Nice semi-secluded property which had great amenities. Our cabin was well appointed with plenty of linen/ kitchen equipment/ space for our group and was very clean. Overall condition of property was good, games room a little worn out but didn't detract from our stay. Would recommend for families or group stays. Good location in proximity to wineries and brewery.

Relaxed and Comfortable
Basic cabins but well presented inside, bed was very comfy and everything was clean and tidy. Only negative was the shower is very very small, and only minimal toiletries. BBQ facilities on site for each cabin and kitchen had everything we needed.

We needed somewhere to stay that was close to the venue for a friends wedding. The Belford cottages was the best value stay and we went in expecting fairly bare bones accommodations. We were pleasantly surprised at every turn and will definitely stay again. We were thrilled to find that tea, coffee, sugar and milk were provided, there were plenty of clean linens and we fell in love with the natural beauty of the location. We were visited by a lace monitor, a variety of birds and other native wildlife. plenty of parking for our group. The pool looked great but it was still a little chilly to try it out, we are planning to be back in summer to enjoy all the facilities.

Quiet and comfortable, but a little tired.
Wonderfully comfortable beds and nice linen and plenty of towels. Plenty of hot water, although we struggled to get the shower temperature comfortable. The kitchen could do with an extra dish or two, but had the necessary crockery and pots and a full size fridge, microwave and stove. Loved the countryside and the absolute quiet and the kangaroos, but the whole place needs a bit of attention. The gamesroom needs a thorough clean. Having said that, none of that mattered to our 2 grandsons who had a ball there.

Clean and tidy accommodation. Plenty of room inside the cabins. Great location in the Hunter Valley. Close to lots of local attractions and wineries. Very comfortable beds. Only issue was the water taps made noises all through the night which disturbed the person who slept on the sofa bed.

Forget it!
I received a text message about the cabin number and the code for the lockbox the morning of our trip. I missed it. The property phone number listed on Hotels.com is disconnected. As there is no onsite office, our friends - arriving first - ended up knocking on the door of a house at the back of the property to find out what cabin we were in. No answer. I finally found a mobile number through Google. Got a 'I sent a text message to this number at 8:15 today' answer. Customer service = 0! If you rent your cabins in winter, you need to insulate them. Weather strip on the back door to keep the wind from whistling in would also be a good idea. Overpriced, underdelivered! Never again!

Peace and quiet
Cottage (3) was nice and cosy, and very relaxing. Only problems in our cottage was 1) One window Had no latch or lock, in just slid open, so didn’t leave anything valuable when we were out( just in case). 2) Water pump is dying, water flow keeps alternating, got a bit annoying when having a shower. 3) The outdoor BBQ is missing a burner, so could not cook on open grill side. Just Little fix’s, and the place would be a Gem..

Comfortable cabins
These were self contained cabins so there was no hotel staff or hotel facilities. The cabins were basic but clean and beds comfortable. The community areas being games room was unkept and swimming pool full of leaves. We had booked for fourteen guests and had requested two king beds be made up as single beds and also the sofa bed was to be made up to accommodate two of the children. This was not done and when the management was contacted they were quite rude and told us that they did not know there was fourteen guests, although they had responded to our initial requests confirming that the beds would be set up as we had requested. However, overall all we enjoyed the serenity of the location.

We had to book last minute and were able to promptly get the booking organised. We enjoyed driving into wine country and being located within it. The cabins are spread out for privacy. The cabin was compact but neat and clean. Beds very comfy! Reasonably priced.

Perfect for a family holiday.
Beautiful setting - in a forest. There are other cottages on the site, but we did not see anyone, it was very quiet. We enjoyed BBQ, games (got them from an activity cottage in the centre) and walking. With our children (2 and 7), we loved playing on the beach volley court and on the playground.

Lovely cabin surrounded by beautiful nature views
It was easy to get to and a lovely stay, we had a 4 bedroom cabin that sleeps up to 10 people we went up with 2 children and they had a blast! There were 2 seperate bathrooms which was great because no one had to wait for the bathroom. Big beautiful table for dinner and very spacious and a big wood fire BBQ that we had fun cooking on. And the price was reasonable, we can't complain :) We had an amazing time! And the awesome owners even contacted me through out the stay to make sure we were alright and if there was anything we needed. Thanks guys :)
