As you approach the property through the tree-lined driveway, you're greeted by two life-sized bronze deer, guardians of this extraordinary space.

Designed for large group self-contained accommodation, the property is ideal for gatherings of friends, family, small weddings, and corporate retreats. A surreal evening on the deck will include the roar of the lions and the sight of the giraffes, our neighbours at the Hunter Valley Zoo.

Summary: We had 24 guests with 4 kids and the property accommodated all of us all quite comfortably. We used the Lodge, Retreat and Lion's Den to accommodate our guests and all were clean, had modern facilities and the decor was nothing I had ever seen before. This property was like staying in a lodge in a forest; we heard the lions roaring at night, a nice fog had settled in overnight on one morning and there is so much space! Some bedrooms have ensuites and those that don't share fantastic bathroom facilities. We had a catered dinner on one of our night's stays and the kitchen was fully functional for our dinner. The views are also amazing and the property is very central to the main sights of the Hunter Valley. I highly recommend this property to stay at for a perfect experience.

Summary: The Lodge and Retreat were just absolutely amazing. Not only were they gorgeous, they were also equipped with everything we could possible require. The pool and hot tub were also so nice to spend time in. The games room was immaculate and well stocked. It was a beautiful house and the surrounding area was equally beautiful. More than anything, the communication from Brooke was just so easy and great. She was so attentive to everything and so prompt with all her responses. Amazing service. Definitely will be coming back.
