About this property

Poppa's Place @ Dalwood, Hunter Valley Vineyards Farmstay

Support a rural farm! Escape away and breathe the fresh country air at Poppa's Place. A modern, architecturally designed 2 story home built to capture expansive and breathtaking valley and mountain views on a working olive and cattle farm - Poppa's Olives! Relax and unwind on the upstairs deck, enjoy the spoils of the wine fridge and stocked pantry. Cook up a storm on the deck's bbq or the custom designed kitchen. The indoor open fireplace is perfect for cosy nights with a great bottle (or two...) of Hunter Valley wine! Or enjoy a night under the stars and around the campfire with our outdoor firepit!

Located at Poppa's Olives - a working olive and cattle farm on over 200 acres! Poppa's Place is your perfect place to getaway from it all! With a totally unique 2 story design, it captures the most amazing sunrises and sunsets across the valley and mountain ranges. The large open-plan living style is more than spacious for 8 guests. Make yourself at home!

Of the four large bedrooms, two have walk in robes and one has a full ensuite and the bath that captures the most amazing valley views as you soak away your cares! Two bedrooms have private balconies, showcasing more amazing views over the valley. Have a big family? Ask us about how we cater for larger groups (there's an additional sofa bed and two day beds - just byo linen for them). Watch the kids play on the outdoor equipment as you relax around the outdoor firepit (fire regulations permitting - check with us). For the cavemen, grab the wheelbarrow and gather the wood yourself! Prefer the creature comforts? Enjoy the indoor open fireplace with complimentary kindling and firewood (and firestarters for the novices!). Take a leisurely stroll around the farm.. through the olive grove, around the dams, feed the cattle, horses, chickens and alpacas (just mind the cow pats!). Enjoy nature at its best!

And please be mindful - if you're all having lots of showers morning and night, you may run out of hot water... Welcome to farm life!

The beautiful Hunter River, swimming holes and the oldest winery in Australia - Dalwood Estate (once Wyndham Estate) are just 2kms down the road! It's 5 min to town, 15min to Hunter Vineyards and concert venues, 40min to Newcastle Beaches (and Newcasatle Airport) and 2hrs from Sydney.
So ... Come and getaway from it all, in the heart of the beautiful wine region!

My sister's family and my family stayed here for a quick weekend getaway for A Day on the Green. It was a great property and the kids absolutely had a ball. There was plenty of room for our two families. Would definitely love to go back.

Great Property
Fantastic house in a great location. Kids were able to explore the property and interact with lots of animals over our stay. Catherine was fantastic giving the kids jobs which they really enjoyed doing to help out on the farm with the animals. Extremely generously stocked fridge/pantry to make the stay even more comfortable.

Great holiday!
We came with family and friends, 8 of us all had a lovely, relaxed and enjoyable stay with Tony and Catherine. The place was amazing, great views from balcony and rooms, we saw incredible moon rise, sunset, milk-way, misty mountain…. So spacious indoor and kids friendly outdoor play area, with fun to play with chickens, alpacas, cows… will definitely go back next time. Highly recommend

Amazing property
Catherine and Tony have thought of everything you’ll need when you come to stay at Poppa’s Olives. The property was easy to get to. It was clean and well stocked with all the essentials. It’s super close to Pokolbin for wine tasting etc. it was cosy and Compton and it felt like home away from home. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

Weekend Laughter
The property was wonderful. The verandah with it's incredible view of the valley and mountains beyond was my favourite seating spot. The kitchen set up was brilliant especially the big stove and oven. Ample space for everyone and the kids had equipment to play on, and enjoyed helping with the farm chores.

Weekend Getaway
Absolutely loved our 3 nights at Poppas Olives, the kids said it was the best holiday ever, didn't want to leave and want to go back every year. The kids were in charge of feeding the animals, we absolutely loved the friendly cows, who would moo at us for food, Barry the horse was very cheeky and the alpacas, they spit. The view was amazing, it was so peaceful, the house was well stocked and spacious enough for 2 families with 5 kids altogether. Away from the Hunter buzz, but not too far to enjoy all the Hunter has to offer.

Great escape!
The property is just as described, and ideal for a friends or family escape for a few days. The kids with us loved feeding the chickens, and there was plenty of room outside for them to explore. We connected supplies for our stay at the nearby town, but the welcome provisions from Catherine (for both adults & the kids) were most welcome. All the facilities (kitchen, laundry, bedrooms, bathrooms) were great, and the supplied linen etc saves you bringing your own. Finally, communication with Catherine was excellent and appreciated.

Beautiful weekend away
Catherine was a lovely host! The home was lovely and so much thought that had gone into making our stay as homely as possible, from wine in the fridge, to bacon and eggs for morning brekkie, to a lovely kids basket with colouring in, glow sticks and torches for night time fun! A lovely, quiet and serene location with lots of wildlife to see. Highly recommended.
