Holiday Accommodation

Welcome to ‘River View Estate’ a Victorian-style country home nestled on the serene Hunter River.

Spread across 100 acres of picturesque countryside, this enchanting location offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, timeless elegance and a relaxing vibe – perfect for your next girls’ weekend, family reunion or romantic retreat. The home itself boasts a gracious façade with ornate fretwork, two gorgeous wrap-around verandas, and six bedrooms, each with a Queen bed and views in every direction.

This stately two-storey home is simply magnificent, with heritage features including stained glass windows and French doors, incredibly ornate balustrading, picture rails, ornate pressed ceilings and stunning ceiling roses. What an incredible setting for a truly fabulous long weekend getaway or perhaps a longer stay! 

The dining room is picture perfect – with timber floors and a rustic dining suite – the perfect scene for a lavish feast – perhaps of fresh seafood(the local oysters are divine!), grass-fed beef and organic produce, with, of course, a few bottles of the Hunter’s best wines. There is even a snooker table – such a sophisticated country estate vibe. You could spend hours here shooting pool and shooting the breeze. Then retire to the living room with its beautiful décor, sumptuous sofas, Gatsby-style leadlight stained glass and ornate ceilings. Or head out to benches that cluster around the firepit area, where weathered bush rocks create the perfect frame for a blazing fire.

Six bedrooms, each featuring a Queen bed, can accommodate up to 12 guests and all boast gorgeous countryside or water views and period-style furniture that perfectly suits the sophisticated aesthetic of this grand property.

The comfortable queen beds in every bedroom are made up of lovely linen and the rooms themselves are laden with heritage features including ornate cornices, bedside tables, subtle lamps and light fixtures from a beautiful bygone era.

Cook up a big brekky after a lazy, late wake-up or throw together a charcuterie board, grab a bottle of bubbles and head to the upper or lower veranda – your choice – to watch the sunset across the river and the breathtaking farmland that surrounds this gracious property. The country kitchen is fully stocked to make your rustic getaway complete – with a full fridge and freezer, oven, stove, microwave, toaster, kettle, pots, pans, condiments and more!

If several families are travelling together and you are bringing the children, they will be entertained for hours exploring the countryside, perhaps throwing a fishing line in the river and giggling and chasing each other in the huge playground outside! With slides climbing ladders and much more, they will have the time of their lives…and you will get a chance to chill and chat. 

For the adults, pop open a bottle of bubbles and head outside to the HUGE outdoor spa.. perfect for relaxing, unwinding and enjoying the beautiful, crisp countryside.

imagine a country christmas here!

With room for the kids to run and enjoy the outdoors, a beautiful home to decorate and plenty of chimneys for Santa!

Of course, a home this size has two bathrooms – one on each floor – to cater for all of your guests. There is also a full laundry with a washing machine and dryer if you are staying a little longer.

Even though you will be sequestered away on your own private farm stay in this heavenly piece of the world, you are still less than 30 km from Honeysuckle and the Newcastle CBD, 19 km from Maitland, 6 km from Raymond Terrace main street, approximately 40 minutes drive to Lovedale’s wine/tourist region and under 2 hours to Sydney.
