We had an amazing stay at Stonegate — the perfect home for 3 families. The kids were entertained throughout our 7‑night visit and were begging to stay longer. Between the beautiful pool, tennis court, basketball court and the multiple indoor seating areas, there was always something for everyone to enjoy.The house was very spacious with many entertainjng rooms. The property was very clean and the kitchen had a range of grest appliances. Being in the centre of The Wine Country, we even managed to book a private wine tour, which was such a bonus and made the trip feel extra special.The location is fantastic too. Stonegate is an easy walk to Potters Brewery and local cafés, making our days out super convenient.A huge shout‑out to Hunter Valley Stays for their outstanding service. They were quick to respond to all my texts and calls, and a special thank you to Tiffany, who happily took my call even on a public holiday. Truly above and beyond.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Great stay, big areas for everything we needed. Can improve on modernising the property as it was a bit dated. No wifi is a big draw back and didn’t realise until a few days out (just assumed there was wifi in this day and age), we probably would not of booked if I noticed. Bindis are rampant everywhere. It would be good if at least an area was controlled as nearly everytime you touched the grass you got stuck with several.

Excellent property!!!

We had the most wonderful time staying at Stonegate Estate! It was the perfect location to have our own private surroundings and thoroughly enjoyed visiting the wine region and enjoying the amenities the property had to offer! The pool was especially enjoyable in the extreme heat we experience! We are already planning our next visit!

Great property in a great location. Sunset was beautiful. Tennis court and pool was great and got lots of use. Loved the privacy as well. Only complaint is the house could do with some brighter lights as the outside lights were quite dim.

This property has the potential of 5 stars bit only deserves 2 or maybe 3. There are issues in every room. Blinds that don't open because the strings are broken. Dreadful mattresses. Nowhere to put your clothes in main room... no shelf, chest of drawers.. nothing. Broken lights, broken milk frother. Nothing worked in the cinema room at all... the projector, tv dvd.. nothing. Had to get manager out with a new dvd player. Dvd player in main room didn't work either. While place needs a going over and fixed. Fantastic potential but very run down and unloved.

Hunter valley Christmas

It is on beautiful land with the tennis court and pool just beautiful. I stayed here 5 years earlier and was disappointed to see that the house has deteriorated a lot in that time. The kitchen was greasy the rangewood was full of grease the mesh inserts on the kitchen cupboards are thick with dust. Main bedroom has a Power point that makes a noise which isn’t safe and the second bedroom lamps when we turned them on they blew straight away. The house was full of mosquitoes and the house needs spraying as there are wasps and nests everywhere, also cockroaches came out at night in bathrooms and kitchen. Such a shame as it’s perfectly positioned on beautiful land the house needs TLC nothing has been done in 5 years it needs painting on the outside as well.

Great home but needs work

The home was a great size and layout for a great and memorable multi generational family stay, however as a premium property with premium pricing it fell well short of the cleaning and maintenance standards one would expect. There are too many issues to list individually but include poorly maintained gardens full of weeds ( we understand that with the dry a green lawn was not there however gardens full of large weeds, and bindis on the walk between the house and pool is just lack of maintenance. The broken nets on the games facilities dilapidated pool housing and surrounds; , holes in the deck and protruding nails took the shine off what otherwise would be an outstanding property. Also whilst the surfaces inside the house were clean, mouse poo in the kitchen cupboards and on the utensils was not great neither was the super iced up and dirty freezer. The kitchen utensils and crockery has not been maintained and sorted as part of the post clean up by the managers after each visit. Lack of wifi ( whist this was made known in the booking ) is also not great for a stay in a premium property . When some of the defects were mentioned to the managers staff on site the response was you can suggest to the owners only so much but cant make them do things to me is not a response - when the property is managed by a company that promotes luxury stays then they have the power to ensure the quality lives up to the promise - by refusing to list unless the required maintenance is done.

Nice property

The Stonegate is a beautiful property, located close to vineyards, and not far from Cessnock. Overall, our stay was comfortable. Facilities within the property were generally functional for their age. General cleanliness was ok but with some areas for improvement, for instance the floorboard was a bit dirty and we found a cockroach in the kitchen. The dishwasher did not seem to be cleaning the dishes very cleanly as some plates/utensils were still dirty upon our check-in. Also, some bathrooms were missing body wash. Overall a good stay.
