Across the road from Coal d' Vine Cottage is a service station. PK's Olde General Store. You can get your petrol from there (although it can be expensive at times) it also has a mini grocery section. It has a restaurant where you can dine in, or get take away 7 days a week. Very handy if you want to grab something to eat and you don't feel like cooking. Or if you feel like eating some junk food, all you need to do is run across the road (make sure you look both ways first🙂�)

The Cottage is a great size for larger groups, there is also plenty of space for parking in the driveway or backyard. It is convenient for tradies to stay with off street parking for their work Utes. When you get back after a long day working, you can relax outside on the large back verandah. It is only around a 2 hour drive from Sydney. So if you are working in, or near Cessnock, it is a great place to stay. It can be your home away from home for the weekdays, then you can go back to your families on the weekend. It is much more comfortable than staying in a motel.

We stayed in the Coal d'Vine Cottage for 3 nights with 6 Children and 2 adults while visiting my sister who has recently moved to Cessnock. Upon arrival we walked into a beautifully warm cottage that was neat and well suited to our needs. The kitchen was well apointed which is really healpful with 6 children. The only negative to the place is it is on a busy road but we would definately use this cottage again when visiting my sister.

Disappointing
Bed linen, pillows, duvet and towels were of a very poor standard....disappointing considering the high two person tariff for one night. No instructions for using the TV and no connection cord for the DVD player....finally sorted after contacting owner.
On the positive side, the house was warm and clean with a workable kitchen and close to shops and restaurants. Bathroom was functional with bath and ample hotwater. Laundry lacked a dryer which precluded us from doing a much needed clothes wash. Although this is an old home on a busy road, much more could have been done in presenting this property to improve the guest's comfort and overall experience and encourage repeat business.

Thanks Mark for review of our Aussie Chillout at Coal d' Vine Cottage - Cessnock NSW. For affordability the house is more suitable to families or group of friends. We welcome couples as well. Normally a minimum of two nights. But if there are orphan single nights then we do increase price merely so that we can pay the cleaner. We will be travelling down from the Gold Coast and staying there in November 2022. We will take stock of the Manchester and renew as necessary. We don't want clothes dryer due to electricity cost and OH&S with guests leaving on as potential fire risk if left unattended. There is back patio for drying in bad weather. We take on board feedback as to where we can improve. Thanks Mark.
