Family-friendly vacation rentals in Cessnock

Great cabin located inside the Eaglereach Wilderness retreat. This particular cabin was nice and private, tucked away from the other houses. It had everything we needed for a comfy stay, and enough games to keep our kids entertained on a VERY rainy day! The facilities in the complex are great too: pool, outdoor gym, playground, small dam (for paddling), tennis court and rec room with pool table and ping pong table. A great holiday spot, all within east reach of Sunday. Sensational views too!

Absolutely loved our stay at Vicki and Roger’s cabin in Hunter Valley! The place was super cozy, clean, and surrounded by beautiful views — perfect for a relaxing break. Vicki and Roger were such lovely hosts, really friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone heading to the area!

We had a wonderful family vacation at Susan’s place! Her house was incredibly cozy and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Susan was also very accommodating and responsive to all our needs, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended! DJDVE

Our stay at Bella Vista was pure heaven. It’s been 10 days since we left and every day we have reminisced, scrolled through photos and contemplated when we can visit again! My son said today ‘I don’t want to go to school, why can’t we just live at Bella Vista!!’ This place was perfect for a family getaway. It was spacious, luxurious, peaceful and had everything we needed. The view is incredible. We can’t wait to go back.

Had a wonderful weekend in the hunter and the accommodation was excellent highly recommend

Antonina was a lovely host, who responded straight away to any questions we had. The home was just as described very beautiful with lovely surroundings. We felt so relaxed in this beautiful private surroundings. Would definitely recommend and we will hopefully be coming back in Easter.

We absolutely loved staying at Armando's place and felt very much at home! Each room met our needs perfectly, and the gardens were so lovely! It was great to see the many accessible features that were very tastefully done also. a great place to stay!

A beautiful cottage that met our expectations & needs for the weekend. The hosts were incredible and were available to assist. My family had a wonderful stay that exceeded their expectations. Thank you

Beautiful property, backed by an amazing host. You won’t be disappointed to stay here! Thank you for such a great weekend away.

Joe's place was exactly as described - tranquile farm stay with all kinds of wildlife visits! It even had everything for breakfast - bread, eggs, cereals, coffee and fruits! even an avocado!!! we also needed some extra milk and he was able to help with that! thank you Joe - we'll come again!

This listing was spacious, comfortable and had everything you need for a great weekend in the Hunter valley. Easy, secure parking and two great decks to enjoy

Lovely home with unique decorations. We feel like staying in an artist’s house. Lee was very responsive, friendly and accommodating. We also love the gated backyard, plenty of area for our dogs to exercise and play.

My partner and I, and our 3 kids (between 5 and 8) had a great time! The house has a hot-water outdoor shower to get properly clean after a day at the beach. You can watch the beautiful sunrise across the ocean from the large living room windows. The kitchen has PLENTY of cooking utensils and crockery. TV has all the apps. The ping pong table downstairs was also worth it. It's useful to know that three of the 4 bedrooms are downstairs, and one queen bedroom is upstairs where the rest of the action is. The front balcony is nice and spacious, and the deck out to the back is HUGE! The location is extremely quiet, you can hear the waves on the beach. It takes about 3-5 minutes walk to get to the beach, it's very, very close.

Lovely place, great location and very homely. Would not stay anywhere else in Newcastle when back!

We live in the area and just needed a place to crash while we had some work done at home. The house is beautiful and airy and instructions were crystal clear. We loved having a little staycation in the best suburb in Newy!

Here's a refined version of your text: We had a fantastic time at Windmill! The place is spacious and was perfect for our group of four families. The backyard is amazing, with the pool being the main attraction. The large kitchen with everything you need leads to a nice covered balcony—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The beds were super comfy, and the location is excellent, with supermarkets and restaurants just a few minutes away. Tanya was a wonderful host, very communicative and a lovely person to talk to. Thanks for having us! :)

We had the loveliest weekend staying at Terry’s place. It was exactly as described and had everything we needed. Graham, you are such a lovely, accommodating person and we feel so fortunate to have stayed at your place. You made us feel like we were looked after and cared for. We are so grateful for your kindness. The green tree frog in the bathroom was so exciting for two Sydney people! Thanks again!

Carol and Terry are very friendly and very lovely hosts. Their place is lovely with beautiful surrounds, very close to zoo - you can see giraffes in the morning and hear lions roaring at sunset - likey being on safari! There is an excellent hot tub. Beds were super comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

Very cosy comfy bed in a quiet location, good central area for getting around. Close to black butt reserve which was really nice for walking. Very friendly nice host and very clean. Loved it , couldn't fault in anyway.

We selected Ruth’s BnB based on availability and proximity to John Hunter Hosp. So very glad we did as we got an extremely flexible Hosp, air BnB that had a home feel and all the little nick nacks that you need in daily life that many BnBs don’t cover.

Micah and Denny’s place was perfect! They were so responsive with messages and the house is exactly as it looked in pictures. The area is easy to reach, picturesque and tranquil.

Great New Years experience. The cottage was in a private area, but still close to different sites like the Hunter Valley Gardens, it was a great getaway from the city!!

Peaceful location, had a great girls weekend away 💜 next time I’ll just remember to bring more bug spray, there were more mozzies than I expected to be at the location, and I did not come prepared enough as the person who is generally the one bitten in the group, this is an error on my part

We had a wonderful stay. The house is very comfortable with plenty of space for a large group and close to many vineyards and restaurants. The outdoor entertaining area and pool are absolutely fabulous. Highly recommended.
