Duns Creek House | Spring is nearly here & the birds are singing. A wonderful way to wake up.

3 Bedroom House in Duns Creek, Paterson

The house is a perfect get away from the city on an historic farm, yet only a couple of hours from Sydney or an hour from Newcastle.
Also perfect in proximity for Tocal & Wallalong wedding venues.
We have loved hosting overseas visitors who have explored the Hunter wineries on day 1 and Port Stephens on day 2..we are half way between the 2 locations.
Reputedly the oldest house in the Hunter Valley established in 1822 and refreshed for a luxury experience.
Old Duninald is a luxurious cottage nestled in the Hunter Valley, near Paterson featuring 3 bedrooms with 3 living spaces, a lounge dining room, and a sunroom with spacious verandas. Your group will have space to come together or spread out.
There is a welcome pack with items for a continental breakfast, including home grown honey. There is wine & cheese & biscuits for you to enjoy when you check in.
Old Duninald features a large modern kitchen and two newly renovated bathrooms.
The house is set in 25 acres of woodland that you are able to wander in. There are tracks through the wood and around the billabong. There is a summer house by the billabong to sit & relax in.
The house is a perfect location if you are:
- attending a wedding in the Paterson area
- want a base for further exploring our beautiful valley :Morpeth, Maitland, Dungog, Lostock
- attending a course at Tocal college
- wanting a perfect get away just want to relax on the spacious verandas, take a walk in the wood
We are finding our guests are using this as a perfect place to explore the Lower Hunter Valley. As well as the destinations within a 20 minutes radius: Maitland, Morpeth & Dungog....in an hours radius are Newcastle, the Hunter valley vineyards & Port Stephens.
Whilst we have specified no children, this is really a safety issue for your children as there are safety issues with a billabong close to the house and electric fences on the property. Babies & children over 7 are welcome as they will be too young to wander off or old enough to understand the issues.
Sustainability issues:
The house is electrified during the day by solar panels.
There is a power point in the garage for you to recharge your electric vehicle, if necessary.
The water is collected from the roof & is totally suitable for drinking.
Rubbish is sorted into general waste & recycling. There is also a compost bin, that will feed the chooks if you put our green waste in the bin.

Summary: I had a wonderful 3night stay at this beautiful property. It was the perfect choice for attending a nearby wedding. Julia's communication before, during & after our stay was fantastic. The little extra touches really made a difference, such as the local honey and fresh bread waiting for us, as well as the thoughtful information about the history of the house. It truly felt like a special experience, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone attending an event nearby or just looking for a charming and welcoming getaway in the hunter region.

Summary: We thought the property was beautiful and comfortable. It was perfect for our needs. The oven needed a clean, but apart from that the property was clean, neat and tidy. It had a beautiful feel. I found the logging in process tricky, but once logged in, communication with the owner was a breeze. We would happily recommend this property. Thanks.

Summary: I stayed here for my wedding weekend and it was beautiful. The property is lovely and quiet. Amazing scenery from the back deck. Everyone that visited the accommodation over the weekend adored the cottage. It was clean, breakfast supplies with tea and coffee was supplied and some wine as well. Couldn't rate this place higher. Thank you Julie

Summary: Great property in perfect location for wedding at Tocal Homestead. Old Duninald is a beautiful old homestead, tastefully renovated and decorated with all the comforts of home.

Summary: I stayed at the beautiful Duninald house with my bridesmaids and mum the night before and morning of my wedding at Tocal Homestead. The amazing hospitality and picturesque accomodation truly set the scene for a stress free and beautiful wedding experience. We can’t wait to return for weekends with the family or around our anniversary for little country escapes. The lighting and space was perfect for my hair and makeup artists when getting ready and the wrap around deck made for perfect photos. Would highly recommend to any bride to be getting married in the area.

Summary: The property is exactly as described!! We stayed with our elderly parents and an interstate family member. On our first night we had extended family over for a casual dinner. There was plenty of room, seating and amenities in the kitchen. We had an absolute ball. The house is surrounded by spectacular gardens worth a walk around!! The beds and bathrooms are very comfortable, everything you need onsite, just bring you and your food/beverages. Our second night was at a wedding at Tocal, just a hop skip and jump from this gorgeous property. We loved every second and hope to return! Huge thanks Julia! Nicole

Summary: Stunning old home, however for the hefty price I was a bit disappointed with some of the cleaning. There were huge cobwebs on a lot of the walls inside and the drain in the bathroom was completely blocked making the entire bathroom flood within a couple of minutes of having the water running. Other than this, the house and location is very picturesque and serene.
