We definitely struck gold finding this amazing property in Hinton. Every room was impeccibly decorated, beds super comfortable and the view so tranqil. There was no shortage of luxuries. There is an outdoor sauna overlooking the expansive paddock, a firepit with a built in yarning circle, piano and a full sized pool table. Our teenage children played games of pool followed by sitting around the campfire playing their guitars, which was so heartwarming to see them interact like this rather than sit on their devices. There is also a selection of great reading material in the library lounge area as well as games and puzzles. We are already planning our next visit back. Thank you Penny for letting us stay and for your incredible communication. From enquiry to booking and checking out was seamless.
This is a magnificent country chic retreat, with views of the whole Hunter Valley, the dairy, on a farm that has been in the owners family for 150 years-on 500 acres! Easy access to the beaches, Morpeth, wineries and so much gorgeous space to relax on your long days unwinding!
