Valley View Cottage

A self-contained four-bedroom cottage on five private acres near Pokolbin, sleeping up to eight across one queen, two doubles and a twin. Two patios, covered verandas, a gas BBQ, a hilltop gazebo and a courtyard fireplace all take in the valley views. Inside there's a full kitchen with dishwasher, a lounge and dining area with a log fire, two bathrooms and a laundry. With no other business on the property, the whole place is yours for the stay.

That exclusivity suits a family or a group who want room to spread out rather than a single room in a larger complex. The five acres and outdoor entertaining areas make it a place to settle into for a day or two between cellar door visits. They prefer direct bookings to keep third-party fees off the price, so contact them and check the availability calendar for your dates.
