Edenview - a large house, set on a beautiful and scenic 5 acre parcel in the Hunter Valley.
Set up for entertaining - and relaxing - and is situated within a few kilometers from the foot of the Watagan Mountain Range in Quorrobolong, just 2 hours north of Sydney.
Edenview is a scenic 25 minute drive to Pokolbin and local wineries, boutique restaurants and the Hunter Valley Gardens, yet just 12 -15 mins drive to Cessnock for all your grocery needs and 20 minutes from the M1 Freeway from Sydney.
As the name suggests, the 180 degree views from Edenview are just magical, capturing the mountain scape and rolling hills of the beautiful Hunter Valley.
Edenview is our home. We love animals, so we understand that you may wish to bring your fur babies with you on your holiday. There is a totally fenced half acre dog proof yard to keep your fur babies safe and happy. We ask that your fur babies are kept outside where they can be undercover and safe and not allowed indoors at all.
We have a horse called Leo, 2 miniature ponies, one called Sonny, the other Franklin, a sheep called Coco we a resident chicken family on site where you can collect fresh eggs daily straight from the nest boxes - except for winter time when they stop laying. (We try and leave fresh laid eggs in the fridge for your use if we can as well).
There is also a cheeky cockatoo called Maxi who loves to say Hi when you arrive and ‘Bye’ when you leave.
Inside the house, we have a large fish with multiple goldfish live.
We take our dogs with us when guests have booked the property, and our 2 cats are kept locked up safely in the large shed on the property with plenty of food and water.
WINE TOURS
Edenview have teamed up with some of the best Wine Tour companies in the Hunter Valley.
There are both half day and full day wine tours available, plus shuttle bus companies that will do transfers to concerts or local restaurants. Rover Buses pick up from around the corner at a very reasonable price, and most chartered buses you arrange will pick up and drop off at Edenview, so no need to haggle about who is the designated driver! :)
Edenview caters for family groups to larger 'friend' groups!
Edenview is set up to cater for large groups or families.

There is a Security Bond of $700 which of course is fully refundable after 7 days of check out, subject to our T&C’s being met.
NOTE: Charges are based on the bedding required. If you have only 6 guests the first night, but 12 guests the second night, the rate will be calculated on the 12 guests i.e how much bedding is required for the whole stay.

There are 3 spacious and comfortable living areas:
TV ROOM - large plasma TV, Foxtel, along with a great selection of DVD's, so if the weather isn't so great, you will still have plenty of indoor entertainment to choose from.
FAMILY ROOM - has an extendable dining table and a slow combustion wood fire, perfect for that cosy meal on a cold winter's night. The futon lounge in the family room is perfect to sit on and just take in the amazing early morning views, as you enjoy your cuppa.
PIANO ROOM - which is probably supposed to be called a formal living room, has a lovely old piano, an extra comfy lounge and that special spot to enjoy a family sing-along with others, or a get away on your own with a great book.
Our large, well equipped gourmet kitchen has stainless steel appliances, gas cook top and a fridge with built in filtered cold water/ice dispenser. Plus the view from the kitchen is stunning!! (Makes you actually doing the dishes! :)
Outside the family room, there is a 10 seater BBQ table underneath a large covered pergola area. A 'Firebox' pizza maker (which is used in the BBQ), and a fire pit for a winter bonfire means that a weekend away has endless capabilities for a creating a wonderful and memorable holiday. We also have spare outdoor chairs.
NOTE: Outdoor security cameras are installed in the driveway area only.
CONCLUSION:
Once you have experienced the peace, beauty of nature, and solitude of Edenview, you may not want to venture anywhere else. But if you did decide to explore more of this beautiful centre of the universe, the hub of the Hunter Valley is not far away. Wineries, outdoor concerts (in season) and boutique restaurants are all within an easy scenic driving distance away. We can even advise you on how to organize a charter bus to take you to and from a concert if enough notice is given prior to a concert.
