Lovedale Cottages Hunter Valley

My partner and I visited lovedale cottages for her birthday for a 2 night weekend stopover. We had a lovely time. It is my 4th visit to the cottages and it was how I remembered. On arrival you are greeted with a key in the door and a fire lit and warming the cottage for you. Also a breakfast hamper was supplied and in the fridge ready to cook up bacon, eggs, toast, juice and other necessities. We had been out for lunch and just looking forward to relaxing for our 2 night stay, enjoying the open fire and spa bath, watching the olympics on tv and playing a board game or 2. On our second day we played tennis and golf (there is a small golf course on the property) which was a bit of fun. There is a heated pool also but we opted not to bother with that considering we had our own spa bath in the cabin. The only thing that let us down was that it was freezing at night and the fire was warming but unfortunately it just didn't keep us as warm as we had hoped and think maybe the cottage lacks a bit in insulating. The electric blankets on the bed were great though and the bed was comfy and everything was neat and clean. We had a great break away from reality. Thanks again Paul and Rosie for your hospitality.

Charming, clean, affordable, private and perfect for a large gathering. There is something for everybody - in beautiful surroundings. A series of rustic cottages, with old world charm decor, a swimming pool, a small bush golf course, larger entertaining areas and close to all the wineries, and local produce. The cottages were spacious, beds were comfy and most, if not all the cottages had spa baths. We also were provided bacon and eggs, milk, bread, juice, tea & coffee and cereal provided. There is nothing they haven’t thought of. We had a great few days with 30 family (but they could have fit more) and friends, and it was a hoot. Thanks so much to Paul and Rosie - perfect hosts, they worked with us all the way through to ensure a great price, room allocations etc. We would love to come back again. Dave and Cathy Robinson

The cottage was well equipped with all you need including a fabulous selection for breakfast. Having a cuppa on the veranda watching the sunrise through the trees is serene. The cottage has a selection of books to read while relaxing. A morning walk around the property on the golf course is stunning. The owners dog may even join you for a walk. Totally private and peaceful.
