STAYZ HOLIDAY HOME FINALIST 2019

The magnificent and truly unique Hunter Valley Lodge and Retreat is set on over 5 beautiful acres of lawns and gardens and has been designed and furnished with every comfort in mind. The Hunter Valley Lodge and Retreat is located in the heart of the wine region with spectacular views and minutes from absolutely everything the Hunter Valley has to offer.

This amazing lodge boasts 11 spacious bedrooms and 8 bathrooms accommodating from 16 and up to 33 guests in comfort and style. With magnificent wrap-around verandas, a large refreshing swimming pool and a relaxing jacuzzi/Hot Tub, a huge games room with a billiard/ pool table, table tennis and cinema, a bocce court, outdoor chess, croquet area, a kids cubby house, a huge impressive entertainment and sun deck with stunning views to the Broken Back Range. The Lodge is the perfect solution for large groups or corporate groups that want to spend time together but also enjoy their own private space.

As you weave your way down the tree-lined driveway you pass our two life-sized bronze deer that watch over this very special space. The Lodge’s interior has been modelled on a traditional Canadian Hunting Lodge and Chalet, with the central lounge focusing on a huge stone fireplace and soaring cathedral ceilings, which provide the ambience to the rest of the lodge.

The main building features a modern semi-commercial gourmet kitchen with quality appliances including two large ovens, two dishwashers and absolutely everything you could want or need to create your own Master Chef meal. The large dining area has a magnificent custom-made oversized table and offers a relaxed atmosphere where guests can dine together and enjoy the peace and serenity of this beautiful setting.

The Retreat which is adjacent to the Lodge has its own brand new kitchen and a lounge area plus a further outside entertainment area.

This unique property was built for large group self- contained accommodation in the Hunter Valley. It is perfect for large groups of friends and family and also for small weddings and corporate off-sites and conferences. You can relax on the deck in the evening and hear the roar of the four lions, who are our newest neighbours at the Hunter Valley Zoo. Surreal!

The Hunter Valley Lodge and Retreat consists of four buildings only minutes apart; The Main Lodge, the Retreat, the Lions Den Studio and the Bison Den games room and Laundry. The Main Lodge has six spacious guest suites and five bathrooms. The Retreat, which is adjacent to the main house has a further four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. The Bison Den is our games and cinema room. The Lions Den Studio is a quirky modern converted shipping container sitting in a private location at the rear of the property that can be rented in addition to the Lodge and Retreat (not included in price ) giving you an 11th bedroom and 8th bathroom if required. If you have a smaller group then you may be able to reserve the Lodge or the Retreat only midweek.
