Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Picture perfect rural cottage on 12 acres
Such a beautiful property with a recent glow-up. You will want to spend all your time outside and with the pool, hot tub and fire pit area - you can! Having lunch at Farmers Wife is also a great way to break up your stay.

Beach getaway
I would highly recommend Karen’s place . It was one of the cleanest and well appointed houses I have stayed in . Lovely bedding , bathrooms immaculate and the spa worked without a glitch ! Not one negative thing to say . Thank you Karen for everything .

Love Cottage * Wine & Cheese Hamper * Outdoor Spa
We stayed at the Love St Cottage for a family wedding at Peterson House and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The home was exactly as pictured—spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and incredibly comfortable. It had everything we needed for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. The location was super central, making it easy to get around, and the host was friendly and very responsive. Highly recommend!

Bush Spa Cottage
Had an amazing and restful time. The price was amazing for the accomodations and the location is so beautiful. Loved having our own hot tub!

Cozy Cottage near the beach
We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage with our family of five. The home was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The backyard was a highlight for the kids, with plenty of space to play and a great BBQ and outdoor dining area for us to relax. It was just a short walk to a fantastic family-friendly park, local pubs, and shops. Communication with the host was friendly and prompt, and she gave us some great local recommendations. Highly recommend for families looking for a well-equipped, welcoming place to stay!

Sweetacres - Woodlands Cottage
Really nice place. Closer to the road than you think but the road noise isn’t bad. Very comfortable & well appointed.

Hunter Valley, NSW - Cadair Cottage 1
Lovely mid-week stay. Check in super easy, place had everything we needed. Large well fenced yard to keep our dogs secured. 10/10 - would stay again.

Escape to the Hunter Valley at Thallan Cottage
We stayed for two nights. The place is surrounded by nature and farms—you could hear cows and birds, which was really peaceful. The house was excellent and clean, and Jemma was a responsive host. Our phones didn’t have reception, so we were completely disconnected during our stay, which helped us truly relax and clear our minds.

Mindaribba Cottage
Sally and Romo go out of their way to make your stay at Mindaribba Cottage a memorable and beautiful experience. Genuine care and thoughtfulness go into the experience. If the charming location and gorgeous cottage aren't enough, the warm bread, fresh eggs, and baked treats on your arrival will totally win you over!

The Cottage - Berry House
Perfect place for an escape! Glenn’s space was a great retreat from city life. Although weather stopped us using the pool, it was the perfect excuse to stay indoors, light the log fire and enjoy a bottle of wine from nearby wineries. The accommodation was comfortable, on beautiful grounds. Glenn was helpful and responsive and the added touches of fresh eggs in the morning and introductions to the cute dogs was welcomed!

Jess Cottage
The location is super close to beach and restaurants, the suburb is quiet we all like it. My furry friend also loves the beautiful yard. We will definitely book this wonderful spot again if we back to Shoal Bay!

27 Rows on Hermitage The Vines 1
We had the best stay at Tanya’s place. Walking distance and short drive to many vineyards and restaurants. Perfect cosy cottage, even when the weather is rainy. The huge spa bath and rain shower head is a big plus as well!! Our golden retriever Moose had an absolute blast and we will be back!

Salty Dog Cottage Belmont
Perfect spot for exploring this part of Australia. Particularly loved the sunset views from decking. Would definately stay again.

Somersby Farm Cottage
We had a wonderful time at Somersby cottage. It’s so beautiful and peaceful. Our dog loved sitting on the deck and taking in the view and sniffing around the big, enclosed garden. Sally and Simon are perfect hosts. It was super easy to get to the beautiful beach and town of Umina and there are plenty of other things to do in close proximity. Thanks for an excellent getaway!

Romantic Cottage/LagunaRetreat
Beautiful and quiet country retreat, just as described. Firewood provided 🥰 nice and roomy with serene surrounds. Had a great little getaway here

Ironbark Cottage, Karuah
The accommodation was very comfortable and very well set up. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good. The location was quiet and peaceful yet not too far from the M1 which made it a perfect place to break my journey north. I could see that it would also be an excellent spot for a longer holiday since it is so well equipped and well located. Margeurite and her husband were lovely hosts yet respected my privacy. They were also kind enough to allow me to have my cavoodle inside. I would definitely stay again.

Cosy 1 Bedroom Cottage Fully Renovated
We would like to thank Jimmy for our beautiful stay. We booked last minute and were very surprised at the value for money. Such a beautiful well kept little place. Thoughtfully decorated, even down to the small details such as bed linen and towels. Would definitely re book :)

Paxton paradise-entire cottage
Such a lovely stay! The space was spotless, stylish, and had everything I needed. Would love to come back!

Clarrie's Green - Caldwell Cottage.
We had two lovely nights at Alan's place over Easter and it was just what the doctor ordered! Beautiful scenery and I loved seeing our kids get out in nature on the farm (and they especially loved the resident kelpie Buster, riding their bikes, collecting eggs, and feeding the calf). I hope to return one day.

Echo Beach Cottage
A truly wonderful weekend away. Such a warm welcoming feeling, the property and cottage is beautiful and instantly relaxing. The gardens create such a sense of tranquility and the house is full of relaxing corners to calm and entertain any guest. From books, to movies, games to cooking, you don’t even need to leave the house. The kitchen is so well equipped and the be beds were really comfortable. Every little detail, and more, has been thought of. The property is immaculately clean and full of beautiful art and decor. My kids (8 and 6) loved it too. Plenty to keep them entertained while my mum and I relaxed. The location is great too. Easy walk to the beach and loads of other activities nearby. Couldn’t speak highly enough of this stay. Thanks for a magical weekend away.

Urban Connection Farm Retreat
Beautifully kept property and amenities, and such a great place tounwind and relax. Alecia & Lloyd are wonderful hosts and they were proactive throughout the whole duration of our stay to make sure that our stay was relaxing & that all our needs were met. Was an awesome experience getting to meet their horses & feeding them.

Handcrafted Cabin in the Vines
Had an amazing stay at Crossing Creek Estate. Cabin was beautiful, comfortable and well provisioned for our family. Soccer pitch was a real hit with our three boys which allowed us to relax and enjoy the sunset over a few wines. Location is excellent with beautiful views and very peaceful. Will be back for sure.

Magnolia Cottage - Relax on acreage near Terrigal
Wonderful! First of all, Marie was so so kind and helpful when we messaged asking for a last minute booking: within an hour we found ourselves in the cleanest, most homey, welcoming space! Great quality was throughout: from the amenities to the finishes to the fluffy soft towels, this is what an Airbnb should be. Surrounded by peaceful greenery but close to everything you need.

Tranquil cottage @ Forries
Gails place was very cosy and comfortable for us and 2 kids. the kitchen was well stocked and we could cook there and there was a set of shops around the corner. absolutely no issues and we were well accommodated with highchair and kids plates etc. there was a selection of books and games and some beach toys which were appreciated. Gail was very friendly and helpful.
