Fantastic weekend getaway!
We loved our stay at Liz's place! The property is stunning and the photos don't do it justice! The dedicated club / pool room is a man cave of dreams, and the tranquil pool and firepit were a bonus. With two separate lounge rooms, the house is very spacious and big enough for two family's. We'll definitely stay again!

Perfect
Everything about the Mill Cottage was just perfect for a secluded getaway yet close to Hunter Valley wineries if needed, and the host is amazingly responsive, helpful and accommodating! The only minor feedback from my group was it would have been good to have pool towels on site or been advised to bring those, and also none of the TV remotes were working/had batteries. All in all, highly recommended and would stay again! Many thanks.

Spacious and plenty to do
We went for my husband's bday to visit the wineries in Hunter, we were a group of 10 and the house was huge! Rooms were a good size, kitchen was modern and there were two sitting areas. We loved the fire pit and if you have kids they is alot for them to do including a trampoline, sandpit, separate shed with pool table and games and plenty of room to run around. Location was secluded and about 15-20 mins drive from the main town. Only issue is there is no wi-fi and some of us had no reception.

Perfection!
The property was spacious, modern and homey! Our group was so comfortable. There is loads of indoor and outdoor space, we absolutely loved the games room out the back and the multiple fire places (with plenty of firewood provided). The kitchen is well equipped and the beds were comfy. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Third Stay, Always giving Slay!
This is our third stay at the property. Our Friends have all agreed that this will be an annual occurence! The property is fabulous! Has everything you require for a nice weekend away. Plenty of things to do, and the serenity is unreal! We enjoyed all three firepits/fireplaces and were plenty warm with each room having heating. The "shed" is such a huge plus! Was the perfect room to host our annual competitive cocktail competition! Thanks again Liz! Will defs be back in '24. x

It was very good but not for families that have small kids because it is very dangerous
It was very beautiful place, it had a lot of fun stuff and it had everything a house could need but the pots and pans were not good for cooking because the quality was not usable anymore.The bedroom service wasn’t very good we all got back pain because of the mattress.

Back again!
Our trip was originally planned for August 2021 but unfortunately lockdowns put that on hold. March 2022 we were finally back baby! This is my second stay at this property. Last time was nearly 5 years ago and was superb then. I had a few friends that had seen the home last time and a few that had were new to it. Wow wow wow! After the recent renovation this place has is even better! Which I didn't think was possible! Brand new kitchen with stone benchtops and an island bench, with quality appliances was amazing for myself that loves to cook and host! The new club house in the back shed was amazing and such a great space where you can relax and have a lil boogie. The home was so well equipped with games and things to do and even had a few pantry staples which was so welcomed. The bedrooms all spotless and the new renovated bathrooms so clean! The surrounds are gorgeous and we even found time to relax in the pool despite the wet and cooler weather. We will definitely be back, and have made a promise with our friends that we defs won't be leaving it so long! Thank you soo much Liz for your attention to detail, the lovely home and the the communication last year keeping me updated on what was happening with lockdowns etc. Thanks muchly!

Wine Country retreat falls short of expectations
Mill Cottage is a well refurbished property with many outdoor amenities to entertain a family stay. Communications and logistics were prompt and flawless. The cottage was clean and tidy. Kitchen facilities were fine and the bedding was great. Two shortcomings affected our stay. Firstly, as other reviewers have noted, there is only a single inverter AC in the upstairs hallway. This made keeping the cottage cool in the warm weather challenging. Secondly, the wi-fi wasn't available in the house to guests, which is a surprising oversight at a property in this price range and meant we had to stream over 4G.
