Greg, Dawn and Sam were the perfect hosts and looked after us in every way possible. The property was beautiful and peaceful all tucked away in the valley. Our 2 year old had a great time and was very sad to say goodbye, but has come out with some new phrases; "Horses like carrots" and "Sam likes his ball".

Hosts were very welcoming - even happily accommodated my request for an earlier arrival time. Property was easy to find and is as pictured. I had access to everything I needed, kitchen was stocked with basic breakfast supplies which meant I didn't have to go out and buy breakfast. Hosts left me to potter around and do what I needed to do without interrupting or feeling like I had to interact with them. Bed was really comfy, with enough beds for a small family. The property is quiet, 'off the beaten track' and is perfect for those seeking time away from the city. Highly highly recommended - looking forward to returning! Thanks Dawn and Greg!

Fantastic place to stay. No words will describe how well it is suited, furnished and equipped. Its like the little relax oasis. We loved it there and will definitely come back.

Such a fun stay for my family and I. My two young girls loved playing with Sammy the dog and looking at the beautiful horses Greg works with. Greg is a legit cowboy and this couple are really friendly, helpful and respectful of privacy. We had a lovely get away and the accommodation had everything we needed and more! We'll stay here again for sure!

Greg was extremely warm and welcoming. He gave us great advice for dining and entertainment around the ranch. The rooms were clean, well decorated and full of board games, DVDs, etc for kids. The kitchen was very well stocked. One tip for prospective renters is to ensure that the doors are all closed at night, there were some mosquitoes. Overall a great experience and beautiful region. Thanks, Greg!

A cosy and comfortable stay with a flexible host. Great part of the world.

Great location with amazing views for a long lazy breakfast. Dawn was very welcoming, the place was just as described and the area was full of things to do. And not to forget Sammy, the resident dog who was a bundle of fun.

A very nice and peaceful stay indeed we had at the ranch ! We will be back !

Beautiful home in a secluded and peaceful area in the countryside. There are nearby neighbours but you wouldn't know it. We stayed on an extremely (unusually) hot weekend, but ordinarily you would be able to enjoy the amazing deck and big backyard. Amenities were renovated new and very clean. The service of the hosts was impeccable - we had a stocked fridge and everything needed for a quiet a weekend away. Phone reception was difficult however the hosts offered the landline and reliable wifi which was all we needed. The local cafe was friendly, starry night was beautiful and the scenery was gorgeous. A lovely weekend away, thanks John and Sarah.

Farmstead was a wonderful location for a peaceful stay to soak up a bit of countryside. The property was stunning, with a range of great walks clearly indicated on a map of the area. Lynne was a great host - responsive and attentive, yet in no way intrusive. The farm produced eggs were a great bonus and a morning swim in the pool a brilliant way to start each day. We would return without hesitation.

Idyllic and peaceful, this is a beautiful farmstay in a very clean and comfortable home away from home. Views are just spectacular. Hosts were very warm, friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend - the perfect family retreat.

Easy getaway from the city. Super clean and family friendly. The host was wonderful. Definitely going back again.

Cedar Tree Farm provides best farm-living ambiance and experience for us. Despite of its remote location, the house was lovely, occupied with enough equipments to serve a family stay.

Christine was very easy to deal with and was very accommodating. She was quick to respond to our last minute booking. The location was beautiful, the house was clean and fully stocked. Instructions were detailed and communication was clear. I highly recommend this location, the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye. Simply stunning.

Overall it was a disappointing stay at Cedar Farm. It is a beautiful house and surrounding, and if you want to be completely shut out from the outside world then this is a great place to go. But the lack of farm animals (it's called Cedar farm - and the advert pictures had numerous cows displayed) meant the kids were really disappointed, and the non existent or extremely weak wifi meant i was unable to work and even surf very basic web sites (I spent a lot of the weekend in the car parked outside the local general store to use their wifi). For the price we paid (over $900 a night) I would expect better than that.

Thank you to Christine my stay at Cedar Tree Farm was a pleasant experience. The description to the house was accurate and you will get to see horses and cows in the farm at your doorstep. I haven't met Christine in person but she is prompt in getting back to me via email and message. The house is quiet and peaceful so if you are after a relaxing family getaway this would be perfect.

We had a wonderful relaxing overnight stay. The cabin was perfect to just 'get away' and the outside open fire was beautiful.

If only we couldve stayed longer! Such a beautiful place and so different to what we are used to experiencing. Dinah was very accomodating and obviously puts a great deal of care into the place while giving us more than enough space to feel like we were miles away from anything. We would reccomend her place to any of our friends without hesitation.

Dinah was a warm and friendly host and the cabin was great. A recommended get away location!

Dinah is a wonderful host! She greeted us upon our arrival, showed us where to locate everything and gave us tips on beaches and villages to check out. We couldn't have asked for a better experience than we had here! Games, movies, books, TV/DVD player, all the essentials in the kitchen and goat's soap! This little cabin is not to be missed. My partner and I were looking for some quiet away from Sydney and got just that! We enjoyed the serenading of the frogs, fed Jazz the horse some yummies and sat by the pot belly fire after a storm rolled through. LOVED it!

Dinah and her husband were great. The cottage is wonderful and isolated, surrounded by animals and silence. Jazz, the horse is sweet and having a fire in the front yard is something you can't miss. Gaia and myself enjoyed the place and will recommend to anyone. Great choice.

Dinah's Cottage was all that we could have hoped for and more. Well appointed, private and comfortable. We were made very welcome and enjoyed a timeless weekend watching birds, clouds and stars pass us by. The outdoor shower was a treat.

An absolutely charming cabin - complete tranquility and beautiful in the rain. Dinah was a lovely host.

Lovely cosy cottage with many personal touches. A great country break from the city yet really easy to get to from sydney, everything we needed for a romantic break. We loved the horse and the chickens goats and pig.

If you are looking for a very special place to spend a quiet and relaxing time, surrounded by Nature, birds and art, you can certainly stop at Thistledoo! The founder of this beautiful place is such a warm and caring host, Lyndie who will conquer you in no time with her natural welcoming nature. Everything was just perfect: from the French music welcoming us, to the delicious and fresh breakfast, to all the little attentions Lyndie had for us. Just one warning: you will be so addicted to the peace and beauty of the place, and to the daybed on the deck, that you will hardly want to leave! Thank you Lyndie for sharing your piece of Paradise with us, we'll be back!

Lyndie has created a wonderful place to stay in a beautiful, peaceful location. There are a lot of home comforts and it's easy to relax at Thistledoo. The attention to detail is impressive. Lyndie is a very welcoming host and the breakfast was very generous. I would love to stay again and sorry I had to go so soon!

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had a really lovely time - Lyndie was friendly and so thoughtful in making sure we had everything we might need. The atmosphere of the area is intoxicatingly relaxing - it was incredibly hard to leave and we hope to return one day!

Lyndie is an absolute kind hearted and the most hospitable host I have ever experienced. My experience in her beautiful home has been more than amazing. The beautiful artworks and tranquility of the location made it very easy for me to relax and unwind for the weekend. I can't recommend her enough! 5 stars!

This property is amazing! Perfect for a city escape. The house is beautiful with lots of sunlight and outdoor adventuring. Melanie did so much she set up fires, provided board games everything looked beautiful. Definitely would recommend and plan on going back

Amazing place in a very beautiful spot.

Floury Baker is a wonderfully quirky property in a beautiful bush setting. Our party of 2 families with kids ranging from 7 to 14 felt we had found a magical place. Melanie was kind enough to check us in and show us the ropes. The kids had fun exploring the bush, swimming at the waterhole, kayaking and riding bikes. Cooking outdoors on the campfire resulted in an incredible dinner. There are plenty of places to relax outdoors and listen to the music of the bush. Indoors has many little nooks to while away the time with a good book. The fireplace was enjoyed by young and old. We would highly recommend a stay here if you are looking to spend some time "glamping" in a scenic part of NSW.

A group of 10 of us had the most amazing weekend at Mel's place. We swam in the creek, sat by the fire, saw wombats, cooked on the BBQ and lay in the sun. Couldn't recommend her place highly enough. Make sure you also check out the Great Northern Trading Post Pub, it's great.

Mel was an incredibly lovely host and her property is super beautiful. In the most lovely, secluded area, it feels like paradise. It's off the grid, but very comfortable, and they've put a lot of thought into maximising their guests' relaxation and enjoyment. Thank you for sharing your beautiful slice of nature, we felt right at home and will be back.

Our trip to Laguna was amazing, the property was so exactly what we were looking for and arriving at night in the rain to a house lit by solar lamps and candle light with fire wood at the ready and surprises every corner you look. We felt like kids in a secret hideout. It was amazing. The perfect mix of back to basics living with cosy creature comforts. Can't wait to come back!

We had a great time, it's a wonderful place to unwind and escape. The pool, outdoor BBQ area and deck dining area were amazing.

Its a very good house for party!all of us have a fantastic time there!Ph il is very nice and help us make the activity be much better. Thanks very much! :D 这个地方非常不错!很适合大家聚会,位置在山里,很僻静,房东人也非常好,很开心可以找到这么好的房子!

Hi Phil, A hassle free experience, great location and had everything we needed. Didn't have time to fully relax and explore due to the wedding pressures but was the ideal place to chill out. Heaps of room for the little kids as well as the mums and dads. Like to go back for a more restful time. Terry Jackson

Phil was extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful before, during and after our stay. The house was a perfect getaway. It was quiet, picturesque, relatively easy to find (thanks to Phil's thorough directions) and surrounded by quintessential Australian bushland. The pool and outdoor patio made for the perfect barbecue and afternoon swim. Could not recommend a better bushland getaway and a more welcoming host. Thank you Phil!

Phil was fantastic! Amazing house and everything was in place. Photos don't do the place justice. As for neighbors, there are none! If you want to escape the rat race and relax, this is the place for you.

Lovely big house. Ideal for a nice group. We would love to come back but found a couple of problems. We had no way to communicate with the outside world. The line line didn't work and the Internet password wasn't correct. There was no mobile signal so that was a bit of a worry. Also, the house wasn't the cleanest. We paid a $100 fee and had to clean the whole kitchen and lounge ourselves. It was dusty and kitchen top was sticky. The hot water wasn't on so has to have a cold shower before going to the concert in the day that we arrived. We didn't have time to wait for it to warm up. Please pay more attention to things like this in the future. Thank you.

Fantastic stay and absolutely serene and wonderful. Dare I say the photos don't do it justice! Thank you so much Phil, we had a wonderful time!

Great place to go with a bunch of friends and relax by the pool. Everything worked as advertised and the care taker has it in good shape.

6 of us stayed at Lyrebirds over the long weekend. Richard was an amazing host, friendly and very quick to reply to enquiries. The house and property are stunning, and there are plenty of very comfortable pieces of furniture around the house and on the deck, leaving you with plenty of places to relax and enjoy the serenity.

A unique and homely property that satisfied young and old alike. The open fires kept us warm and the beds ensured we all slept well. Bush tennis court was a bonus and we could spent much longer exploring the local area. Richard was an excellent host with great timely and clear communications throughout.

A hidden gem! Tranquil surroundings, amazing house and first class service from Richard, we will be back for sure!

I stayed at Lyrebirds with my husband and my two adult daughters who were visiting from overseas. The house and location are wonderful. You don't have to see anyone if you don't want to, but can easily drive to Laguna, Wollombi or any other place in the Hunter if you start to feel lonely. The house is absolutely wonderful, with all creature comforts you can think of. We spent most of our time on the deck, watching birds and wallaroos. The beds are extremely comfortable and it is nice that all bedrooms open on to the deck (and mosquitoes weren't bad at all). If you are looking for a place to chill out (while knowing nice wine is to be had nearby), then this is the place to be. I hope to come back one day.

Firstly, Richard is a top host to deal with. The house is great. Beautiful spot! Cant thank him enough for allowing us into his home.

This is a lovely place which is exactly as described. We particularly liked the homestead feel and the feeling of being much much further from Sydney than initially believed. One tip for when getting to the house: If your GPS takes you around the house doing a loop to get there DO NOT DO IT. You end up on a dirt track which only a 4 wheel drive could do. Also on our way home there were 2 accidents on the road with ambulances and the whole shabam. It's a pretty hairy little road to do so keep that in mind and drive safe.

This little cabin is absolutely magical – perfect for a getaway from the rush of the city! It is very clean, well equipped and the views are amazing at any time of the day! We watched the sunset both days we were here, and the combination of it with the hills and the horses down the valley made it picturesque. Louisa and her family are very friendly and helpful, but respect your privacy as well. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again!

This place is awesome! If you are looking for peace, serenity, relaxation, mental detox and dawn chorus - it doesn't get any better than this. The place is quite remote but not hard to get to - it's a dust road just off the Great Northern Road for about 5K. The 2 bed cabin itself is beautiful, very well stocked and clean. The bed was really comfortable, which is always a concern when booking some places. The room has slide doors onto the balcony where the views below are incredible. Louisa and her family were so welcoming and accommodating - even offering time with the horses and there was also an invite to dine with them. I would highly recommend this place for a couple or a family of 4. The pictures don't do it justice...!

Wonderful escape. Quiet, private and beautiful.

We had an absolutely fantastic time. Dawn was lovely and so was her family. The cottage was fully stocked, warm and cosy. Definitely a break from the city. We had the best time and are planning another visit. We would have paid double for our stay. Thanks dawn. It made our anniversary perfect.

We loved our stay at Figtree Cottage. Dawn has a beautiful property in the country and the cottage itself is well set up with everything you need for a quiet, private and cosy retreat. We would love to come back for another city break, thank you Dawn.

This place and the farm is truly beautiful and relaxing! The horses and the dogs are very friendly and the little cottage has everything you need for a great stay close to nature out if the city! Dawn is a great host and made sure we had some breakfast as it's quite far to closest supermarket :) had a great stay and highly recommend it!

The cottage was immaculate & well appointed. Air con, gas heating & electric blankets (on for our arrival) made this a warm welcome on a cold winter night. Breakfast items were waiting in the fridge for our next 2 days. Friendly hosts & friendly animals, a home away from home. Plenty of quiet country spots to visit nearby for a relaxing weekend or drive towards the coast for more action. Thanks Dawn.

Dawn has the most beautiful property! The photos don't do this place justice. The cottage was wonderful, clean and cosy and Dawn had the basic essentials there for us - including marshmallows for the fire pit! The fig tree is spectacular and the paddocks and fields were free for us to roam. Dawn and the family were very welcoming, would recommend this to anybody.

Wow! What a fantastic stay at Dawn's beautiful cottage - she's a fantastic host and went out of her way to make our stay an absolute pleasure. Beautiful location, close to civilisation if you want it... Thanks Dawn!

Dawn's cottage is great! Lovely layout, huge grounds and plenty of thoughtfully added items (especially breakfast)! Dawn is a great host and we would return in an instant!

Garage room was clean & well appointed with full amenities but not as private as we thought. Property looked gorgeous but downpour and lack of wellies prevented us from enjoying it unfortunately.

This was one of the best Airbnb listings I've ever been to. Judy was a lovely host and made us feel extremely welcome in her amazing farm. The location is very accessible and convenient if you have a car and gives you the perfect blend of city and countryside experiences. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the central coast!

Judy is friendly and very helpful. Try her best to make our stay comfortable. Her place is simply amazing. Nice cottage with beautiful surrounding. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks Judy !!!

Really picturesque location and quiet too. Great for family with young children.

Amazing host. Judy made us feel at home on her property. Kids loved it. They helped feed the animals, ran around the yard playing football. Eldest son didn't want to leave. Relaxing and tranquil environment, perfect for a getaway.

Judy's place was a lovely place to stay on a business trip, and we'd definitely stay there again.

We arrived at the cottage warmly welcomed by Judy and immediately realized we had made the right choice. Judy and Bruce make you feel very welcome, almost like part of the family. The cottage is beautifully decorated with simplicity and warmth. It was everything my children and I were looking for. Lovely linen on the beds and the fridge and cupboard stocked for breakfast. The grounds are lovely with alpacas and even horses in surrounding properties. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a quiet retreat on the Central Coast. A perfect little cottage. Thank you Judy for a lovely time.

Judy is a terrific host and the flat is a comfortable, clean and quiet place to stay. Lovely surrounds, handy to shops etcetera and very convenient as a stopover if travelling on the highway. Highly recommend for couples.

We had a confirmed booking. He did not show and could have contacted me on airb app. However next day he told us he had tried emailing . I don't check my email while driving. So disappointed we had to find alternative accommodation at motel.

The host canceled this reservation 220 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Fantastic house that offers everything it says. Sargis supplied towels and basic toiletries and was easy to contact if I needed it. Would definitely stay again!

The host Sargis seemed to be a mystery guy as I did not see him from check-in to check-out. But he did a caring person who had switched on the light to make us feel better when checking-in at night ourselves. Also, he was a very patient and helpful to instruct how to stop the car and get in the B&B step-by-step overphone. I guessed he was a quite easy-going host and respected the guests' privacy very much. The B&B is situated aside the beach close to the town centre for just less than ten minutes' walk. It is unexpectedly spacious and fully equipped with all things we want. If we could successfully find the hair dryer and oil, salt and pepper be provided in the open kitchen should be more perfect. The bedrooms were clean and tidily kept. It was a nice place to stay and a value-for-money choice. It is worth mentioning that I got a privately-occupied covered car park place and it was really not expected. All in all, it is recommendable.

Clean tidy just perfect. Had a great time there, thank you!

We spent one night at Rhonda's very lovely home. The room was spotless and we enjoyed our stay, the chats and laughs with our hosts very much. Thank you. We would definitely come again.

Very friendly hosts. And we really had a good time there. Thank you very much.

Very homely place. Loved the outdoor area with a warm fire and the BBQ. Rhonda and Ken were very welcoming

The room is really awsome with a beautiful bathroom. Rhonda and Ken are Just welcoming, and very open and receptive. Place with a lot of charm. I absolutly suggest this place!

Rhonda and Ken were great hosts! They welcomed me warmly in their beautiful cosy home and made sure I was super comfortable! I also got some great tips for the area, heard about the local ghost and had very interesting conversations with them:) thanks again for that! I highly recommend to stay with Rhonda and Ken!

I have stayed in many Air BnB places. This is definitely one of the best I have ever experienced. Absolutely beautiful space, very professional, private with full facilities and a very friendly host. I highly recommend it

Its a very good place to stay. Specially the cost is very much cheap and in return you will get a pretty standard room for couples. Great backyard and you own living room and TV. Also Rhonda and her family was great and very hospitable. You can't ask more than this for a short stay. Also liked the place around which was quiet and secluded. But also it was not at all far from shops, restaurants and Westfield. Surely the best airbnb experience so far.
