484054&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/46000000/45440000/45430100/45430027/74a53963.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kelman Cottage - tucked away with pool + views + native wildlife Lower Belford - Pool - Air conditioning - Parking available - Laundry 10 Exceptional 25 reviews CA $847 CA $847 total includes taxes & fees Oct 13 - Oct 14 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-13&endDate=2025-10-14&selected=45430027&PinnedHotelID=45430027&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48560000/48554200/48554101/66dc8974.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Angophora @ The Vintage - Wifi + walk to Bimbadgen and Vintage Resort Rothbury - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Parking available 8.4 Very good 21 reviews CA $1,023 CA $1,023 total includes taxes & fees Oct 6 - Oct 7 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-06&endDate=2025-10-07&selected=48554101&PinnedHotelID=48554101&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34620000/34617700/34617672/1ed7c55f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Valley View Cottage & Acres Hunter Valley Wine Region Pokolbin - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 94 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=34617672&PinnedHotelID=34617672&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102370000/102363500/102363420/35fb80c2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Heavenly Hideaway at Lovedale with Private Pool and Spa Allandale - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 5 reviews CA $1,318 CA $1,318 total includes taxes & fees Oct 27 - Oct 28 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=102363420&PinnedHotelID=102363420&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.
