Awarded the 2019 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for providing consistently outstanding experiences and whose owners offer first-class customer service to their guests The Grey House is a stunning brand new luxury Hamptons inspired home, located in the heart of the Hunter wine country.

The Grey House is a 5 bedroom spacious home with 2 ensuites, 1.5 bathrooms plus a home theatre. Step down to the huge open-plan living area, giving a light and airy feel that is stylish and luxurious. The open plan area opens up to views of the Greg Norman designed, 18 hole championship golf course and the Bimbadgen winery.

Furnished with comfort in mind, you will have at hand, everything you need when away from home - all of the little things having been thought of.

And when you want to eat in, enjoy the large entertaining style kitchen with a butlers pantry. There is also a large entertaining area with a BBQ.

The estate has a pool, spa and gym. A restaurant, bar and grill is available on-site and within a short walk from the house.

Often kangaroos bounce close to the backyard - it's really beautiful to see these creatures in their natural environment whilst you could be sipping wine or entertaining beside the BBQ. The sun sets majestically at the back of the house, just perfect for when you would like to wind down.

The property is central to all that the Hunter Valley region offers. There are many boutique and commercial wineries on your doorstep and the Hunter Valley Gardens just an 8 minute drive away. Just a short walk from the house is the Bimbadgen cellar door.

Please note that this property is NOT pet friendly.

Perfect short stay for our large group

The house is super stylish and our group of 9 ladies relaxed into it immediately with a few drinks on the patio, watching the visiting kangaroos as the sun set. We used the Resort facilities - massages at Chateau Elan and the pool. The beds were comfy, the bathrooms large with white fluffy towels supplied and there were a few staples in the kitchen. It was faultless. Perfect for a group of 10 in separate beds, and we hope to be back again next year!

The Grey House Pokolbin

The house was perfect to accommodate our family. Plenty of room, and within 10mins drive to all places we wanted to visit in the wine region. The house was so well equipped and the boys loved the home theatre . Being able to Bluetooth any movie instead of DVDS would have been the icing on the cake. Would definitely stay here again if I was in the Hunter Valley with a group

Home away from home

The grey house was a the cherry on top of our Hunter valley wine experience. The subtle grandeur and numerous living spaces of the house felt like we were home. With 13 of us varying in ages, there was still space left over! I would highly recommend this home for a large group seeking a modern and grand home away from home experience.
