Talga Vines Vineyard Escape  

Set in the Hunter Valley wine region near Lovedale and Rothbury, Talga Vines Vineyard Escape is a wine-country cottage minutes from local cellars. You’re close to Wandin Estate, Gartelmann Wines and Allandale, with Hunter Valley Gardens within easy driving distance. Pet-friendly and private, it’s a great pick for vineyard getaways and small groups.

This individually decorated vacation home pairs rustic vineyard charm with upscale touches. Enjoy a private pool and patio, a cozy fireplace, and bedrooms dressed in Egyptian cotton sheets. Bathrooms feature jetted tubs and rainfall showerheads. The kitchen is full-sized (refrigerator/freezer, oven, stovetop, microwave) and there’s a 132-inch plasma TV with DVD and a video-game console for nights in.

Take a dip in the outdoor/seasonal pool or your own private pool, grill in the barbecue and picnic area, or wander the garden and private yard. Free self-parking and on-site laundry make stays easy. Rooms open to patios — wake up to vineyard mornings and espresso from your in-room maker.

Limo/town car service, express check-out and laundry facilities are available. Free self-parking is provided on site.
