Our group loved our stay at Rosecrea. Well set up for family/friend groups and kids. So much space for everyone, lots to do and a beautiful property to explore. It was always a nice surprise waking up to cows just beyond the fence each morning!

Perfect property
Roscrea had so much space both indoor and outdoor for all activities. Rooms were great, pool was fantastic and it was the perfect location to relax with no light, sound or distractions around. Something out of a novel.

Hello, Thank you for staying with Weekenda in the Hunter Valley. Hope you enjoyed the property and local wineries. Weekenda Team
We do an annual adults weekend away every year and this house has been our favourite so far. We had cooler weather but it was still so fun, with the large lawn space we played lots of sport games that was provided in a large games box. We loved how every couple had their own bathroom and the large dinning spaces and loads of seating. We will come back again for sure.

It cater for all of our needs from the pool to the bbq and the outdoor fire to the freezer with ice.
It was for a memorial service for my mother/grandmother and we had 3 generation staying at the house.
There was room for everyone inside and out.

Hi Jason,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re pleased to hear that the homestead catered to all your needs and provided a comfortable space for your family reunion and memorial service. It’s wonderful to know that three generations were able to enjoy the property together.
We hope to welcome you back in the future. Weekenda
This is the perfect house for groups, stunning views!
We were a group of families with our young children. This was the perfect house as each family had their own bathroom. We enjoyed the lawn, the breathtaking views, the well equipped kitchen and the multiple gathering spaces. The location is stunning. We had the best time and wish we could have stayed longer, but grateful for the late check out time. Hoping to book again soon.

Amazing!
This property was beyond our expectations in every way.
It rained the whole weekend but it certainly didn’t dampen our spirits. We all loved being together & hanging out around an indoor & out door fire.

Roscrea is a beautiful property. A perfect place to stay if you are looking for seclusion and a place to spend quality time with your family. Plenty of space for the multi - generational family. The property has open fire places for a winter stay and the bonus of a pool if staying during the summer. The house is so clean and well equipped. We would definitely recommend a stay at Roscrea and hope to return again soon. Thank you!

An absolute gem!
This was a last minute booking over the new year period and so glad we did book! What an amazing property!
Set in a very quiet and private surrounding with views you cannot get sick of, we loved everything about it.
Staying as 2 families, the house is well fitted out and spacious, fitting us all very comfortably. Having 8 kids amongst us, the pool was great and the trampoline and cubby house a bonus!
Overall a most enjoyable and memorable stay in the Hunter Valley! Highly recommend and we look forward to going back.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
The air conditioning wasn’t working in any of the rooms except for one bedroom and it was very uncomfortable.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. Comfort is our priority, and we’re disappointed we didn’t have the opportunity to address this while you were in-house, as Weekenda is available 24/7 to assist with any issues.
We inspected the air conditioning after your stay and would like to clarify that each bedroom is equipped with its own air conditioning unit and individual controls. During very warm weekends, when the temperature is set to very low levels (16–17°C), most systems struggle to reach that setting quickly. We completely understand the desire for a cooler environment, and we would have been happy to assist if contacted during your stay.
We hope you will give us the opportunity to host you again, and we’ll ensure your next stay is as comfortable as possible.
Kind regards,
The Team at Weekenda
A group of 9 old friends, all aged in their 60s or 70s, stayed here for three days. The property is well equipped and comfortable, with two different places for 9 people to eat together. We catered or ourselves for all meals ( and given the distance of the property from towns that is the only realistic alternative), but the facilities of the property were well able to cope with that. The area surrounding the homestead is attractive.. The photo of the pool suggests that it is larger than it really is, but that was not a concern for us.

Loved the location and peaceful atmosphere. But the house looks old and furniture faulty in some rooms. Living room curtains are hard to draw. We were not concerned much about those as they were not major issues. But the television is below standard. There should be a smart TV as people expect to have YouTube or other connection facilities these days. Kitchen was excellent and had all facilities. Overall it’s a nice place to stay if improved a little bit.
All of us enjoyed the stay.
Thanks and regards

The perfect family retreat for the young and old!
We recently stayed at Roscrea Estate for our family’s annual Christmas in July weekend. Every detail of this place has been well thought out, well maintained and comes with the most picturesque surrounds. The accommodation was very comfortable, with each of our 4 families enjoying the privacy of their own bedrooms and adjoining ensuites. We spent each day soaking up the winter’s sun on the full wrap around verandah while the children enjoyed the use of the trampoline, cubbyhouse, bikes and surrounding gardens. There was no need to venture away for meals as the house included a well equipped kitchen, BBQ and large outdoor table setting placed directly in front of an outside fireplace- perfect for our winter break! To cap it off, each night we were able to retreat to the cosy lounge room area to sit in front of a second fireplace or stay comfortably warm in the ducted air conditioning! I would highly recommend this place to a family wanting to reconnect, rejuvenate and escape. We look forward to returning- possibly in the warmer weather so the children can also make use of the swimming pool!
