The Kookaburra Cottage is well-suited for a couple or a couple with children. In addition to the Queen-sized bedroom and a bedroom with 2 single beds, the cottage features a well-equipped kitchen, a cosy lounge, and a bathroom with a two-person spa.
Quality linen and towels are provided, and the kitchen is fully stocked for cooking. Guests will also find a gas BBQ on the veranda. Simply bring your food and drinks, and you're all set.

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed
Bedroom 2: Two Single Beds

Kookaburra is free standing, self contained cottage.

Madigan is a self-check-in property with a check-in time after 3pm. After booking, details of the check-in process will be sent to you. We always strive to accommodate early check-in and late check-out requests, so please inform us if you plan to arrive earlier than the set check-in time.

Madigan Cottages has 5 self contained cottages on 100 wide open acres. We also have Stomp! Wine operating their cellar door on site. You'll find lot of nature including kangaroos and rabbits as well as waterbirds on our dams. We have some paddocks with agisted horses and even fish in our dam!

You'll need a car to get around Hunter Valley, however, there are small bus operators that service the wine region and are happy to drop into Madigan to pick you up

There is plenty of open land for walking, biking, or simply relaxing on the verandah (or at the cellar door located on our property) to enjoy the tranquility and beautiful sunsets.
On your departure, we appreciate if you can
•Leave your accommodation in a tidy state.
•Quick wipe of the kitchen surfaces to keep insects away.
•It’s ok to start a dishwasher cycle and leave, if your cottage has a dishwasher, but please wash and put away any utensils not in the dishwasher.
•Turn off lights, heaters and air conditioners.
•Ensure that all outside doors and windows are closed and locked before you leave
•Leave your stay key inside and just close and lock the door behind you on exit.

Guest numbers
Your accommodation has been booked for an agreed number of people and beds. We trust that you will let us know if there are any additional guests, so we can adjust the fee.

If your cottage has more beds than you have booked for, we would appreciate if you can leave them untouched. Washing and cleaning are our largest costs, so your consideration is appreciated.

Linen
Bed sheets, pillow cases, doonas, bath towels/face washers for the booked number of guests will be in your cabin prior to your arrival. Unless expressly arranged for longer duration stays, sheets and towels will not be replaced during your stay
No need to pull beds down on departure. We would prefer you just pulled them up into a neat and tidy state. Please leave towels/face washers in a neat pile in the bathroom prior to departure.

Noise
You have 4 other guest cottage neighbours and neighbours adjoining the property. Noise travels a very long way. Music should never be excessive. 10pm is a good guide to stop any music or excessive festivities from emanating from your cottage.

Please be considerate 24 hours per day.
