North Lodge Estate Cottages

Two self-contained cottages on 25 acres of native bushland at Pokolbin: Highland Cottage with two bedrooms and Clan Cottage with three. Both look out to the Brokenback Range, with gardens, a fire pit and open lawn across the grounds. Having a full cottage instead of a room gives a family or two couples space to spread out, plus a kitchen and living area to settle into.

The Old North Road setting is minutes from Pokolbin's wineries and restaurants, so you can be among the cellar doors quickly and back to quiet in the evening. That parkland keeps the two cottages well apart, so it reads as a retreat rather than a complex. Check in before you arrive, since reception keeps business hours, and let them know your timing so someone is there.
