Fabulous to have you stay Jess and we can't wait to welcome you back for another girls weekend, Hunter Valley Stays
Love the cottage and the pool. Comfortable beds and room for us all to sit and hang. Didn’t love the spiders. I know this property was is in the bush but perhaps getting the place sprayed would eliminate that issue. Also there were a lot of webs inside higher up that need to be cleared, a couple lights were not working and there was a leak in the roof. Overall we had a wonderfully relaxing stay and would return to this property.

Cant's Cottage was in a beautiful location. It was great to have the loft with so many beds as we could all get together at once. Pool was great and nice and clean.

We had a very enjoyable weekend, tasting the local wines and some excellent food. The cottage has all the right ingredients for a great get together with commanding views over the valley. Four bars on your mobile and groovy Coffs just five minutes away in Broke if that’s important. Enjoy !

A large group of friends stayed in Cants Cottage. The house itself was excellent, clean and the beds very comfortable, plenty of people able to sleep in the loft. The kitchen was well equipped. Broke and surrounds were very pretty, nice a close to the wineries, and also a trip to Wollombi was well worth it. Lovely peaceful surroundings, and Betty the owner was very welcoming.

For once here is an example of where the real thing is even better than the pictures. The pictures of this property really do not do it justice. It is so beautiful and homely it really has such a wonderful feel to it and the queen bed upstairs is one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in!! Spent the night before my wedding here with all my girlfriends but looking forward to spending my anniversary here too!!
Nice cosy cottage, gets a bit cold in winter but there's a nice fireplace to warm you up. Partner had a bit of trouble with asthma due to smoke from fireplace and dust on the last night. Maybe an air purifier would help here.
Nice location and great roads to drive around in Hunter Valley. All in all was a great place to stay and Betty was a lovely host.
Had 8 people stay and we all were comfortable and had a good time. Great reception if you're on Telstra as well.

Good Location - Old & Dated
The whole house needs attention. Its dated and needs a great overhaul. The showerhead fell on my sons head. The dust under the lounges looks like it's been there for a decade.
It was raining when we arrived and the waterfall that was between the carport and the house was shocking. The guttering needs some serious attention.

Hi Sakina. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review from your stay. We always welcome any feedback, of any kind, from our guests and your feedback is highly valued to us - we have shared your review in full with the owner for them and their maintenance team to address.

We would like to welcome you back at any time, as a valued guest so please contact us personally so we can find you a more appropriate property that meets the style that you were seeking. Kind regards, Hunter Valley Stays.
Cant's Cottage was a fantastic place to stay for myself and 9 of my friends. The location is absolutely perfect. The pool is fantastic and the loft bedroom was a heap of fun for a group of chatty girls to talk well into the night. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay around the area. Thanks for your hospitality Betty. 😊

So pleased that you enjoyed those gorgeous views and we hope that you'll come and stay with us again soon. With thanks from the Team at Hunter Valley Stays.
We had an amazing stay here and will definitely be back again and again. Betty the owner made sure we had everything we needed when we arrived. The house is exactly as described and looks the same as the pictures. We are just a family of 4 but the house can easily accommodate 2 families. The pool was great and clean and the kids spent most of the daylight in there. The kitchen was we stocked well pots and pans plus utensils and basic foods for cooking like salt, pepper, oil, sauces, milk, bacon and eggs. Beds were very comfortable and air-conditioning worked very well. Phone and internet reception was surprisingly good, we are with Optus. Expectations for staying here should be classic country cottage with beautiful views over the valley. Highly recommended!

- photos do not fit description
- dam full of septic water
- pool was green (not useable)
- ants all over the house
- landscaping was very untidy
- house a lot smaller than depicted
- definitely not suitable for 12 people
- property manager extremely rude
- police officer lives next door (first thing owner said)
- were told to turn music off, music was low already
- owner lives 20m from the property (not mentioned in description)
- upon arrival we were told to be mindful of water usage, how are 12 people supposed to shower? ; again not explained in the description.
- ended up leaving and staying at the Crowne Plaza (which I highly, recommend)

Hi Natasha
Thank you for your review which we were not surprised to receive given the circumstances and outcome of your stay.
As Property Managers, we have had the pleasure of hosting more than 35,000 guests in the Hunter Valley and have only had cause to evict three groups in the past 5 years, one being yours.
It’s always disappointing when guests take the opportunity to place a negative review on social media when the negative experience has only been from their own stay and behaviour. The other reviews correctly share and clearly state how popular Cants Cottage is for guests, many of whom return year after year. These reviews also share the positive experience guests encounter with the caring and charming owner on arrival, who does live on site in her own private residence, more than 50metres from the guest accommodation. Furthermore, these reviews complement our management towards guests.
The Property Manager attended the property because there were great concerns following your check in when two vehicles arrived, one with intoxicated guests followed by a delivery vehicle with a large inflatable structure which was not requested or approved. The structure was not only installed without permission but was also placed by the supplier in a very unsafe location which, if used by the guests, would have been dangerous. After trying to have a polite and rational discussion with you, with the request to deflate the structure, you replied that you had not read the conditions of stay and that we had ruined your party. The Property Manager and subsequently the Owner were then verbally abused by several guests who chose to hurl extremely colourful, disrespectful language from A to F in the alphabet in aggressive tones. This was totally unwarranted, shocking, and unacceptable when you are guests in a private home. It was a situation where we were left with no choice but ask that you leave and also inform our local police of the issue.
Despite the Oscar winning performance from you and your guests Natasha, you failed to mention that after this unnecessary and totally unwarranted behaviour, we continued to extend goodwill ,and knowing you would need to find somewhere to stay, without hesitation, we provided you with a full refund so that you and your guests could find accommodation elsewhere.
You also failed to mention that you and your guests continued to abuse both the Property Manager and Owner as you departed, yelling vulgarities, finger gesturing, threatening to write further negative reviews and flashing your body parts all the way down the driveway and even onto the main road. Our expectations of our guests are clearly explained in our Terms & Conditions and so disappointingly, we experienced a total disregard for basic manners and even the personal safety of yourself or your friends.
To address your comments regarding the property and provide clarity for others, no septic water is ever part of guest use, or consumption during stay. The Cottage’s location is set on a hillside in a natural bushland setting, so apologies that our native landscape seemed to be 'very untidy’ and that there were ants in the house which does happen on occasion. The property is spacious with a huge loft bedroom and ample photography and floorplans are provided to clearly demonstrate the space on offer to our guests.
We are in the business of providing happy, relaxed and enjoyable holidays in beautiful accommodation and welcome all appreciating guests. The circumstance surrounding your occupancy of the property did not permit this and unfairly, the title and description of your review in no way reflects the warm hospitality that Cants Cottage along with our professional management has offered thousands of guests staying at this wonderful property for more than a decade.
Thank you,
Property Manager and Owner Hunter Valley Stays
