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!

Adamae
We loved our stay here! Some breakfast food was supplied which we added to to make it last a couple mornings and we were able to cook using the supplied kitchen utensils and appliances. Was a very cozy home that was perfect for us while we were there for a wedding down the road 😊

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!

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 absolutely loved our stay here! It is exactly as described and shown on the photos. Very quite, beautiful cottage with amazing surroundings and wildlife. Our dogs just loved running around in the yard and waiting for the cows to arrive daily. Very thoughtful with candles and creams provided as well as a welcome hamper. Beds were super comfy with black out curations. Our dogs were so welcome and that made our trip so easy and enjoyable. We will defiantly stay here again! Only thing was we had no wifi due to the weather I think so just make sure you have your own.

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!

Yatta Cottage
We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Yattalunga Cottage. The house is spotless and has a great flow; the kitchen is well-equipped and spacious, and the backyard is super relaxing. We loved the little details around the house, painted rocks, paintings and trinkets. Not to mention, there is beautiful greenery both outside and inside. It really is a special place. Thank you, Josette, for having us; we will be coming back in the future!

Romantic Cottage/LagunaRetreat
Lovely service and clear communication. The place was spotless and very comfy and a perfect, quiet getaway

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.

The Absolute Waterfront Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at Pavla's. Everything was just as described. Both Luke and Pavla were very responsive to our needs and easy to communicate. Every little aspect was thought of for a family with kids. Heaps of books to read and toys were available. We also had the opportunity to borrow the kayaks and enjoy the water. The place itself was beautiful, pristine, close to a shopping center and was perfect for our family of 5. I highly recommend and we'd love to come back again!

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.

Tranquility by the Lake
Very receptive and warm hosts. Would love to recommend anyone who wants a nice cosy room lace besides a wonderful location which is the huge beautiful lakes just adjacent to the property
