Scarborough Cottage - Rothbury

Privately nestled within a 100-acre property, Scarborough Cottage is the definition of an authentic vineyard stay, perfect for up to four guests seeking a peaceful location to take in the best of the Hunter Valley. Located on Wine Country Drive in Rothbury, guests will immediately feel a sense of place when they turn into the rose-edged entrance and traveling along the native bushland driveway, arriving at the country chapel-like, 2-bedroom cottage within the house paddock of Scarborough family’s Sunshine Vineyard.

This winemaker’s cottage has the charm of yesteryear with the fusion of comforts you would wish for to create a very special and memorable rural escape. Casual, charming in style and deeply comfortable, staying at Scarborough Cottage is an opportunity to relax, take a breath and feel at ease as you and your guests enjoy the beauty that only nature and the wide-open space can give.
 
Scarborough Cottage is conveniently located only just 28 kms from the Hunter Expressway, the Historic town of Branxton and Huntlee Shopping Centre, as well as 7.3 km to Hunter Valley Gardens, 6 km to Scarborough Wine Co. Cellar Door, 3.5 km to Cessnock Airport and, even closer to The Vintage Greg Norman designed Golf Course, Bistro Nineteen, major concert and wedding venues as well as restaurants such as Muse and Amanda’s on the Edge. Tour operators will happily collect you from this property so you can experience the luxury of a private driver and fully enjoy the tasting experiences the valley is famous for.
 
Scarborough Cottage has a classic layout with a country kitchen, separate living and dining rooms, two king bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, BBQ deck with views as well as a petite, sun-drenched deck off the dining room, reverse cycle air-conditioning, laundry with washer and dryer, and Wi-Fi.
 
Wake and stretch out on the outdoor chairs in the sun with your morning coffee, and plan your day of exploring the valley, wine tasting, playing golf or dining at any of the fabulous restaurants nearby. Given the tranquillity of the location, we would totally understand if you simply chose to spend the day at the cottage, cooking and catching up with friends, curl up with a great book and a glass of Scarborough Chardonnay or equally, going back to bed for more restful slumber in the cottage’s seriously luxurious king beds.
