Just a couple of things you need to know and this is more a disclaimer on our part.

We face an open dam which sometimes has kangaroos -- dogs and kangaroos do not mix well. Also there can be the occasional snake, particularly in the summer months just for your info.

The driveway goes onto an open road where there is a part that is not fenced. There is no fence down to the paddock and creek, so may not be ideal if your dog likes to roam.

LOCATION
Around a two hour journey from Sydney and just over 60 minutes from Newcastle, the Broke Fordwich area is in the southwest corner of the mid Hunter Valley. Sitting between Pokolbin and Wollombi, Broke played a critical role in the development and history of NSW.

Next door to boutique vineyards and near the olive farms of Broke, 10 minutes to the heart of Pokolbin for the best wine tasting and restaurants in NSW. For the golf enthusiasts, two of the best and most challenging golf courses in Australia (the Vintage and Cypress Lakes). Also near great Wedding Venues such as Adams Peak , Starline Alpacas and Margan..
Broke Village stands at the base of the Brokenback and Hunter Ranges on the Wollombi Brook. The massive Yellow Rock escarpment stands guard above. The Ranges shelter Broke Fordwich from much of the rainfall that the surrounding districts receive. The area has a sandy loam with river flat alluvial soil, volcanic soil and pockets of red basalt giving wine producers a variety of soil types known as terra rossa.

Today, more than a quarter of the Hunter’s wine grape production now comes from the area and Broke Fordwich wines are winning more than their fair share of national and international awards.

Importantly, Broke Fordwich retains it’s integrity as a rural community remaining free of large scale development, yet offering first class B&B and self catering accommodation, restaurants and activities. Visitors to the area are surprised by the amount of wildlife they see.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be close to Mount Broke Wines. Free self-parking, a full-service spa and an arcade/games room are available. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the holiday home.

We had a very large group of family come over from overseas for a family event ranging from 4 to 82 years of age. The house is amazing and was luxurious for every single persons stay. I have never seen such a well equipped house with every possible thing available, about 25 mins drive from the Hunter. Thank you so much for helping us have such a memorable stay!

Amazing Wedding Weekend
We had a small intimate wedding weekend at the property. The landscape and scenery was simply picturesque. Luckily it didn’t rain during our stay but we had to have our ceremony on the deck as the ground was soaked and muddy. Colette was a phenomenal host and very accommodating with all our requests to create our dream wedding weekend. The property is large and spacious which was perfect for large groups and entertaining. Would definitely go back!

Beautiful property and excellent host
Our group had the chance to stay in the Hunter Moon and it was nothing short of amazing! The property is very spacious and there are so many activities in the house. We had so much fun in the spa, playing table tennis and badminton. Also in close proximity to the house are wineries, some of which we visited. The BBQ also came in handy on our second night as well as we cooked a feast! As for each of the rooms, they were mostly clean and very comfortable. Finally, our host Collette was quick to respond to all of our questions and was extremely hospitable, making our super smooth sailing. The only suggestion I'd give would be to add a Chromecast device in the entertainment room (very cheap and useful for streaming services) but otherwise everything was great :D! Thank you Colette!

Work Group Get Away
What an incredible property! Colette and Mark have created the most amazing group accommodation option. The little touches (white boards for names on doors, separate private seating areas) were so great but the group activities/games and fire pit were the most popular with the spa! The fresh roses in every room and around the house was really lovely too.

My 30th Birthday in Broke
We stayed at this property with a group of 20 to celebrate my 30th. Hunter Moon Country House was perfect! We all had plenty of space for sleeping and the layout of the house made it a dream of entertaining! We had a long lunch on the back deck which was already set up and decorated for us. The back lawn area was perfect to run around and play games which were provided my Colette and Mick. The spa was great in the evenings and we even managed to cool it down during the day as it was a very warm weekend. I would highly recommend the Hunter Moon Country House, Broke as an area and Colette and Mick as hosts. We will be back and encourage everyone to check this place out :)

The property is perfect for large groups. The rooms are tidy and styled for any individual. The area is quiet, secluded and serene. I highly recommend this for a birthday or couple retreat.
