Staying in an almost 200 year old cottage was extremely relaxing. Cozy and comfortable with wonderfully calming sounds of the countryside. Our hosts Jane, Peter and Cooper were very accommodating. Cooper greeted each of us when we arrived, and sat with me while a read my book on the verandah. We sat and ate breakfast each morning with tiny birds fluttering around in the cottage garden just outside the kitchen windows. We visited the local area and ended our first day with a visit to the propertyâs cellar door for a wine tasting hosted by Peter. We all purchased some wine to enjoy that evening. I feel privileged to have been allowed to share such a beautiful property with friends. Thank you Peter, Jane and Cooper.
Jane and Peter were very welcoming and generous (thanks for the delicious bottle of wine). The cottage is old and charming with a lovely garden and lots of citrus trees. We were permitted to pick the fruit and so had lovely fresh orange juice for breakfast along with the provided bacon, eggs and toast.The days we chose were probably the coldest days we have had so far this winter and so the cottage was cold. There was an open fire and firewood and a number of heaters as well as electric blankets which were very welcome! Unfortunately, the area had a power outage for a few hours on our first day, so we retreated to the pub,We would love to stay again but maybe not in mid-winter.
Lovely few days away. Quietness that you can feel. Comfortable, breakfast provisions, beautiful outlook from the verandah. Open fire so comforting. Our border collie loved the space and the company of resident border Cooper
We had such a wonderful time. Such a relaxing stay. No internet reception but that added to the experience as it was so nice to relax, sip tea and play cards. The hosts are so lovely! We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return.
We loved our stay at the Settlerâs cottage. It was like stepping back in time! The setting is beautiful and so quiet and relaxing. Peter and Jane were lovely hosts and so welcoming and it was great to hear about the history of the place. We also enjoyed our visits from Cooper the dog too, so gorgeous! It was a lovely to have the breakfast supplies provided too. We would definitely recommend the wine too! Definitely love to return - thanks for letting us stay!
From the booking through all the communication and to arrival, everything was easy. All questions were answered promptly. Very friendly hosts. Highly recommend
The host was welcoming and pleasant
Complimentary breakfast provisions were great
The property is very old and rustic, I wouldnât recommend if you are not up to this type of accommodation.
Bed, bed linen pillows and blankets very worn and old, this was very unsatisfactory.
Grime kitchen. The place needs a good clean and upgrade to all bedding and soft furnishings.
I like and appreciate the old and rustic type accommodation, but visitors need to feel comfortable if you want them to return.
Great wine and clever sparkling
A quiet retreat with a beautiful bushland outlook. The cottage was quaint and charming. It was very close to the wedding venue we were attending and close to the historic town of Wollombi
There was no TV or Internet so bring a book. Unfortunately we couldnât get the fire to light which would have added to the old world atmosphere
Country living so close to Sydney. The cottage was authentic and brought to life the real experiences. The winery was an added bonus. The hosts were very friendly and thoughtful. In many sense, it is an authentic experience; it's not a modern cottage with a made-up look. It was perfect for us. There was egg, bacon, and milk in the fridge. I also loved Wollombi such rustic charm, and the residents slowed down to wave or salute. I loved it.
My partner and I welcomed the new year in this beautiful historic site and loved every minute of it! Thank you for your hospitality and for having us and our nervous pups!
We loved staying at the Settlers Cottage. It's rustic, very comfortable, wonderfully quiet & like stepping back in time. Great location & ambience.
We shall be back!
Highly recommend.
My wife and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend in the cottage. Cooper helped wear our 2 y/o Lab out. Location to town was only a 15 minute walk. Looking forward to trying it out in the Winter with a cosy fire.
Friendly hosts with what you need for your stay, nice outlook from verandah, host's dog likes to welcome you and will visit at breakfast for bacon leftovers, close to the historic village with a great pub with verandah, beer garden, bistro and no TV's or Screens!
Peter made us feel very welcome. The cabin was very beautiful. We sat by the open fire drinking wine and playing scrabble. During the day we adventured into the village, having a drink and some wood fired pizzas at the local pub. It was a perfect relaxing weekend we needed with our pup. Definitely come back.
A great weekend away with family and pet.
A welcoming host and a Great breakfast pack provided
Lovely country environment in which to relax and for the dog to run around
A great opportunity to sample the onsite winery
Les points forts : Communication, emplacement, exactitude de lâannonce
Just a heads up
As we arrived after dark & it was cold, it would have been nice to have arrived to a warmed up cabin, rather than having to get warm on arrival.
Enjoyed stopping at Cellar door to view sculpture & sample some bubbles
