About the host
Hosted by Camilla
Hello, I'm Camilla, and together with my family I'd love to welcome you to Prana Cottage.
Prana Estate was born from a dream of creating a place where people can slow down, reconnect with nature and simply breathe. After leaving a fast-paced corporate career, we made the tree change to the beautiful Hunter Valley in search of a more meaningful way of living. What we found was something truly special—a peaceful corner of the world where the soundtrack is birdsong, the night skies are filled with stars, and wildlife roams freely.
Our family shares this beautiful property with kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, wedge-tailed eagles and more than 80 species of native birds. We also have our much-loved free-ranging chickens, gardens and a deep appreciation for the simple joys of country life.
As someone passionate about wellbeing, I also offer optional guided meditation, breathwork and Emotion Code® sessions for guests wishing to enhance their stay and experience a deeper sense of relaxation and renewal.
Whether you're here to explore the Hunter Valley's renowned wineries and restaurants, attend a concert, enjoy a creative retreat, or simply escape the busyness of everyday life, I hope you'll leave feeling refreshed, inspired and a little more connected to nature than when you arrived.
Thank you for choosing Prana Cottage. I look forward to sharing this special place with you.
Warmly, Camilla
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this part of the Hunter Valley because it offers something that's becoming increasingly rare—true peace and quiet.
Away from the crowds, this beautiful pocket of the valley is where nature takes centre stage. The days begin with the unmistakable chorus of bellbirds, wildlife roams freely across the landscape, and the evenings end beneath some of the clearest star-filled skies you'll ever see.
We love that we're surrounded by rolling countryside, native bushland and an incredible diversity of birdlife, yet still only a short drive from some of Australia's finest wineries, award-winning restaurants and world-class concert venues. Our favourite local gem is Bistro Molines, just 10 minutes away, where exceptional food is paired with breathtaking views over the vineyards.
For us, this area offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Whether you're exploring the region or simply sitting on the verandah listening to the sounds of the bush, it's a place that encourages you to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with nature.
What makes this property unique
Prana Cottage offers something that's becoming increasingly rare—a genuine opportunity to disconnect from the pace of everyday life and reconnect with nature.
Nestled on our peaceful family-owned estate, every window frames views of bushland, paddocks or tranquil dams. Wake to the sound of bellbirds instead of traffic, watch kangaroos and wallabies graze nearby, and keep an eye out for wombats, wedge-tailed eagles and more than 80 species of native birds that call Prana Estate home.
While the cottage feels wonderfully secluded, you're still only a short drive from the Hunter Valley's renowned wineries, restaurants, concert venues and our favourite local dining experience, Bistro Molines.
For those seeking something extra, optional guided meditation, breathwork and Emotion Code® sessions are also available by prior arrangement, offering guests the chance to make their stay even more restorative.
Whether you're visiting for a romantic escape, a family getaway, a creative retreat or simply a weekend to breathe deeply and unwind, Prana Cottage offers a peaceful experience where nature does the talking and every stay is an invitation to exhale.
