The Parson's Vineyard Retreat - get amongst the vineyards in a historic home
With a flood of natural light splashing on the white walls to fill the indoor space with warmth and huge glass panels, all of which can be opened so allow the refreshing cool breeze from the nearby dam or grove of trees, makes this the perfect location to runaway to.
Boasting a large outdoor deck and BBQ facilities, it will be a tough task to find a more suitable spot for a summer evening.
THE IMPORTANT STUFF -
3 spacious bedrooms sleeping up to 10 guests.
Bedroom 1: King + Single
Bedroom 2: King + Single
Bedroom 3: King + 2 Singles
**This is a rural property with an open dam so please keep this in mind if booking with younger children or non-swimmers.**
How We Price: The booking price is based on a minimum number of guests. Any guests above this number are chargeable on a per person/per night rate. The system will automatically calculate the correct rate when you enter the required number of guests. Reductions in guest numbers are non-refundable.
Arrival Details: Access to the property is made easy for you. We will send you an access code just before 2pm on your arrival day via SMS and you will use this code for the duration of your stay.
Linen: 1 set of full bed linens and 1 bath towel per person are supplied. Guests may wish to bring extra towels depending on the length of their stay. Pool/Lake/Beach towels are BYO
Guest Amenities: We are Eco-Friendly - we do not supply Shampoo, Conditioner or Body Wash. Guests are reminded to prepare & bring their own personal bathroom products/amenities. We will continue to supply Anti-Bacterial hand soap in a pump pack + Kitchen Necessities/Basics.
Wi-Fi is provided complimentary on behalf of the owner. It is intended to be used in an appropriate manner by all guests. As the service is provided by an external 3rd party, Weekenda cannot and do not guarantee the speed or efficacy of this property's Wi-Fi connection nor do we pay any compensation for interruption of service for any reason.
Fires and Firewood: Internal wood fireplaces and outdoor fire pits only operate after the NSW Easter School Holidays up to before the NSW September School Holidays in line with NSW state fire restrictions. Please note: we will normally supply enough firewood, kindling & fire-starters for between 1-2 nights of your stay. For guests wishing to have additional fires, we suggest BYO Firewood, Kindling, and Starters which can be easily purchased from the local service stations.
No Party Policy: All reservations operate under a Strict No-Party & Non-Excessive Noise Policy as prescribed in the NSW Short-Term Letting Legislation and Local Council Laws. This property is in a Residential Area. Failure to comply can put the security bond into jeopardy and may lead to police-assisted eviction and/or extra charges being levied. We hate to have to note this but the reality is that so far this year we have had to evict 3 groups for overstacking/bad/anti-social behavior.
Extra Guests / Visitors: The number of people nominated on your booking is the maximum number of people that are allowed to be on the property at any one time, including visitors. Visitors may be requested and if approved must be approved in writing with Weekenda staff. Simply put, if Mum and Dad want to come over for a BBQ then we are likely to approve. If 10 extra people want to stop by we are unlikely to approve, which could put your booking at risk. We will always try to be reasonable with reasonable people within property constraints and House Rules.
Cameras and Noise Monitoring: There are no external security cameras at this location presently but the owner reserves the right at any time to install external cameras at their discretion. Any camera install will be in line with local regulations. A noise monitoring device is installed - fines apply to guests found to have disconnected, removed or damaged the noise device. These devices are used to monitor and maintain ours and guests responsibilities under the NSW STR Code of Conduct.
Guest Registration / ID Check : Weekenda requires every guest to complete and sign an electronic guest registration prior to arrival which will ask for photo ID i.e. a copy of your Drivers Licence or Passport. The primary booker will also be required to complete a list with the guests names and actual mobile numbers. In the event we are unable to reach the primary booker, it is very important we can get a hold of other guests. These documents will be deleted after your departure. Access Codes are only released to Registered and Verified Guests.
Critical Update: Due to an unprecedented influx of fraudulent bookings, we are forced to impose a policy that protects our clients, industry and community against those attempting to commit fraud and theft. Any booking made within 5 days of arrival is required to provide a photo of a valid credit card in the same full name of the primary guest to match the supplied identification document. Failure of these documents matching will result in the booking being cancelled and all funds processed returned to the original card assumed as stolen and thus a fraudulent transaction. We trust we have our honest and genuine customers understanding this policy is in place to protect all parties.
Insurance: As always, but ever so more due to recent times, we strongly encourage any holidaymakers to obtain a very inexpensive 3rd Party Domestic Travel Insurance Policy to cover you for all manners of matters which may restrict travel. This is particularly helpful for things like Hunter Valley Concert cancellations, Covid or Medical and Other Emergencies for which we don't provide refunds, and anything which falls under our standard Terms & Conditions irrespective of the reason. We suggest reviewing policies with 'Cover-More' or 'Travel Insurance Direct' or 'Insureandgo'
This property is managed by Weekenda, a licensed real estate. Weekenda staff are available 7 days a week to assist from your initial enquiry through to your departure and everything in between.
We look forward to having you stay with us.

My group of friends and I absolutely loved Parsons Retreat. We have already planned to come back very soon. Could not recommend it enough!
- Sasha
Lovely and tranquil setting tucked away in a few vineyards with kangaroos hopping about. Location is perfect for getting to wineries in the region. Be prepared to ride along a long gravel/dirt road to get to the house. You’ll need a car wash after the trip is over! :) Stylish space and great touch with Tim tams, milk and wine in the kitchen. Enjoyed our stay as 3 couples.
- Kaitlin
We had a really lovely stay with the Weekenda. Such a beautiful peaceful spot to holiday. Really great location for the wineries and the amenities were great.
- Jessica B
We had a girls weekend here. The beds were so comfortable, and having ducted a/c AND a fireplace in winter was amazing. It would be great if the deck was covered, as it rained while we were there - but that is minor. We had a great, relaxing time
- Alexandra S
Parsons is in a beautiful and tranquil location. It is close by to all of the big attractions in the Hunter Valley. The place is setup well with thoughtful touches that makes it feel like home.
- Jake
I highly recommend this property if you are after a relaxing weekend in the hunter valley. The house is decked out with quality inclusions and gives you a real sense of history. Plenty of room and the deck is perfect to sit back and chill in the afternoon. Great service from Weekender with regular communication and a very easy check in and check out process. I will definitely stay here again
- Amy
The Parson's Retreat is a beautiful old house overlooking a winery and dam - very peaceful setting! All the rooms were beautiful and clean. There was lots of space for the number of people. We had trouble with the oven, and after calling the number at 830 at night, Peter found the solution and called us back straight away. Highly recommend the house, lovely for a group of people to get away.
- Suzie
Girls Weekend Getaway
AMAZING! Myself and 9 friends stayed at this beautiful house for a weekend away and could not fault our experience. It is a great location, close to the popular wineries and Coles is only up the road. The house itself was beautiful, so clean and the lookout from the balcony is gorgeous. Would love to get back there soon. Thank you!
- Georgia C
We loved staying here! Beautiful spot - surrounded by vineyards and kangaroos. The space is beautiful, and well equipped
LOVED staying here! It was the perfect place for our group
- Josh I
We had a fantastic time staying at Parson’s Retreat. The house was very clean and well presented. Loved the interior of the house. The beds were extremely comfortable too. The surrounding property was beautiful and very relaxing. Loved seeing the kangaroos, ducks and bird life. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Parson’s Retreat and would definitely come back!
- Cathy
Nice property in secluded location.
- Bob R
The view of the lake and vineyard is so much better than the photos!

- Sonia
"Great home wonderful surroundings, comfy bed."
- Shirley
A great value location, feels secluded and private, but only about 15 minutes from a supermarket. The contact-free check in was quick and easy, and the house was roomy and clean.
- Alexander
Lovely Hideaway
Lovely property - well decorated and stocked (including all basics (even mozzie spray!) and a complimentary bottle of wine). Very comfortable beds. Nice view over a dam and private vineyards. Lots of kangaroos and even a friendly herd of pigs. We really enjoyed just chilling on the verandah. Up a long driveway, so very quiet and peaceful.
- Angela S
We had a fantastic time and loved the house. Great staying in between the vineyards, and the two bottles of complimentary wines were absolutely delicious. We will definitely stay again!
- Alison
Great place, local to coles, very nice people around

- Rebecca B
Great place for a big group
- Catherine
Beautiful place with stunning views - will definitely come back one day!
- Evelyn
The home has beautiful old world features with an amazing vista that instantly brings a sense of relaxation and calm. The weather was great so we sat mainly out on the decking but if it was cold, the long big windows and fireplace would give a great ambience also. Very roomy and comfortable beds.
- Faye
Wonderful spot to stay with friends and family for a long weekend in the Hunter. Absolutely everything you need, and more. We really enjoyed our stay.
- Lee
Beautifully located house, within a short drive from many wineries. Parsons retreat was an absolute joy to stay at and I would highly recommend to anyone looking at a quiet retreat in the Hunter. Thanks again Weekenda! Parsons was fantastic and would certainly recommend to others

5 Star Stay
We had an absolutely wonderful stay here with our friends visiting from overseas. The beautiful view, wallabies and miniature ponies made our stay even more special. Hosts were extremely communicative and we would highly recommend this accommodation.
- Manasi
This place is a wonderful house to stay in Hunter Valley for a weekend (or more!), Perfect situation in the middle of wineries, perfectly cleaned and so cute !! We hope we can go back somedays to enjoy this beautiful house !
- Melodie
The most beautiful airbnb. The photos do not do this place justice! Thank you for having us.
- Hana C
Great place for families with pigs behind the house!
- Darae from Annandale, Australia
Nestled between a sizeable pond and two vineyards is this beautifully renovated home. Initially drawn to the interiors, it was the calmness of the location that ultimately won us over! We would enjoy breakfast sitting on the deck and watch the wind blow across the long grass. The communication from the hosts was perfect and the home had everything we needed and more. I couldn’t recommend this place enough for a weekend getaway. Thank you for having us!
- Anisa
"Gorgeous home. Private and secluded, with amazing vineyard and animals (pigs came up to us to eat on the deck!). A little hard to get to as all the properties on the road have the same address, however keep following the unsealed road and signs to Parsons and you’ll find the gorgeous home! Exactly as pictured. Great heating as well"
- Emma
This place has it own private vineyard and is seculed. House has everything you need and its so beautiful. Planty of Kangaroos, we loved it.
- Kian
Great location. Peaceful. Wonderful outlook. Fire was fantastic in winter
- Brett
Beautiful and spacious house in a secluded location overlooking vineyards. Worked well for our group of three couples.- Collin
We spent a great weekend at Parson’s. Incredibly picturesque surrounds including vineyards surrounding the house. Felt like we were miles away from everything but a quick drive down the road and you’re in the thick of the beautiful wineries of Pokolbin. Loved sitting by the beautiful fire and enjoying the books on offer.
- Ed
nice venue very peacefull
- Steve

Our stay at the Parson’s Retreat was amazing. The house has everything you need and located in the perfect location!- Jin
An absolutely gorgeous property that is even better than the pictures! Set on a vineyard that is a short trip from the wineries and is great for groups. Beds were great, big entertaining areas, stunning views with wildlife plus the luxury of the aircon made our trip perfect. Great hosts!
- Emily
Wonderful house with detailed check in information! The living room was absolutely lovely! The house is surrounded by vineyards and beautiful nature (spotted a few kangaroos hopping around in the morning). The only unfortunate was the slow wifi speed in a place where mobile data service was insufficient.
- Zhiyong
We really enjoyed the privacy, the location and the heritage of the property.
- Julie Z
Do yourself a favour and book this accomodation for a weekend! Doesn’t get any better then this!!

Weekend family getaway
The accommodation was great & we really enjoyed our stay in the house, it was cosy and the beds were very comfortable.Wineries were only a short drive & there is a great new Coles shopping centre within 5min drive. The local wildlife was a treat & we even had a family of shetland ponies visit us each nite very entertaining. We'd definitely stay again
- Tim J
We had a wonderful weekend of wine & snacks on the Verandah at Parsons Retreat. The house is spacious and comfortable, decorated with so many gorgeous little things! The owner was lovely and we were super appreciative that he popped down on his farm bike to help fix something for us. We are all currently looking for an excuse to come back!
