• Renae (10/5): Our stay at Merlot Cottage was magical and we will be back again! - I loved how quiet and peaceful the property was and all the special touches including the breakfast hamper and complimentary bottle of wine. We had everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking and plenty of platters and cheese knives for a nibbles board. There was also ample fire wood for the fireplace. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like. The only feedback I have, is perhaps to stock a roll of paper towel in the kitchen.
• S.D (8/5): great 2 days whislt in the valley for a wedding - breakfast great , hosts great, cellar door excellent, surrounding area great.
• Paul Pollard (10/5): Will be back - Beautiful place
• Andrea (9/5): -

• Michael (10/5): It was perfect for our stay as we attended a wedding right across the road. - Cosy, yet plenty of room for 4 people. Everything was great
• Ciele (10/5): Such a great little stay! - Such a great little stay! It had all the appliance you could need plus the included breakfast and wine was so nice, it’s the little things that make it so great. It’s a good location to nearby breweries and eateries.
• Simon (9/5): - Location was awesome, cottage was very clean. Danielle was very welcoming. Nothing everything was to a very high standard
• Tracy (10/5): -
• Ethan (10/5): - I enjoyed the serenity of the property and it had lots of space for the kids to run around outside. The breakfast provided was very nice with an added bottle of wine which was a great gesture. Nothing that was in control of the owners power but we must have come in bindi season as my kids learnt the hard way.
• Neil (10/5): We'll be back again. Perfect location and just a nice feel. - The big things were first class - location, cleanliness, amenities. But it was all the little things that made this a great stay. The property itself, breakfast, their own wine. Danielle was terrific. No screen door on the front. Not a major problem.
• Christoph (10/5): Traumunterkunft in den Winelands ! - Gastgeber und Gastgeberin waren sehr freundlich und hatten viele Tipps, vorab bereits gute Kommunikation. Das Häuschen ist ein Traum, war überraschend groß, super schön eingerichtet, sehr gepflegt und es fehlte an nichts. Im Garten Schafe und in den Reben die Kanguruhs und viele Vögel. Als wir ankamen brannte der Kaminofen und es war mollig warm. Wir haben uns gleich sehr wohl gefühlt. Auch die Weinprobe ist zu empfehlen, der Wein ist sehr gut. Auch den Kindern hat es super gefallen. Wir würden sofort wiederkommen! Da gibt's wirklich gar nichts zu meckern !
• Jo (9/5): -
• Katy (10/5): Cosy vineyard cottage - We had a wonderfully warm welcome and were delighted with the generous breakfast hamper. The cottage had a lovely homely feel and was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Nestled on the vineyard, it was peaceful and relaxing - we would definitely come back!
• Anita (10/5): We enjoyed our stay and would come again. Danielle & Declan are really warm hosts & staying at a small vineyard - It was clean and welcoming with wood all chopped & ready for the fire. Also had split system aircon. Cozy! Fresh organic eggs from the chooks in the backyard, bacon, bread, butter & a good selection of cereals. And a bottle of wine included. Beautiful firepit outside where we toasted marshmallows. So nice to sit there and watch the sun go down, hear the birds and then the frogs. Beautiful starry night sky too. Really nice wine & cheese tasting where Declan took us through all the wines and explained the good pairings. Don’t miss this! He is a wealth of information. Felt double beds were a bit small as our beds at home are huge. Ok for a night or two though.
• Louise (10/5): Exceptional - Location, facilities, amenities, hosts Our stay wasn't long enough 😉

• Vikki (10/5): Highly recommend for a perfect stay in the Hunter Valley - We were so impressed and happy with everything during our stay. The cottage is so cute and comfortable and a perfect location. Sitting in amongst some of the vines and so quiet. The breakfast supplies that were provided were a lovely surprise and very appreciated. We would definitely recommend McCaffrey's Estate and will stay here again next time we are in the Hunter. Thank you so much for making our Hunter stay so perfect. That we had to leave
• Adam (10/5): - A lovely stay, very accommodating and helpful
• Thompson (10/5): The reset we needed - Danielle and Declan made sure we had toys and setup for the kids to be happy and comfortable, with the animals and vineyard at the doorstep making it so special, making memories. My husband and I had a bottle of rose waiting for us, to enjoy after the kids were asleep, overlooking the sunset on the vines, with wallabies right near our door. Close to all the activities but also, a great spot to relax, with a day by the pool, enjoying nature. Exactly what we needed.
• Ludmila (10/5): Cozy cottage in wine world - Beautiful cottage located in small vineyard with nice view. Comfortable beds and having bbq was a gem.
• Bonnie (10/5): - Such a great place to stay. Super nice cottage run by such great people. Really nice to have wine tasting at the cellar door. Great to have a pool and so many chances to spot animals
• Ruston (10/5): - Danielle was a fantastic host! So easy to communicate with, and has really thought of everything with the property. We stayed here for a weekend with our 6 month old and had the best time! We were even able treated to some bread, milk, bacon and fresh eggs upon arrival - not to mention the bottle of wine. Would recommend this property to all our friends and family!

• Tracey (10/5): - We had a fantastic time at McCaffrey’s Estate. The cottage was perfect for our family of 3. Everything was clean and tidy, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The bread, milk, bacon, eggs and wine added a lovely personal touch. The pool was lovely and refreshing on our first afternoon. We had a wine tasting experience with Timothy that we really enjoyed as well. Would highly recommend McCaffrey’s and we look forward to returning again soon.
• Jason (9/5): Declan and Danielle were perfect hosts, the location was second to none and the facilities perfect - Location was excellent and the wine tasting that Declan organised for us was excellent, the wines were great and the match cheese was a great touch.

• Denise (9/5): Superb -
• Anastasios (10/5): The stay at McCaffrey’s made for a memorable weekend. - Quiet , serene location. With a country vibe. Walking the vines , early morning was a nice way to start the day.

• Michelle (10/5): Host Danielle was wonderful, cabin was clean, cozy, location perfect. - My friend and I loved our stay at McCaffrey's Estate which was perfect for our long weekend getaway. The cabin was what we imagined, had everything, clean, cute and so cozy especially with the fireplace on cold nights. They also have their own winery to visit and taste. The host Danielle was so lovely, welcoming which made us feel so at home with a lovely bottle of wine, bacon, eggs and bread for breakfast the next morning. The position of McCaffrey's was in a perfect location, still close to all shops, wineries, attractions etc., but still had that beautiful quiet nature country feeling. If you are looking for that quiet relaxing atmosphere, I would recommend McCaffery's. Nothing negative to say about our stay at McCaffrey's.

The free firewood and ice creams, the little blankie draped across the crib, the board games and baby toys. It made our trip easy! We were never bored Honestly everything was great! But if I had to nit pick, the kitchen table was really sticky. Even after a good wipe down. I think it could do with a good sand and varnish. But it really wasn't a big problem at all.
