Edenview - lovely large house, set on a beautiful and scenic 5 acre parcel in the Hunter Valley. The house has a formal living area, family/dining room and TV room as well as 6 oversized bedrooms (9 beds) and 3 bathrooms.
Set up for entertaining - and relaxing - Edenview is situated within a few kilometers from the foot of the Watagan Mountain Range in Quorrobolong, and just 2 hours north of Sydney.
Edenview is a scenic 25 minute drive to local wineries, boutique restaurants and the Hunter Valley Gardens, yet just 12 -15 mins drive to Cessnock for all your grocery and daily needs and 20 minutes from the M1 Freeway from Sydney.
As the name suggests, the 180 degree views from Edenview are just magical, capturing the mountain scape and rolling hills of the beautiful Hunter Valley.
Edenview is our home. We love animals, so we understand that you may wish to bring your fur babies with you on your holiday. There is a totally fenced half acre dog proof yard to keep your fur babies safe and happy. We ask that your fur babies are kept outside where they can be undercover and safe and not allowed indoors at all.
We have a horse called Leo, 2 miniature ponies, one called Sonny, the other Franklin, a sheep called Coco we a resident chicken family on site where you can collect fresh eggs daily straight from the nest boxes - except when they have a break and stop laying. (We try and leave fresh laid eggs in the fridge for your use if we can as well).
There is also a cheeky cockatoo called Maxi who loves to say Hi when you arrive and ‘Bye’ when you leave.
Inside the house, we have a large fish with multiple goldfish live.
We take our dogs with us when guests have booked the property, and our 2 cats are kept locked up safely in the large shed on the property with plenty of food and water.
WINE TOURS
Edenview have teamed up with some of the best Wine Tour companies in the Hunter Valley.
There are both half day and full day wine tours available, plus shuttle bus companies that will do transfers to concerts or local restaurants. Rover Buses pick up from around the corner at a very reasonable price, and most chartered buses you arrange will pick up and drop off at Edenview, so no need to haggle about who is the designated driver! :)
