Super family-friendly, with loads of space for our group of 19. The kids enjoyed all the outdoor activities available, including the pool, play gym, pool table, table tennis, basketball and feeding the chooks! Checkin was a breeze and all issues were dealt with without any fuss. Highly recommended for large family groups

The amenities were great. The kids loved the pool, collecting eggs each day, outdoor games and picking the fruit and vegies. However, the outdoor furniture was dirty on arrival which we had to clean before using, and the main ensuite was not properly prepared for guests, as the toilet was still soiled.

Family time

Rosedale Estate was perfect for a family get together to celebrate a birthday. It catered superbly for age range from 3 yrs to over 60s. The kids loved the play area, the tyre swing and collecting eggs from the hens for their breakfast. We made a huge roast lunch in the superbly equipped kitchen and loved the wood burning fires in the 2 lounges. Can definitely recommend this property all year round.

Excellent Extended Family Stay

Wonderful relaxing few days away with the family. Sasha & John are an absolute credit to the company. When we woke up to no power and water, they went above and beyond the call of duty. The boys loved the pool and collecting fresh eggs each morning. Thank you for having us! Would highly recommend this property!

Absolutely Amazing Homestead Experience

??“We had a wonderful time at Rosedale Homestead. And my group were thoroughly impressed that the chickens gave us 13 eggs, and not the 2 or 3 that we were told to expect. Having a comfy bed for each of us was lovely and even those that didn't have an ensuite to their room were still super impressed with the entire home. I must mention that stunning dining table was a big hit and served us well at our dinner & breakfast feasts.”
Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr 2020
Thank you Judy, so glad Rosedale Estate impressed you and your guests. The chickens are a favorite and always surprise guests with their wonderful eggs (for your breaky feasts) at the Rosedales stunning table. Glad the comfy beds were a hit! Come back and stay again very soon.

Great house for large groups

Had a lovely girls weekend away here! The property is nice! It’s right on the main road, but wasn’t too noisy as it’s not a busy road. Chickens and veg patch were a lovely addition, nice to have fresh eggs in the morning and the tomato’s were delicious! The pool was so lovely, esp in the afternoon when it’s not in direct sunlight! Although you could smell wafts from the septic tank. A guy unexpectedly showed up to fix it, which wasn’t communicated to us, but didn’t really seem to help. Was only every now and then though, so not a big deal and probably due to the very hot day! Aircon is only in some rooms, not working in kitchen/dining so it was a little hot with cooking/dining but otherwise the house was super comfy and accommodating for large groups! We forgot toilet paper, and they were kind enough to drop some to us! Overall a lovely stay! Recommend spending a weekend away here for sure! Communicating with Steph at Hunter Valley stays was great, she was prompt and very helpful!

Our Daughters Wedding

We have a fairly large family and were keen for us all to stay together for our daughters wedding. There were 17 of us, the property was excellent for such a large group. There was a great kitchen and dining set up where we spent most of our time if we were not outside enjoying the view. We had an lovely weekend.

SIBLINGS WEEKEND

Each year around early November our siblings group tries to find a sizable place to stay for the weekend to catch-up and simply chill out together. This year’s stay has been agreed as one of the best. With 11 people finding 7 bedrooms with a reasonable number of bathrooms is always an issue. Having 4 en-suites and 2 other bathrooms was the bonus. Add to that the well maintained surrounds and the popular pool it was easy to make the decision. While our stay is not usually in the same place twice we are always on the lookout for a property within 4 hours of Sydney and within reasonable reach of those are country residents. The Hunter Valley region gave us more external activities than ever before and our two full days here have been relaxing and enjoyable. We would like to thank the owners for their generosity in making available their vegetables garden and the chicken coop eggs. No that’s a bonus that isn’t in any advertising and surprised and delighted us on arrival. The icing on an already wonderful cake.

“Rosedale Estate was perfect for our annual Hunter Valley trip. We are two families with grown up (married) children and this property suited us well (6 couples).

Hunter Retreat fit for many Kings

“I have seen photographs of Rosedale Estate for the past 5 years but the actual property surpassed my expectations and assumptions. It was perfect for our group of 10 single, mature men. Comfort, everything you could ever imaging needing, tables big enough for all of us to sit at and dine with ease and fresh eggs laid each day! Amazing. We all voted that we’ll endeavour to make this an annual experience.”
