Dalwood Country House is set on 50 acres and is an impressive interpretation of modern Australian colonial architecture - this sprawling country homestead has everything for the perfect stay in the Hunter Valley.

Dalwood Country Retreat has a real abundance of space inside and out. It has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Two bedrooms are king rooms (or 4 single beds) with en-suites and a further four queen bedrooms. There is a connecting room from bedroom 3 and 4 that has two double sofa beds which is perfect for children or a spill over for larger groups. This stunning property has a large kitchen and two separate inside dining areas, a fantastic modern open-plan living space with island fire. French doors, open to outdoor decks and entertainment areas with a wood-fire pizza oven and large BBQ. A feature of this fabulous property is the substantial lounge area to the rear of the house with a pool table and a second plasma TV (both TV's have Austar only, no free to air channels are available). The home is perfect for a stay all year round with a roaring island-fireplace to cosy up to in winter and ducted air-conditioning to keep you comfortable in summer.

The refreshing swimming pool is surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens and if you're bringing the kids they will love the full-size outdoor play area and fully enclosed trampoline. There is nothing this property lacks and it is less than 15 minutes to the great restaurants and cellar doors on Wine Country Drive and the famous Vintage Golf course.

Please note that this property is NOT pet friendly.
