About this property

Historic Hunter Homestead - 28 acres private bushland

Looking to escape to the fresh country air? Just 2 hours drive from northern Sydney this sandstone homestead (built with 135 year old convict bricks) offers it all! Located just a few km from the historic village of Paterson in the Northern Hunter, immerse yourself in the privacy and quiet of 28 acres of private bushland to explore (you can bring the pets too!) There are amazing creeks and waterfalls on your doorstep to swim in during the hot summer months, and beautiful open fires to relax in front of on those cosy winter nights. Enjoy the quirky ‘loo with a view!’ Maitland is just 20 mins drive away with all the history, shopping, restaurants and facilities of a buzzing country town. Newcastle, Nelson Bay and beautiful beaches are just 1 hour away. The closest Hunter vineyards are just 13km away with the whole Hunter wine region to explore on a day trip! Relax at the end of the day watching the sunset with a wine on the verandah overlooking the beautiful ‘Tocal’ countryside! (We’re happy to be flexible with bookings and offer full refunds if bookings have to be cancelled due to Covid restrictions). Full
Amenities including coffee, tea, pantry items and toiletries are provided and a full linen service is available at a small extra cost

Lovely holiday house
Very good accommodation in a beautiful country location. Rooms are great, ample for our group of nine, and facilities generally good. We stayed last year for five nights over Xmas and did the same this year. Had a great time overall. Negatives are the cleanliness of things like saucepans, knives and some drawers, the amount of food left in fridge door and cupboards (some looks pretty old), and the bluntness of all the knives (knife sharpener would help). These things are readily fixable, which would make our rating a good four star. And thanks for the lovely Xmas decorations.

Great Stay
We rented the property for our Daughters wedding. It was ideal for all the people we had coming and going on the Saturday morning. Then after the wedding a couple of days were spent relaxing out on the veranda.

Great wedding Accommodation
We chose this property to stay for a family wedding. It was a perfect choice. The rooms are very spacious and well appointed. There was plenty light for the wedding party to have hair and make up done and photographs taken. The pantry staples are very generous, loads of coffee capsules and tea flavours to choose. The kitchen is well equipped with all kinds of appliances. It was a cold wet weekend but the heating worked well to make the whole house cosy. Highly recommend this property.
