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. Pets: Pets are welcome at this property on completion of the below standard pet regulations in writing finalised prior to arrival: Guests supply pet bedding, food bowls & disposable waste bags. Pets are strictly prohibited from being on any furniture, rugs, carpeted areas, beds & bedding/linen inside & outside the property. At no time are pets to be left alone, locked inside a property. Your pet must remain in your possession at all times. Guests bring pets at their own risk understanding we can commit to the validity of fencing, access to natural waterways, rural properties pest control with chemicals and surrounding neighbours pets or livestock. A Bond will be charged for any damage caused by pets and any non-adherence of the pet regulations. 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 is 1 external security camera installed at this location presently but the owner reserves the right at any time to install additional external cameras at their discretion. Camera is positioned to view the front door area 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: Internet access ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Free firewood - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Single level property - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Golfing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### 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 ![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 $906 CA $906 total includes taxes & fees Oct 27 - Oct 28 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=48554101&PinnedHotelID=48554101&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34460000/34457600/34457535/a3e40eba.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Vintage Chateau 12 Hunter Valley Rothbury - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 32 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-06&endDate=2025-11-07&selected=34457535&PinnedHotelID=34457535&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88760000/88755800/88755767/b74820ba.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### CASA BARNHILL - THE VINTAGE HOLIDAY HOUSES POKOLBIN - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-06&endDate=2025-11-07&selected=88755767&PinnedHotelID=88755767&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Microwave, oven, stovetop, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109620000/109618700/109618648/93a05a57.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Anzac Cottage – A Pet-Friendly Escape with Games Room, Minutes from Wineries Cessnock - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-06&endDate=2025-11-07&selected=109618648&PinnedHotelID=109618648&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Microwave, oven, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95840000/95838700/95838694/b5b13c07.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Martha's Homestead - A relaxing Lovedale getaway Lovedale - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-06&endDate=2025-11-07&selected=95838694&PinnedHotelID=95838694&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![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 $1,587 CA $1,587 total includes taxes & fees Oct 29 - Oct 30 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-29&endDate=2025-10-30&selected=116024523&PinnedHotelID=116024523&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/24000000/23620000/23610300/23610241/978568c4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Glandore Vineyard Homestead.

Apr 7, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very happy Great property, central to everything. All amenities that we needed the property had. ##### Jack C. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Rebecca M. Jan 5, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing property and excellent location. The house was located rather central only 15 minutes drive to woolies and coles. 7 minutes drive to restaurants and locally owned shops The property itself was clean, spacious and had an amazing view of grass fields and some vineyards with kangaroos hopping across the backyard. We did however not have enough cleaning supplies, no broom or vacuum cleaner to clean the floor and we also ran out of dishwashing tablets, tried to reach out to the owner and had no response. Other than that such a beautiful stay and home, would most definitely book again. ##### Rebecca M. ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 13, 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness The website description of the place is a little misleading as it is described as a 4 bedroom dwelling that sleeps 8. whilst it does sleep 8 it is split into 3 separate self-contained flats, meaning there is no living or dining for 8 people to use together. We arrived at 3.30pm only to find that the rooms had not yet been cleaned. There weren't ready until well after 5pm. A BBQ would be a nice feature, particularly for summertime weekends. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2020
