This house was perfect for our few nights away with another family. We especially enjoyed the pool, air hockey table, bikes, pool table and the comfortable accommodation close to the many fun activities and great dining places. There were a few small maintenance issues. But overall a great place to stay.

Great stay

Perfect stay for our group of eight interstate visitors :) Great communication from property management, gorgeous accommodation with excellent cleanliness. When we weren't visiting wineries, we had plenty to do using the pool, pool table, air hockey table, gorgeous spacious lounge room, games cupboard etc. Also has a lovely view of the golf course.

Great weekend and very comfortable house and the beds were great. Everything catered for our family

Great property and large enough for us all. The kitchen and enormous table and chairs were so great for us all and the sitting room comfy. We enjoyed the barbecue one night and cooked on the oven and stove top the other night. Very quiet and clean and would recommend the house for a large group. Thank you

Hunter Valley Stay

Overall this house was really nice! I would strongly recommend staying here. The agent was great to deal with and very responsive. The house was clean and exactly as we expected. Everything was awesome, including the small touches including all the cooking utensils and bed linen.. it made the whole experience great. Thank you!

Perfect birthday getaway

This house was the perfect location to spend my 30th birthday weekend with my family and friends. Unfortunately the creek behind smells really bad at times that you can’t even be out in the pool area and the house did have quite a lot of German cockroaches and bugs/spiders around. Besides that we had an excellent stay. The house is very spacious and well maintained. Great location right in the heart of the Hunter also and we loved that we were able to use the hotel facilities too. Thankyou

Fab home for groups in the Hunter

Stayed at Chateau Caliza with 2 families of 4 and the grandparents and there was space galore for all of us! Loved the heated pool, pool table, outdoor setting, big 10 seater kitchen table and views out over the golf course. Great having 3 King size beds for all the couples. Photos of the property are just like being there. Location in Pokolbin is great - just down the road from Hunter Valley Gardens and General Store. Only note is bottom bunk is low in height, so better for kids under 5. This is our new go to model of holiday house for all extended family trips from now on. See you again for our next Hunter group trip!

The house is excellent for groups of families as there are many different spaces to hang out in. The bunk bed room upstairs with the TV was great for the younger kids.
