DOGS
We will allow small dogs or well behaved dogs onto the property. There is a $30 charge per dog (max 2) No puppies allowed.

Just a couple of things you need to know and this is more a disclaimer on our part.

We face an open dam which sometimes has kangaroos -- dogs and kangaroos do not mix well. Also there can be the occasional snake, particularly in the summer months just for your info.

The driveway goes onto an open road where there is a part that is not fenced. There is no fence down to the paddock and creek, so may not be ideal if your dog likes to roam.

LOCATION
Around a two hour journey from Sydney and just over 60 minutes from Newcastle, the Broke Fordwich area is in the southwest corner of the mid Hunter Valley. Sitting between Pokolbin and Wollombi, Broke played a critical role in the development and history of NSW.

Next door to boutique vineyards and near the olive farms of Broke, 10 minutes to the heart of Pokolbin for the best wine tasting and restaurants in NSW. For the golf enthusiasts, two of the best and most challenging golf courses in Australia (the Vintage and Cypress Lakes). Also near great Wedding Venues such as Adams Peak , Starline Alpacas and Margan..
Broke Village stands at the base of the Brokenback and Hunter Ranges on the Wollombi Brook. The massive Yellow Rock escarpment stands guard above. The Ranges shelter Broke Fordwich from much of the rainfall that the surrounding districts receive. The area has a sandy loam with river flat alluvial soil, volcanic soil and pockets of red basalt giving wine producers a variety of soil types known as terra rossa.

Today, more than a quarter of the Hunter’s wine grape production now comes from the area and Broke Fordwich wines are winning more than their fair share of national and international awards.

Importantly, Broke Fordwich retains it’s integrity as a rural community remaining free of large scale development, yet offering first class B&B and self catering accommodation, restaurants and activities. Visitors to the area are surprised by the amount of wildlife they see.

My 30th Birthday in Broke
We stayed at this property with a group of 20 to celebrate my 30th. Hunter Moon Country House was perfect! We all had plenty of space for sleeping and the layout of the house made it a dream of entertaining! We had a long lunch on the back deck which was already set up and decorated for us. The back lawn area was perfect to run around and play games which were provided my Colette and Mick. The spa was great in the evenings and we even managed to cool it down during the day as it was a very warm weekend. I would highly recommend the Hunter Moon Country House, Broke as an area and Colette and Mick as hosts. We will be back and encourage everyone to check this place out :)

Absolutely beautiful house in Broke
This is an amazing and beautiful house in Broke to stay at. Wonderfully located close to the great wineries of Broke. The house itself is decorated very beautifully and the house easily accommodates a large group. The owners are very easy to deal with and ensure you have a great stay.

About the host

Hosted by Colette Houtzaager

Host profile image
My husband and I have been managing holiday properties of our own both in Australia and Spain for nearly 10 years.

Why they chose this property

We loved the area and boutique vineyards and restaurants away from some of the busier parts of the Hunter Valley. Yet still just over 2 hours from Sydney.

What makes this property unique

We loved our first house Cicada so we put a second house on the property so we could rent to holiday groups. Hunter Moon was purposely built with many touches to make a large group comfortable rather than taking an existing home and making it trying to fit to large groups. We added second wing added in July , 2018 which will take a larger group. We have made it feel very private and beautiful views across the dam to the mountains.
