Relaxing

We had a wonderful weekend away staying at the Whispering Brook. We all comfortably stayed in the gorgeous house and then stared the weekend off with a tasting at the Cellar door. Our tour guide was fantastic! He absolutely made our morning, the best tasting of the day, not to mention the delish wine! Thank you for having us, we will be back.

We loved our stay , plenty of room for all our family and extended family (16ppl in total) . We loved the outdoor entertaining area, using the Bbq and the large outdoor table. Plenty of seating in the longeroom and enough bathrooms for everyone to get ready for my Brothers wedding. Would definitely stay again if we needed accommodation in Broke. We also enjoyed our wine tasting Thankyou

Home away from Home

Overall it was fantastic in every respect with the only downfall being cleanliness…..cobwebs, filthy fan blades and just not up to the standard for a property where the rental cost is huge. More focus on improving cleanliness and dicing all the scented smelly sticks in a lot of the rooms.

A quiet place to stay

We had a great time at whispering Brook including a fabulous tasting with Glen on Day 1. 20 mins drive into Pokolbin but if you’re looking for someone peaceful this house is lovely. The peacock visiting was an added bonus. Ping pong was a lot of laughs! Thanks very much Bree

Wonderful!

Wonderful location, property and owners! Very much looking forward to coming back and spending more time doing the same things - wine tasting, relaxing, spending time with family in a beautifully thought out property. The resident peacock was a hit with the children and dogs too! We’ve decided to call him ‘Stuart’, and hope he’s also still there when we return :)

Very nicely furnished and comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay at Whispering Brook country house. The setting was very relaxing and stress free. We took our older dog and she settled in ok. It even had a Peakcock which was very friendly. Next time I would like to try the wine tasting.

Great family holiday!

8 great days under one roof! A few rainy days didn't put a damper on our family holiday. Plenty of space for 19 persons. Table tennis was very popular and the winery tour excellent. Back screen needs some attention.

Relaxing country house

We stayed for a few nights with a big group (13 people). There was plenty of room and the house accommodated us all comfortably. The cellar was amazing and very generous to our group. In the morning we had kangaroos in the yard and olive grove which was lovely to see. The location of Broke is fantastic with delicious wines and food everywhere.

Beautiful property in an ideal location. Our group of eight stayed two nights at Whispering Brook and attended a wedding on the Saturday at near by Adams Peak. We loved the house which has lots of charm, plently of room and is warm and comfortable. We highly recommend it and would have no hesitation in staying there again.

Great place to escape!

We stayed at Whispering Brook for a Corporate function. A total of 13 adults, and there was plenty of room without getting in each others way. All facilities were perfect for our 2 night stay and catered to everyones needs. Loved the fireplace especially! The winery tour was fantastic! We all learn't something new! Would stay again if the opportunity arises!

Great Weekend

10 of our closes friends got together for a girls weekend away for my 30th. We had the best time and we were well looked after by Whispering Brook. It was the coldest weekend in the Hunter, however we were warm as toast in the house with the fire going. the wine tour was also a great experience.

Great for large family groups

We had a great time at Whispering Brook. The cottage is set on a beautiful property with vinyard, olive groves and mature trees. The cellar door is only a minute walk away and they do a fantastic complimentary tour and tasting for cottage guests. Ron, the Manager is fantastic value and full of interesting facts. The house is a little worn and could do with some work. Although this did not detract from our stay. The one thing i would say was an issue was in the kitchen. They need to refresh all the kitchen utensils and fix the dishwasher. Otherwise a lovely property.

Spacious comfortable

We stayed over the Easter weekend with our adult children and other family. The house was comfortable and clean. The lounge area is very large and was great for our numbers. The house itself needs some TLC, looking very tired. With no wardrobes and nothing to put bags on in three of the downstairs bedrooms including the main one, it was a little hard to manage clothes over the time we were there. Hobs in both downstairs showers also made access difficult for anyone with knee or back issues. It was lovely to light the fire, and to see the kangaroos hopping past the windows regularly. The use of the washing machine was also great. Ron was very accommodating bringing us some firewood and extra bins
