Guest Reviews

• Liba (10/5): Beautiful view, comfortable houses (we had all property for 15 ppl) and lovely hosts - We loved our hosts and Lauren was also our tour guide for the afternoon wine tour (recommended!). It is always hard to find a place with 15+ bedrooms for our annual team trip and this was perfect, plus really comfortable. Commercial kitchen in the country house and kitchen in all houses, plus BBQ in every house. Hot water was great, A/C worked (heating, this is July). We also loved a cafe - only Friday and Saturday mornings. As we cook dinner ourselves (as a team), our gracious hosts put our delivered groceries away, so kind and helpful. Note - woollies only deliver certain days, coles was fine for Thursday. Thank you very much!
• Inga (10/5): Well worth the visit. - The cottage was great.Very roomy and very comfortable.The fire was awesome. Can't wait to go back. We had to leave.
• Anonymous (10/5): Highly recommend! Would easily stay again! - Gareth & Lauren went above and beyond to accomodate our needs. Also enjoyed great coffees! The lounge area could use a heater
• Chun-tzu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jane (10/5): Such a lovely location! So good for extended family to stay together for a wedding close by and would definitely recomme - Everything so much space very homely Cleaning supplies were not available. No extra garbage bags or spray & wipe. We made do with what was available though and this didn’t take away from our stay at all
• Rachel (9/5): Superb - Hosts were very nice and were able to offer an early check in. The house was cleanand offered all the amenities and facilities we needed. Plenty of room for 5 adults. The beds were super comfortable.
• Xenia (9/5): Private spaces for communal gatherings, makes this picturesque, country domicile delightful! - A wonder perspective from all rooms and plenty of room for our family group to spread out into! It was unfortunate that the master bedroom couldn’t have access to the walk-in wardrobe. Leaving little space for clothes, particularly hanging. Other than that, every room was wonderful with their own en-suite AAA
• Bobbiejo (10/5): Thank you for our time in your lovely property and love the French coffee van and crepes too - Our stay was perfect and we had a great time! The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly and well will be back !
• Melissa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tracy (10/5): Will be back! - Bluebush is set in beautiful landscape and the lodge draws you out through the expansive windows, while inside the huge fire keeps you cozy. We loved the character and space, the crepes and coffee were an added bonus for Sunday brekkie!
• Vaughan (10/5): Exceptional - The location and the very comfy house as well as the hosts, just beautiful people
• Garry (9/5): Superb - The cottage was spacious, very comfortable, very clean in a quiet and wonderful rural location settled amongst several vineyards. Hosts very easy to communicate with and very attentive.
• Kymbeley (7/5): Fantastic property for groups in a great location. - great place for a group of friends or family. comfortable beds and lovely setting. nice toiletries. easy access and communication by host via messages. big tv and pool table kept everyone entertained. walls are very thin..so not much privacy between bedrooms. some basics supplies like salt and pepper would be great in the kitchen along with some kitchen cleaning cloths..we couldn't find anything to wipe down counters..only one Tea Towel.
• Ali (9/5): Gareth and Lauren were very nice and welcoming! I loved the place and I’ll definitely come back . -
• Daphne (9/5): Superb - Amazing view, clean and beautiful chalet with 3 large bedrooms with ensuits. Regret not booking for longer period.
• Karyn (8/5): Very good -
• Piergiorgio (10/5): Excellent place, I can only recomend it - Beautiful house, excellent view from the porch
• Brent (5/5): Disappointed with the cockroaches. Over $800 per night should not have any of these issues - Nice ammenities with the tennis court, pool and pool table in the house. Beautiful outlook We had a bad problem with cockroaches, the kitchen was infested with them! Made the stay unpleasant knowing every time we went into the kitchen we would be dealing with more. Air conditioning in the main living area also didn't work

• Micael (7/5): Good - We stayed in the country house. Great space for our 3 families. Nice outdoor bbq area with a large table for dinner. Got a small pool and tennis court. Facilities are getting old and needs a refresh. Vines behind outdoor dining area have died which is a shame.
• Jasmin (10/5): Comfortable, centrally located, beautiful grounds! - Very homely and comfortable. The grounds are magnificent with lots to do! Bonus kangaroos around the property too.

• Dangi (6/5): Pleasant -
• Lynette (8/5): Very good -
• Sushil (5/5): Passable -
• Rijal (1/5): Unfortunately, the property fell short in terms of upkeep. Despite staying in the premium chalet. - Positives: Location: The property is situated in a great area, making it convenient and pleasant for guests. Outdoor Facilities: The tennis courts are a fantastic addition, providing excellent recreational opportunities. Scenic Views: Wildlife enthusiasts will love the backyard, where kangaroos are a common sight, adding a unique charm to the stay. Negatives: Swimming Pool: The pool is too small, which may not meet expectations for guests looking to relax or swim. Housekeeping Issues: The premium chalet we stayed in had a lot of mess, indicating a lack of proper upkeep. Value for Money: The facilities and condition of the property do not match the high price charged, leaving much to be desired. Outdated Amenities: The overall facility feels outdated, which detracts from the experience.
• Adhikari (10/5): Exceptional - I recently stayed at this wonderful house I booked through Booking.com, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The house was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities one could need for a comfortable Overall, my stay exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.
• Ighani (7/5): Good -
• Alison (9/5): The property was just lovely. We will certainly go back again when we have an event in the Hunter . Very comfortable wit - Lovely comfortable beds , plenty of room for all of us in living areas, lovely open grounds with beautiful outlook , spacious bathrooms, very comfortable house and outdoor sitting area . Would definitely book again! Small but mentionable for next guests as we do short term rentals on our property Milk - small long life in the fridge for guests. Fresh to open on arrival.
• Sallie-anne (8/5): We had a great time - thank you - Very pretty property and quiet. Plenty of room for the family. Clean and comfortable. The property is a little dated, but that perhaps made it more reasonably priced.
• Thapa (10/5): Exceptional -

• Leisa (8/5): Very good -
• Daly (9/5): Superb -

• Glenn (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful location and outlook. Very clean and comfortable. Thank you.
• Frank (7/5): It was good, but the place is looking a little tired & might need some updating. Other than that it - We did have breakfast as we had to leave early for a Air Balloon flight Only 1 pool que, and it had no tip. By the time we realized this it was after 8pm & we didn't want to bother anybody.
• Gaurav (10/5): Exceptional -
• Adit (10/5): Exceptional -
• Shelley (8/5): Very good -
• Tony (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kristie (9/5): Superb -
• Craig (8/5): Great accommodation with a warn welcome - Your own cottage on a farm. Nice environment and great welcome ! Liked the idea of a wine tour run by the Estate and the " fire Pit Package." I would suggest that adding to the packages would be a BBQ package ?
• Renalyn (10/5): It was a beautiful home, kept neatly, in a very quiet area and we really enjoyed our stay - Beautiful place, clean and lovely views around the estate We tried to use the bath tub and it had brownish colored water coming out of the tap, so we stopped using it.
• Valerie (7/5): We had a very pleasant stay, the location was perfect with a beautiful outlook. - Location, the house was close to the Wineries and it was in a quiet area, with beautiful garden and mountain views.The bedrooms were a good size and the house was very clean and comfortable. Great for family gatherings. The house is a little tied and could do with some updates, not a lot but a few. The ironing board didn’t have any padding which made ironing clothes difficult.
• Angie (8/5): Very good -
• Jesna (9/5): We had a very lovely stay.. - We liked the quiet location Everything inside the house was clean and well arranged..
• ขันธเนตร์ (10/5): Exceptional -
• Olga (8/5): Very good -
• Melinda (10/5): Amazing two nights stay and will be back for a longer one - Amazing location very relaxing scenery. The facilities were excellent, billiards room, tennis court and swimming pool. We stayed at the country house and it was spacious and every room had an ensuite. The staff were friendly helpful and also organised my dad’s birthday wine tour as well as his birthday cake.
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - Ecerything ......
• Tony (6/5): It was a great little holiday, would recommend it to families. Great location good facilities. - The overall stay was great. There was a few cosmetic things but nothing big.
• Eryka (9/5): Superb - Great location and facilities. Rooms were large , with each having their own in suite. Hosts were very accommodating and friendly & brought a clothes line for us when requested, and fixed the main bedroom light immediately when I advised it wasn't working. They also provided (without us asking) games for the kids to play during the rainy weather. I needed to use the net to clear the pool of leaves prior to having a swim. Also, some extra utensils in the kitchen would have been great, with some lighting above the stove top.
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - Probably the best place we have stayed while in Australia. Clean excellent accommodation and set in idyllic surroundings. There was nothing we disliked. Could not fault it. Don't be afraid.
• Abhijit (8/5): Wonderful and peaceful stay - Linda had us upgraded to the cottage and it was wonderful gesture by the owner. the cottage was outstanding and the family loved it. thanks a lot. there was a group of young people at the lodge who probably thought the snooker room and the TT area was private area and had their stuff all over the common place as if it was their private area. my understanding was that its a shared zone so we took to play a snooker game but they came in to swamp the place.
• Suman (10/5): Exceptional - Wow, excellent, spacious, over expectations Bit bigger BBQ
• Caroline (7/5): Good -
• Gray (10/5): If you are looking for the perfect place to stay look no further than Bluebush Estate! - The Booking was handled by Weekenda, as Linda and Steve were away on Holiday at the time I made the booking. The 1st thing that stood out for me, after the initial management of the booking, was the friendly reception we received from Linda and the consideration we were given when finalising the finer details of our booking. Linda and Steve were so accommodating. Our Family, 10 people in total, stayed in the Bluebush Country House and it was gorgeous. Every room in the house was well-appointed, and each bedroom had its own ensuite! The grounds include a vineyard, tennis court, pool and billiard room. Our family were in the Hunter Valley for a wedding and Linda personally assisted us with driving us to the Venue. Great location furthermore. We didn't just like our stay we loved it! We didn't like having to leave!
• Sylvia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Soozen (7/5): Nice for a weekend escape. - The property is large and quiet, plenty of room for a group of friends or probably more suited to family groups. We could see hot air balloons in the morning. For the overnight cost, it wouldn't hurt to have something in the room as a welcome, even a bottle of water would have been good. The water chugged brown from the taps so not sure if this is the general case or perhaps not used for a while. Bedding configuration was confusing. The tennis court, racquets and ball need an update.
• Elena (8/5): Very good - Great location and hospitality
• Sukhwant (1/5): the barn is rip off,don’t book it.Staff was rude - when I booked it it didn’t shows me that it’s the barn..! Barn is been renovated from inside as house.!but the roof is all tin..so if there is rain it is very noisy.or if there is over 30” you can’t sit inside gona be 35” the barn is not made for night stay..!!!It was full with bugs and ants..!! I won’t recommend to anyone .They should stop barn for booking.!I booked it for two nights ,but I ended up only one night and I was out by early morning..!!cz in the barn it’s very easy for Snakes or other insect can get in there, even when I was trying to go bed it was full with Ants..!! so it’s rip off
• Michelle (8/5): Very good - Inside atmosphere 👌 Outside shed look if calling a barn give a barn atmosphere
• Isabella (10/5): Exceptional -
• Matthew (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maddison (9/5): Superb -
• Cathy (9/5): Superb - Beautiful barn conversion and so spacey. Handy to everything in the Hunter Valley. Lounge was a bit dark but kitchen was just beautiful. Could do with a skylight or window. That nobody came to check in at all with us during our 4 day stay. We saw nobody. Would have been nice to see someone and change towels but I suppose we did have privacy. Also cleaning staff were outside our room at 9am when it was a 10am checkout and it made us feel rushed.
• Anthony (6/5): Satisfactory overall. - Good location, and nice area. As previously said, there was broken glass my 2 year old picked up and we were lucky she didn’t cut her hands or put it in her mouth. Dirty water was a little unpleasant also.
• Barry (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ben (10/5): Exceptional - The chalet was spacious and was excellent for the grooms party to get ready for the wedding We couldn't find any bin bags to restock the bins
• Kareena (10/5): Perfect house and location for us - The place was perfect for us 12 ladies it had everything that we could have asked for. Very spacious and beds were so comfortable. everything was great
