Kelman Cottage - tucked away with pool + views + native wildlife

Great place to be with a big group of people. You are amongst the wild animals, horses and cows. Great getaway from busy Sydney!! Clean, tidy and good location.

Cosy, comfortable house on acreage in the hunter. Nice drive to the vineyards, local shops only a 6 minute drive away. Very clean, accomodating owners, we bumped into them on Saturday and even asked if there was anything else they could do or if we needed anything.

- Tony from NSW, Australia

Awesome place to stay! Got to feed kangaroos and was close to vineyards.

- Juliet

Great venue for those wanting to spend time with family and friends. It is a 30 min easy drive from the Hunter with Coles only 19 mins away. House was very clean, well presented and importantly cosy and warm for our winter getaway. Would be just as perfect in summer with an undercover lounge area with pizza oven area overlooking swimming pool.

Mr
Wow,Wow.Wow We were 2 families and had a great time. It’s great for families. It was very clean. Great location. Everything someone needs.Tucked away but close driving to everything. The children were able to play without a worry, they fell in love with the horses. We honestly had the best time and would recommend this to everyone and will definitely be back. Thank you Jarrod and Erin the kids can’t stop talking about what a great week we had and how good the accommodation was.

- Fernando from Sydney

Perfect holiday getaway

Kids loved the horses, pool and roos. Perfect house to enjoy the countryside

- Sandhir

Had my best airbnb stay ever. The place is huge and amazing. The owners are super friendly and everyone’s there to help. Very nicely located for a perfect getaway. The horses and kangaroos surround you and you feel so lively. Highly recommend it

- Raghav

Very efficient communication via Weekenda. Online check in was an extremely easy process. We had a young family group staying at Kelman cottage, house was all airconditioned and ready to take us in, and Erin and Jarrod were fantastic hosts and so patient with our children when taking them on the rounds to feed the animals and answer all their questions! The house was stocked with basic pantry items and the coffee machine was great! Just make sure you dont leave sweets out as the ants will come running! The pool was perfect for our kids and the kids were free to roam the property. Would love to come back and visit in the future!

- Kimberley

Great property for a group of friends who want to enjoy the Hunter Valley region. Photos don’t do the property justice. It was beautiful.

- Cassandra

Booked for 7 people in Hunter Valley and it was fantastic. The property was amazing and very clean. Everything ran smoothly with Weekenda crew also. I’d totally recommend.

- Victor L

What a wonderful place to stay for the weekend! Just wish we could have stayed longer! Owners are wonderful and let the kids feed the animals, which of course they loved. Would highly recommend"

- Ashley

Stayed 3 nights with 6 adults and 3 kids. Plenty of room for all in the property. Nice and clean, comfy beds. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Excellent amenities, the fire pit and pizza oven were a hit. Would love to come back in summer to use the pool. The kids loved helping feed the horses and cows and patting Dennis the friendly Clydesdale horse. Great location only 15 minutes to the wineries. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend this property!

- Elizabeth

We loved the place! It was well equipped and styled plus a great outlook. The indoor fire and the outdoor fire pit were ideal for the cold winter nights. Highly recommended!

- Anthony

This place exceeded my expectations! Perfect little getaway for families and friends. The photos shown on Airbnb do this place no justice! From the little touch’s inside the home (plenty of love put into it) to the beautiful nature and wildlife outside, aswell as the pool and bbq area. It was very clean and beds were also very comfortable! Also aircon through out the whole house. Would definitely book again in the near future! Thankyou to the sweet host krista

- Linda

We, 2 adults and 2 teenagers, thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay at Kelman Cottage. Hosts Erin and Jarrod have thought of everything to make their guests comfortable including kitchen supplies, coffee pods, toiletries, farm fresh eggs as well as use of the BBQ and pool. Beds are super comfy and the cottage is fully air conditioned, spacious, clean and tidy. The farm is well located, not too far from vineyards and restaurants, all making for a great stay for us. We highly recommend Kelman Cottage, it exceeded our expectations, thank you Erin and Jarrod. 

- Jenny

I loved my stay at hunter valley so much! It was such a beautiful property, the photos didnt do it justice! The views are amazing, especially from the outdoor area with the pizza oven & the pool, simply gorgeous. The property had all the ammenities & more .

Even including board games that we got to enjoy & a very much needed coffee machine.  Couldn’t recommend it enough!

- Nic

Clean, well located and relaxing

- Tamara

We had a beautiful night stay. Thankyou. We loved it very much.

- Maree

Absolutely beautiful area. Dennis the horse is an absolute babe. We had a really nice time. It’s so peaceful which everyone needs sometimes. Sunset and sunrise was insane. The house next door is a little to close if your after a empty property feel but we didn’t see them and it felt like you were by yourself which we loved. So don’t be deterred. The house was gorgeous. Honestly I would go back in a heart bit. Best place I’ve stayed In forever. Thank you! The pool and bbq area is so nice. And vineyards are super close which is a vibe. Everyone had enough space and it’s a great house for a get away.

- Tallulah

I couldn’t recommend Kelman Cottage enough, it was so clean and just beautiful with stunning views. Will definitely stay here again!!

- Hannah

“- Awesome property with lots of land to explore - Amazing for kids to run wild and be happy - Dennis the horse a great little touch, my kids were obsessed - House itself spotless and plenty of room for 2 families and 9 of us all up - Will not search for anywhere else next time I come back”

“Weekenda went above and beyond when I sent an SMS asking for additional firewood. Overall 5 starts across the board, can't fault it at all, will return to book here for sure...”

- Duncan

Loved the house, beds were comfortable and clean, the outdoor space was beautifully designed and furnished! Such an amazing accommodation

- Emma

Great place, great hosts, we thoroughly enjoyed the property.

The location of this house was amazing with sunsets that didn't disappoint! Not too mention the entertainment that Denis provided! Everything was sparkling clean and very spacious for a group. Weekenda was very helpful in answering our questions. I would definitely stay at this cottage again!

- Emily

Great place for our family to stay. Description matched what was listed. Easy check in. Clean and tidy.

- Lacie L

Such an amazing experience. I stayed here with a group of friends for a nice relaxing week away. A beautiful property to experience a farm stay. Very modern, safe and clean. Definitely worth a rebook.

- Dorothy

We had such a beautiful and relaxing time away at Kelman Cottage. The house is gorgeous, well equipped and very unique. The property is well looked after and the pool was definitely a bonus. Great value for money and I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

An amazing home surrounded by beautiful serenity. The house provided us with everything we needed and more. Would happily return again.

"My friends and our crew of teenagers had an amazing two night stay. We could have stayed longer. The cottage was great, the pool and pizza oven area was amazing and the location was stunning looking out to the mountains. The horses and kangaroos added to the feel. We would not hesitate to stay again and highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for a comfortable farm stay in the Hunter Valley."

- Angela

Great weekend away after changing the dates a few times. They were very helpful and accommodating for me. Definitely recommend.

- Leisa L

Amazing place. Very clean with all required amenities. Spacious and quiet place. Definitely recommend this location for anyone travelling to hunter valley.

- Dinal

Great for families with young kids
We had a young family group (incl. 7 kids 9yo and under) staying at Kelman cottage, the house was all airconditioned and ready to take us in, and Erin and Jarrod were fantastic hosts and so patient with our children when taking them on the rounds to feed the animals and answer all their questions! The house was stocked with basic pantry items and the coffee machine was great in the mornings! Just make sure you dont leave sweets out as the ants will come running! The pool was perfect for our kids and the kids were free to roam the property. Wildlife and animals on the property kept kids well entertained.

- Kimberley F from Emu Plains

"This place was absolutely stunning and we will definitely be going back!!"

- Lucy

We just loved our stay - perfect for a family break - facilities were all that could be asked for and service was awesome

- Gianel

Had a fantastic 5 nights at Kelman Cottage with the family and both sets of grandparents. Everything ran smoothly from checkin to check out. The kids loved the pool and interacting with the animals, particularly Clydesdale Dennis. What a beautiful horse. We also found a friendly little frog that kept coming out to say hello and loved a pat. The location is wonderful for exploring the area with the wineries all within 15-20 minutes away, it's also easy to explore the upper hunter as well, we visited Muscwellbrook, Singleton and several other small towns. I particularly loved the small town of Braxton nearby with their amazing local Butcher and pubs. The Cottage is very spacious and provides ample room for everyone to have their own little place to relax. The bedrooms are large and comfortable beds. One bathroom caters for disability access which came in handy for my parents. I'd highly recommend for a family getaway, the cottage and the pool is more than ample to spend a long weekend relaxing and the proximity allows easy access to the local sights. My tip though, make sure you study where the turn off is from the highway, can be easily missed if you haven't done your research. Great place, I'd go back in a heartbeat.
