About this property

Cosy two bedroom cottage in the centre of Pokolbin

Our cottage is an old style two bedroom weatherboard with a classic covered country style balcony on the Eastern and Northern side and with a recently renovated kitchen, bathroom and a cosy living/dining room to relax and watch TV or chill out after a busy day visiting the local attractions. The location is fantastic being minutes to Hunter Valley Gardens, Hope Estate, Roche and Bimbadgen and right next door to the gorgeous Italian Restaurant Pescara; very central and close if you are attending one of the many concerts in Pokolbin. It is about a five minute drive away from the Vintage Golf Resort & Spa and is surrounded by vineyards, restaurants, cafes and all of the attractions that have made the Hunter Valley Wine Region a favourite for visitors from around the globe.
We offer a very private, relaxing location, a comfortable fully self contained cottage but right in the heart of the action.
The cottage is the only rental accommodation on our property and shares the area up close to McDonalds Road with our fine art gallery, Watershed Gallery

We did not see the host but the entry instructions, The welcome provisions including a nice bottle of wine and the house itself were all very welcoming. The setting right next to the watershed Gallery but among a large area of open Woodland was delightful filled from dawn till dusk with Pleasant Birdsong . The house met all our needs very appropriately.

We absolutely love staying at Watershed's beautiful, blue cottage. Ron and Lyn are sensational hosts, extremely welcoming and supportive. Their Watershed Art Gallery is also located on the property which is a bonus.The property is in an excellent, central location. It is the perfect venue for a couple's weekend away or a trip with girlfiends. We cannot wait for a return visit!

Idyllic cottage in a great location close to lots of vineyards and restaurants. Very comfortable with everything we needed for our 2 night stay including pod coffee and breakfast staples. Beautifully fitted out with a lovely garden surrounding. The scent of the jasmine trailing over the verandah railing just perfected the atmosphere for an evening glass of wine. A lovely stay, thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Ron Hammond

Host profile image
We enjoyed 23 wonderful years raising our children, living and working in Collaroy in Sydney but we both felt that the time had come for a change of pace.
Art, wine and the Australian countryside combine in a wonderful way in Pokolbin and we have combined all three with the pleasure of providing accomodation on our 30 acre property in the heart of the vineyards.
Watershed Gallery is adjacent to the cottage and will provide an additional interest for guests visiting the region.
We want to provide an interesting experience for visitors and we are excited to be seeing our vision come to fruition.
