Lovely cottage and beautiful location

We loved our stay at the Settler’s cottage. It was like stepping back in time! The setting is beautiful and so quiet and relaxing. Peter and Jane were lovely hosts and so welcoming and it was great to hear about the history of the place. We also enjoyed our visits from Cooper the dog too, so gorgeous! It was a lovely to have the breakfast supplies provided too. We would definitely recommend the wine too! Definitely love to return - thanks for letting us stay!

The Settlers Cottage

My wife and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend in the cottage. Cooper helped wear our 2 y/o Lab out. Location to town was only a 15 minute walk. Looking forward to trying it out in the Winter with a cosy fire.

A quiet retreat

A quiet retreat with a beautiful bushland outlook. The cottage was quaint and charming. It was very close to the wedding venue we were attending and close to the historic town of Wollombi There was no TV or Internet so bring a book. Unfortunately we couldn’t get the fire to light which would have added to the old world atmosphere

Charming cottage

Peter made us feel very welcome. The cabin was very beautiful. We sat by the open fire drinking wine and playing scrabble. During the day we adventured into the village, having a drink and some wood fired pizzas at the local pub. It was a perfect relaxing weekend we needed with our pup. Definitely come back.

Relax and rejuvenate

Country living so close to Sydney. The cottage was authentic and brought to life the real experiences. The winery was an added bonus. The hosts were very friendly and thoughtful. In many sense, it is an authentic experience; it's not a modern cottage with a made-up look. It was perfect for us. There was egg, bacon, and milk in the fridge. I also loved Wollombi such rustic charm, and the residents slowed down to wave or salute. I loved it.

Just a heads up

As we arrived after dark & it was cold, it would have been nice to have arrived to a warmed up cabin, rather than having to get warm on arrival. Enjoyed stopping at Cellar door to view sculpture & sample some bubbles

We will be back for sure

We had an enjoyable and memorable weekend at the cabin. The settlers cottage is a clean, cosy, comfortable, and well maintained time capsule! Loved the decor and trinkets. Lovely to have some breakfast provided and the convenience of wine tasting on our doorstep. Host was friendly, helpful and kind. Walking distance to pub and local township of Wollombi. We fell in love with the property and area and will be back for sure. Feel very fell rested and recharged after just two nights away. Thanks a million for looking after us!

Lovely old world

Peter welcoming , we loved the colonial old world feel of place and location. Lights were not working which a pity but we survived with lamps. Nice brekkie in fridge bacon egg’s mushrooms tomatoes bread. But no butter or cooking oil which made it difficult. Cheers

Settlers cottage under cliff

The host was welcoming and pleasant Complimentary breakfast provisions were great The property is very old and rustic, I wouldn’t recommend if you are not up to this type of accommodation. Bed, bed linen pillows and blankets very worn and old, this was very unsatisfactory. Grime kitchen. The place needs a good clean and upgrade to all bedding and soft furnishings. I like and appreciate the old and rustic type accommodation, but visitors need to feel comfortable if you want them to return. Great wine and clever sparkling

Dissapointed for the money we paid

the whole house was not very clean, mainly the kitchen area, there was mold on the kitchen ceiling very thick, some of the lights did not work, toilet did not flush well, was advertised as breakfast supplied we only got breakfast for one morning, blankets smelt like moth balls, owners dog kept coming down and jumping all over our dogs, we had to kept tying him up, would not recommend it, which is unfortunate as it really could be nice with some TLC.
