Unique Rockhouse, private jacuzzi, bush views

  • ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRY AT HUNTER RIVER RETREAT.

    If your looking to leave the city behind and unwind on the deck of your own private rustic cottage with stunning views, to sit back and sip a glass of fine Hunter Valley wine and do nothing but soak up the peace and serenity. Then a visit to Hunter River Retreat is a must!

    Perhaps a picnic on the mountain with a loved one, bushwalking on our many trails, spotting local wildlife including our kangaroos and wallabies or feeding our farm animals interest you, then picturesque Hunter River Retreat is for you.

Full Day Bus Winery Tours can also be organized that pick up from The Retreat - you can taste and not worry about driving.

    Rockhouse is a unique private fully self-contained cottage. It was built from rocks collected from the property. It has a private Jacuzzi spa .
    It has two loft bedrooms separated by the internal staircase, and 6 ft walls. One bedroom has a queen bed and the other has a queen and a set of bunk beds (2 singles). Splendid views of the valley .

Ahhh the serenity

Perfect place to spend time with friends relaxing and recharging. The spa was great and the rest of the Rock House was gorgeous. No communication with the property manager was great and the extra little welcoming touches made it really special.

Relaxing break at Rockhouse

Great rustic accommodation, clean and well serviced. Great location, quiet bush setting with wonderful views around the whole resort. Really enjoyed our break - Eloise was great at making us feel welcome and providing information to us , to make the most of the amenities. My two lads loved getting down to the river,, to fish and paddle board, as the river was calm and safe to swim in. Welcomed each morning by Smokey the horse which the lads loverd and also great to be able to use the on resort pool for a quick dip to cool off.. Highly recommend if you want a quiet, relaxing, away from the world experience.

It’s the cute rock house and seclusion for me.

This place. Don’t look at others. Just book this place. The aesthetic, tranquility, cute visitors (like Smokey the horse), the rain on the time roof, the beautiful rock formations in the cottage, awesome spa, little touches like the bubbling and sweets grazing box. Honestly, it was such a needed break away from life that we needed. The check in was professional & communication from Eloise was perfect. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

A quiet weekend away

The property is everything for a weekend away! It’s a very romantic setting but at the same time great for kids. Not far from the wineries but away from the hustle of the hunter. We loved it

We'll Be Coming Back

From the location to the cosy stone cottage, to the cute visits from Smokey (the horse) we had the best time. We felt like we had the whole property and land to ourselves yet we were so close to town and the Hunter Valley cafes ect. Clean fresh sheets and a comfy bed made for a great nights sleep, we loved the fire and the spa. Thanks for having us guys, we will be back!

A perfect stay

My partner and I spent a long weekend at Hunter River Retreat for my 30th birthday. It was perfect. Smooth self check-in, complimentary wine and sweets, private well equipped cabin, country vista, amazing sunsets, comfy bed and a hot tub! The highlight of our stay was a very cheeky horse named Smokey, who freely roams the property. He stole our hearts! I can’t recommend this place enough!

Wonderful and quiet little place to get away to , will definitely return !

Everything was just so simple and straightforward with booking and confirmations etc . The place itself was exactly what we were looking for and we definitely plan to return again . Could not fault a thing , we can't say enough about how great we thought this quiet little place was . Nothing was over the top, it was all just simple and comfortable and very relaxing.

Cosy retreat

We enjoyed our stay in the rockhouse. A beautiful spot to spend a peaceful weekend. There are, however, a few things the listing doesn't mention. While there are two bedrooms, they are not fully enclosed. Rather they are part of a loft area, and instead of walls and a door there is a small partition (roughly 6ft high) and a curtain. So if you're going with another couple, make sure you know them well! The other thing I should mention is that it isn't so much a fireplace as a wood heater. It's great at warming the house but it's positioned in a way that you can't really sit around it or in front of it. But despite this, we did enjoy our stay and would recommend it to others. The kitchen is well stocked and the deck is perfect for a lazy game of scrabble in the afternoon.
