3 couples just spent 3 nights in the 3 bedroom cottage ( we came to Hunter for Elton John concert). Accommodation absolutely perfect! So beautifully appointed, we wanted for nothing. So clean, so comfy - we didn’t want to leave. Having bus stop at gate to take us to concert a fabulous added bonus. Thank you - cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough (Cottage 1 absolutely perfect for 3 couples).

We drove up from the Southern Highlands to attend the Elton John concert at Hope Estate. We found the cottage to be well located and very comfortable. Thank goodness for the Air conditioning as it was an extremely hot day and would not have survived other wise. The buses for the concert picked us up at the gate which was an added bonus. 3 good sized rooms and 2 bathrooms with separate toilets made it great for the whole family.
Lovedale Hunter Valley NSW, what an amazing place. We only stayed 2 nights, 9 people and we were all very sad to leave, next trip we going to stay much longer. Paul & his wife have thought of everything...golf course, tennis court, cricket pitch, heated swimming pool in a shed, just awesome. It was our Fathers 80th birthday and he is from the Aussie outback and we wanted to give him a present that had an old feel with lots of open space, he was so happy with Lovedale that it brought a tear to his eye. Dad loved the old interior, the old fire place, right down to the roster & chickens calling in for a visit. Yes this place is a must. ...
There were 5 of us adults and two toddlers, so the 3 bedrooms did for us, with one 2yr.old sleeping with his parents in the ample king size bed, and the other one, sleeping with his mum in the double bed.
Cottage was lovely and clean, with a complimentary bottle of local wine, which was a nice surprise and well appreciated.
There was an a/con in the lounge room, but but was hot the day we arrived, and we had to leave the bedroom doors open to get the benefit of cold air. Maybe a ceiling fan in the bedrooms, would solve that problem?
The t.v. echoed through the bedrooms, even though we had the volume very low.
A nice touch was the iPod docking stations in all the bedrooms, the basket of toiletries, again in all the bedrooms, and a spa bath in one of the bathrooms, complete with candles.
Double shower heads for those wanting to share the shower!
Also, Weber b.b.cue in verandah.
Kangaroos were seen at the back, and a dam in the front , and lots of space for children to run around.
I booked a cabin for two nights for my partner's birthday weekend and I am so glad I chose Cottages on Lovedale. It was peaceful and quiet, and so very relaxing. We loved having the wood provided for us to be able to lit a fire and keep warm.
I booked and paid for one-bedroom which means the remaining two rooms and additional bathroom in the cottage were locked. We still had access to the rest of the cottage and it really felt like we were at home.
Everything we incredibly clean and well presented. The modern appliances were great. The bathroom, with double headed shower, was perfect. Not to mention the spa bath!
We loved going for a walk in the paddock around the property and enjoyed sipping wine on the balcony out the front.
The location is fantastic! With the new Hunter Expressway, it was so quick to get back to Sydney on Sunday afternoon. The Lovedale wineries were all so close, and Pokolbin is just around the corner.
We would recommend Leaves and Fishes for dinner - literally just up the road!
This would be the perfect place to bring the entire family and extended family because there are THREE three-bedroom cottages and you could potentially rent them all for the weekend!
We will be back!
We booked two cottages as I was getting married that weekend. The cottages were spacious and comfortable with pretty surrounds. It was a nice and quiet location. The kitchen was spacious with plenty of breakfast food provided in the fridge. It was the perfect place for me and my bridesmaids to get ready for the wedding, the cottage looked beautiful in all the photos and provided a perfect backdrop for all the pre-wedding shots. We had our makeup done out on the verandah and it was so peaceful looking out to the countryside.
Would definitely consider staying here again!
