NOISE:

This is a strict no party house, bucks or footy weekends. We understand that every group is different, but we do not make exceptions.

The property is in a Environmental Conservation Zone area and council regulates outside noise, to ensure the valley stays quiet and neighbors aren’t disturbed. Although this is a 2.5 acre property, sound travels and is amplified in the valley.

Please keep in mind:
- There is no amplified music allowed outdoors at any time.
- There is no noise allowed outdoors after 10pm, its best to move the socialising indoors after that.

If this might interfere with your weekend away plans then please reach out to discuss.

We use NoiseAware technology to monitor the decibel levels outside the house.

In cases of noise complaints that are not addressed on request, we reserve the right to use contracted security patrol cars to remove all guests from the premise mid-stay with no refund.

All booking requests need to include confirmation and agreement to the 10pm noise curfew outside.


GUEST NUMBERS:

Please ensure you have the correct guest numbers so that we can provide enough linen/towels.
There is a 60/person/night charge for all guests after the first 10 guests. This is already included in the price, unless there’s changes to the initial enquired guest numbers.
• No smoking
• No parties or events

Great family getaway
Great place for a family with all ages! The kids had so much to do- trampoline, feeding the ponies, the pool, multiple movies, playing pool, marshmallows around the fire pit -& the adults were able to cook, relax, go to nearby beaches for coffee/run. We had all that we needed. It was a lovely, comfortable stay, Hosts communication was clear and helpful, and we had a warm welcome with mulled wine to greet us! Highly recommend!

Great group getaway.
The place is incredibly well set up. Lots of entertainment for young kids and us big kids for our very wet, long weekend. We had 4 family’s with 4 children under 3 and it was completely safe and secure to let them roam in each different area. The pony’s were a big hit as well. Couldn’t fault communication with the owners either. Highly recommended.

Definitely well accommodating place from spacious rooms, kids room, media room and playroom. The whole family enjoyed how private the neighbourhood was as next house was a few 100 metres away each direction. 5 stars!!

Family 80th birthday
Our family of 15, enjoyed spending time playing cards on the verandah overlooking the valley, and swimming in the pool. The slide was great fun too. The teenagers loved staying in the cabin . The kitchen, laundry was well stocked and the outdoor drink fridge was a winner. We had a great time here.

A gem in central coast
We stayed in Picketts valley for a week and loved this house. It has many bedroom so it is ideal for friends and family. The layout makes it a real entertainer and the garden is the bomb with the fire pit. Location wise it’s also very central. The owner was very helpful and quick to accommodate us. We enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who has kids.

Wonderful family weekend away
Beautiful property with everything you could ever need, lots of space, plenty of toys and activities for the kids, close to Terrigal and Avoca. Only one minor problem ... the grass hadn't been mowed and was quite long but otherwise a well maintained property and we would highly recommended it 😊

Best weekend ever
We took our family to celebrate an important birthday. Nine adults and 4 children under 5. The place is so beautifully set up for little children that our littlies has a ball. The deck with the outdoor table overlooking the valley was so peaceful, it was a favourite for everyone in the family.

A few days in paradise just a short drive from Sydney
This property was perfect for our family get away. It had lots of space and activities for the children. Well appointed and very well situated. The pool was a hit with everyone and also the ponies! The play area was great as well as the oval for kicking the ball and playing generally.

Unforgettable Weekend
We were looking for a good getaway to tour the family and friends but what we got was an amazing and memorable 3 days 2 nights with eveybody. The house is more like a home away from home. Everything that we need was already there even to the little things, owner Daniel and Sharon really thought of everything. It was great to wake up to great smelling coffee or tea which was provided in abundance. The place definitely well accomodates a big family. The dining area can extend to the verandah which rewards you with a great view. Activities in the property was ample as well and with kids to entertain, it's not hard to do in this hiddem gem. There's the swimming pool that attracted laughter and excitement, the very expansive field to kick ball and other outdoor activities, not to mention those three lovely little ponies that our children loved to feed. Meanwhile the adults can enjoy the pool table downstairs, the kids can again entertain themselves with a variety of cards and board games or maybe biking around the property. The owners really thought of everything to cater from the youngest to the oldest members of the family down to colourful plates, spoon, forks and cups for the kids. This lovely home is definitely a keeper and we will never hesitate to recommend it to families and friends and even post to our social media. We anticipated a good weekend away from the bustle of the city, but what we were given was a memorable celebration. Thank you Daniel and Sharon and we were glad to have found your place.

Over due weekend away
This house in Pickets Valley has everything we needed to entertain my group of friends and children over a long weekend. Lots of space for everyone and there is so much to entertain the children; from the pool and playground, to the craft room in the garage. We were lucky enough to enjoy nice weather and made the most of the outdoor facilities. Would recommend for large groups of friends or multiple families.
