About this property

Cosy two bedroom cottage in the centre of Pokolbin

Our cottage is an old style two bedroom weatherboard with a classic covered country style balcony on the Eastern and Northern side and with a recently renovated kitchen, bathroom and a cosy living/dining room to relax and watch TV or chill out after a busy day visiting the local attractions. The location is fantastic being minutes to Hunter Valley Gardens, Hope Estate, Roche and Bimbadgen and right next door to the gorgeous Italian Restaurant Pescara; very central and close if you are attending one of the many concerts in Pokolbin. It is about a five minute drive away from the Vintage Golf Resort & Spa and is surrounded by vineyards, restaurants, cafes and all of the attractions that have made the Hunter Valley Wine Region a favourite for visitors from around the globe.
We offer a very private, relaxing location, a comfortable fully self contained cottage but right in the heart of the action.
The cottage is the only rental accommodation on our property and shares the area up close to McDonalds Road with our fine art gallery, Watershed Gallery

We had a nice, relaxing stay in the tranquil bush setting in the Pokolbin cottage, The well equipped kitchen enabled us to prepare our meals after a day of sampling different wineries. The cottage is cosy, clean & we had a good night’s sleep in a comfortable bed. There are more than enough wineries, restaurants, bars, distilleries etc in a close radius of the cottage, so really don’t have to drive far. Hunter Valley gardens is also close by.

We did not see the host but the entry instructions, The welcome provisions including a nice bottle of wine and the house itself were all very welcoming. The setting right next to the watershed Gallery but among a large area of open Woodland was delightful filled from dawn till dusk with Pleasant Birdsong . The house met all our needs very appropriately.

We absolutely love staying at Watershed's beautiful, blue cottage. Ron and Lyn are sensational hosts, extremely welcoming and supportive. Their Watershed Art Gallery is also located on the property which is a bonus.The property is in an excellent, central location. It is the perfect venue for a couple's weekend away or a trip with girlfiends. We cannot wait for a return visit!
