Family-friendly holiday rentals in Cooks Hill

Couldn’t recommend this place more! Vicki and Roger were the so kind and helpful our whole stay, made us feel right at home. It was a an absolute pleasure to stay in your cabin. The scenery and farm friends we loved and the hot tub was a lovely bonus! Everything was clean and we had everything we could need.

Paul has a lovely home and was a great host. No issues with our stay and Paul was very responsive. All in all, a great trip!

Beautiful place Katty and her husband very friendly people, the pool was clean and it had the pool toys, breakfast food free. Is a pretty place for the holidays. Definitely 👍🏻 💯

Absolutely serenity by the lake! Thank you Jan for welcoming us into your space.

We stayed at Armando's for the long weekend while visiting family in the Newcastle area. The house is inviting and beautifully furnished, and was perfect for our group (6 adults + a very energetic toddler!). Everything was clean and tidy, the kitchen was well equipped, and having two full sized bathrooms made our lives so easy. Ducted air con meant the house stayed nice and cosy despite the chilly temperatures outside! The back garden is very serene - we just wished we had more time to enjoy it! Shops nearby meant we could pick up essentials easily, plus grab takeaway if we needed. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would 100% recommend this lovely house!

Joe's place was exactly as described - tranquile farm stay with all kinds of wildlife visits! It even had everything for breakfast - bread, eggs, cereals, coffee and fruits! even an avocado!!! we also needed some extra milk and he was able to help with that! thank you Joe - we'll come again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay at Donna’s. Donna is always very helpful. We love the peacefulness and the lakeside view

Great location with Darby st right around the corner and a short walk down to the waterfront. Sean was very helpful in all his responses and the check in process was easy.

The house was brilliant! Superb location, perfect for any combination of people. Sue's communication was fantastic, friendly and helpful. Thankyou Sue.

The house was very clean and fresh, super cozy and homely. Corinne went above and beyond to accommodate us, even down to leaving us groceries that suited our family to make breakfast and snacks. She also gave us a run down of the area and things to do and see. We will definitely aim to stay here next time we’re visiting.

This is the second time we’ve visited Paul’s place and hopefully they’ll be another. It’s a quintessential Australian coast house, full of character and warmth. The beach is across the road and you fall asleep with the sound of the ocean. Heaven! Great back yard, everything you need and Paul is a 10 out of 10 host!

Had a great stay! Place was spacious for a large group and tidy. Our group enjoyed the animals and a bonfire at night. Great location a short drive from Cessnock. Great communication and clear instructions. Would stay again.

Beautiful tranquil Cottage with amazing water views and cosy and comfortable accommodation . Loved that the Cottage was pet friendly and great for the kids, we all loved the getaway for the weekend. Responsive helpful Host provided lots f local information. Thanks DJ😊

Terry’s place was perfect for our Hunter getaway, and Graham went above and beyond as host. Great location for getting around wineries and restaurants, and 3-minute walk to the brewery and pub down the road made for an absolute no-brainer at night. Accomodation is everything you’d need: perfect for a single, or a couple, or adults +kid/s, etc, plenty of space in the large main room with separate kitchen and separate private bathroom/laundry. Cannot recommend this place and Graham highly enough, what a legend! Cheers mate, we’ll see you again.

We spent the weekend in the hunter and this place was the perfect fit for us! Very peaceful, warm in the winter nights , easy check in and a very helpful host throughout. Would recommend it! We also saw kangaroos which was a big plus for me!

Carol and Terry are very friendly and very lovely hosts. Their place is lovely with beautiful surrounds, very close to zoo - you can see giraffes in the morning and hear lions roaring at sunset - likey being on safari! There is an excellent hot tub. Beds were super comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

We selected Ruth’s BnB based on availability and proximity to John Hunter Hosp. So very glad we did as we got an extremely flexible Hosp, air BnB that had a home feel and all the little nick nacks that you need in daily life that many BnBs don’t cover.

We have stayed at Jenni and Kristi's place several times previously and it always makes our stays in the Hunter really relaxing and comfortable. Everything is just as we like-spacious, clean, very comfortable beds, well stocked with cutlery, crockery and glassware, coffee maker etc. It's well situated, in a very quiet location overlooking the pond where there are plenty of ducks, moorhens and even kangaroos to make for a very relaxing ambience. We will certainly hope to stay again on our next visit. I highly recommend.

Great stay for a group, huge kitchen and table to cook and eat together and the pool and tennis courts were great. Perfect location to drive around to the wineries and close to a brewery in walking distance.

Our stay was beautiful and everything was as described. Incredibly comfortable beds with lots of peace and quiet. The added pleasure of seeing and petting the beautiful animals made it an experience not to be found elsewhere. The grounds and house is so well maintained and was perfect for a stay with extended family. We look forward to coming back in the future.

What a lovely place with the kindest owners! Tania took such wonderful care of us throughout our stay, always attentive and thoughtful. Communication was excellent, and the place itself was spotless and very comfortable. We highly recommend staying here — it was truly a delightful experience!
