The Parson's Vineyard Retreat - get amongst the vineyards in a historic home

Hidden away from the hum of Wine Country Drive sits a beautifully re-imagined and renovated part of the region's past. The Parson's retreat was saved from perishing in Cessnock and given a tranquil new setting in Rothbury.

With a flood of natural light splashing on the white walls to fill the indoor space with warmth and huge glass panels, all of which can be opened so allow the refreshing cool breeze from the nearby dam or grove of trees, makes this the perfect location to runaway to.

Boasting a large outdoor deck and BBQ facilities, it will be a tough task to find a more suitable spot for a summer evening.

**This is a rural property with an open dam so please keep this in mind if booking with younger children or non swimmers.**

Important note for party planners:
Unfortunately this is not the property for you. This home located in a quiet neighbourhood, so a hens/bucks/schoolies type celebration is not appropriate. We can easily determine if the house rule of “No parties or events” is disrespected, and this means additional charges and/or eviction will apply, which everyone wants to avoid. If you are unsure, please enquire before booking.

THE IMPORTANT STUFF
The booking price is based on a minimum number of guests. Any guests above this number are chargeable on a per person/per night rate. The system will automatically calculate the correct rate when you enter in the required number of guests. Reductions in guest numbers are non-refundable.

This property is managed by Weekenda, a licensed real estate. Weekenda staff are available 7 days a week to assist from your initial enquiry through to your departure and everything in between.

Arrival Details: Access to the property is made easy for you. We will send you an access code just before 2pm on your arrival day via SMS and you will use this code for the duration of your stay.

Linen: 1 set of full bed linens and 1 bath towel per person are supplied. Guests may wish to bring extra towels depending on the length of their stay. Pool/Lake/Beach towels are BYO

Pools: If the property has a Swimming Pool then it will be open for swimming for the September NSW School Holidays and closed and Winterised immediately after the NSW Easter School Holidays has completed.

Fires and Firewood: Internal wood fireplaces and outdoor fire pits only operate after the NSW Easter School Holidays up to before the NSW September School Holidays in line with NSW state fire restrictions. Please note: we will supply enough fire-wood for a decent fire for 1 night of your stay. Guests wishing to have additional fires are required to BYO fire-wood which can be easily purchased from the local service stations. Kindling & fire-starters will be provided for guest convenience.

All reservations operate under a strict No-Party & excessive noise policy as this property is in a residential area. Failure to comply can put the security bond into jeopardy.

Prior to arrival, Weekenda will require you to sign an electronic guest registration prior to arrival which will ask for ID (drivers licence or passport), list your guests with contact phone or email for Government Covid reporting, and to re-accept the Weekenda T&C's. Access Codes are only released to registered guests.

As always, but ever so more due to recent times, we strongly encourage any holiday reservations to obtain a 3rd party Domestic Travel Insurance Policy to cover you for all manners of matters which may restrict travel. This is particularly helpful for things like Hunter Valley Concert cancellations or medical emergencies for which we don't provide refunds and which fall under our standard cancellation terms irrespective of the reason. We suggest reviewing policies with 'Cover-More', 'Travel Insurance Direct' & 'INSUREANDGO'.

Please also note that we may have installed a WIFI security camera at the front entrance of the property. We are progressively rolling these out through every property in 2022.

We look forward to having you stay with us.
