Nice quiet spot and manager was lovely to speak to. Unfortunately we noticed a smell when we arrived which we discovered the next morning was likely from dog food and chicken mince packets left behind in the bin compartment. Linen appeared clean but we noticed a few stains on the lounge and

Nice, quiet place to stay with family or friends.

Fairly good place to spend with family. A little dated but cost effective for low budgets. The shower is small but the living area is a good size. Outside ther's also pleanty of space to have a bbq and play with the kids.

Lovely to be able to have the dog at the accommodation. A fence around the cabin's yard would be a huge improvement. Cabin is basic but fine. Would have preferred to see hard floors over carpets given pets are allowed inside.

Quiet, private cabins, ideal for larger families.

Very spacious in and out, particularly the kitchen/living area where you have a nice gas fireplace. Beds were comfortable. Toilet is dated but OK. At night, the wooden floors are very noisy, as is the metal roof when it rains a good shower. Overall, great value considering the privacy of the property and large outside area where the whole family can play.

Lovely property. Had linen and towels for all. Supplied soap, but not shampoo. Fully equipped kitchen. Fire pit was so much fun, kids enjoyed looking for firewood (of which there was plenty around). Kangaroos everywhere in the morning. Will stay again.

This is a great farm stay which is perfect for those families who have kids who love to run & play. My kids loved the walks through bush collecting firewood, the fire-pit and the BBQ, toasted marshmallows and coal-cooked stuffed potatoes. There's plenty of space for cricket & football.The cottage had everything we needed for a warm, comfortable and relaxing stay.

Quite ! Why not give the place a go

I was quite happy to lodge at the Hunter Hideaway Cottage
It was private and quite which I was looking for . While it’s not modern, I would still recommended staying if you need a base and don’t want to be disturbed
It’s isolated enough to just kick back and take in the local scrub land. It’s easy to get about the Hunter Vineyards.
There is a coffee shop up the road about 5 minutes by car if you wanted to grab a coffee before starting the day.
But otherwise the place is fully equipped to make your own
Paul the owner was friendly and helpful,

Very poorly presented cottage.

We had issues from the start, to list a few:
The TV would work.
There were copious amounts of Ants, bull ants outside and sugar ants inside.
There is no way to lock the door from the inside, hence very poor security.
The bunk beds do not have rails, and the ladders are extremely dangerous.
The feather pillows are shedding, which results in being stabbed in the face every time you move.
The bathroom had a bolt protruding from the floor, which my wife stood on and cut a hole in her foot.
The kitchen utensils were very old and of very poor quality.
The stove did not work.
The smoke detector did not work.
The general cleanliness of the cabin was not up to scratch, and there was dust on all flat surfaces and spiderwebs on all picture frames.

The 1 positive was the location, it was quiet and close enough to the hunter valley.

Beds

The description of the beds was inaccurate. On asking for clearer descriptions we found that 4 twin beds actually meant 2 queens and a sofa bed which did not suit us so we chose a cottage with 2 queens and 2 single beds however, the 2 single beds turned out to be bunks which for a group of women in our 60s was a challenge. Otherwise it is comfortable clean budget accommodation and it that is what you want then I would recommend it.

Relaxation and fun

This was my 4th visit to hunter hideaway cottages since 2013 and it remains as a favourite holiday destination. The cottage was clean, tidy and had everything that we needed. Plenty of kitchen stuff and enjoyed the new couch and new bed spreads. The cottages are lovely and rustic and that's what we loved. No need for Internet or foxtel when your in such a gorgeous environment.We spent most of our time outdoors and enjoyed sitting on the balcony with the sun streaming in and in the evening sitting around the camp fire. Plenty of seating available. My sons loved gathering sticks to build the camp fire and did not watch one minute of tv as they were so busy playing outside. We enjoyed walking in the paddocks and spotting kangaroos. We went to snow time in the gardens which was great and visited Audrey .
Wilkson. The pet shop in Braxton was amazing with loads of birds, fish along with piglets, puppies and guinea pigs in pens that you could pat. I hesitated when making this review as I feel this place is so very special and undiscovered! I don't want to miss out in the future! Thank you to Paul for giving my family the opportunity to experience a lovely few days of fun and exploring. We will be back and can't wait!

nice place but not what we thought it was

Cottage was old, there were cockroaches throughout the kitchen. Literally everywhere. The fly screens on the Windows had holes all through them and the cottage was full of moths and mozquitos at night making it uncomfortable to sleep. There were dead flies in the kitchen and a wasp got in through the fly screens which was a worry having a 3 yr old with us.

Pleasant Stay at Hunter Hideaway Cottages

Hunter Hideaway Cottages are 4 self contained huts on a rural property 5 minutes outside Branxton, just off the New England Hwy or M15 Motorway, so its well located to do things in the Branxton / Maitland and surrounding wineries area. Our hut was very clean and comfortable. We were only there one night and it would have been nicer to have a couple of nights more to relax. Our hire car GPS didn't seem to know about the M15 Motorway and took us all over the place, but Paul the owner gave us directions over the phone to solve our dilema. The cost was reasonable compared to a motel, and I would definitely stay there again if in that region.

Nice bush stay

Overall we had a good stay, the first evening we started to hear noises in the wall cavity (where the insulation is) on the west side of the cabin, where the bed heads are, I thought it was a colony of mice and called the owner, he advised there are microbats living there. I beleive we should of been informed of this as they make loud noises most of the night as there are probably 100's of microbats there. The owner said I have been meaning to place a sign in the cottage to inform people unfortunately this is something that should be advised before you check in.
