We had a wonderfully warm welcome and were delighted with the generous breakfast hamper. The cottage had a lovely homely feel and was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Nestled on the vineyard, it was peaceful and relaxing - we would definitely come back!

Felt double beds were a bit small as our beds at home are huge. Ok for a night or two though.

It was clean and welcoming with wood all chopped & ready for the fire. Also had split system aircon. Cozy! Fresh organic eggs from the chooks in the backyard, bacon, bread, butter & a good selection of cereals. And a bottle of wine included. Beautiful firepit outside where we toasted marshmallows. So nice to sit there and watch the sun go down, hear the birds and then the frogs. Beautiful starry night sky too. Really nice wine & cheese tasting where Declan took us through all the wines and explained the good pairings. Don’t miss this! He is a wealth of information.

Lovely stay as a weekend break from Sydney, and an excellent location to explore the Hunter Valley from. Danielle and Declan were friendly and easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend their wine tasting additionally.

Lovely comfortable cottage with everyting needed including breakfast with fresh eggs from the Chooks in the garden. Delicious wine from the Cellar Door and a relaxed, interesting wine tasting with the host. The pool was very welcoming in the hot afternoon and we enjoyed watching the Kangaroos and Wallabies in the evening.

That we had to leave

We were so impressed and happy with everything during our stay. The cottage is so cute and comfortable and a perfect location. Sitting in amongst some of the vines and so quiet. The breakfast supplies that were provided were a lovely surprise and very appreciated. We would definitely recommend McCaffrey's Estate and will stay here again next time we are in the Hunter. Thank you so much for making our Hunter stay so perfect.

Danielle and Declan made sure we had toys and setup for the kids to be happy and comfortable, with the animals and vineyard at the doorstep making it so special, making memories. My husband and I had a bottle of rose waiting for us, to enjoy after the kids were asleep, overlooking the sunset on the vines, with wallabies right near our door. Close to all the activities but also, a great spot to relax, with a day by the pool, enjoying nature. Exactly what we needed.

We liked everything about the Estate and our lovely hosts

Location was excellent and the wine tasting that Declan organised for us was excellent, the wines were great and the match cheese was a great touch. The Cottage was perfect for the four of us and we had an amazing two day stay, we'll be back for sure. We would absolutely recommend the Estate to anyone thinking of staying.

Nothing. It was perfect.

this place is very special. Calm and quiet and relaxing. In winter we had the wood fire going and it was just awesome. Hosts were super nice and had a little breakfast supplies set up when we arrived.

The place had everything we needed, including a fire place. It was very clean and spacious. Good breakfast was provided. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. A bottle of white wine found in the fridge was a very nice touch. The back verandah overlooks the dam and vineyard. We will be back.

we didn't feel there was anything unlikable about the accommodation, location or hosts.

Location was central to the local wineries and restaurants. Hosts we very friendly and approachable. The pool was amazing. It was great to see the kangaroos in amongst the vines in the morning. The breakfast and wine provided were excellent. The accommodation was really well equipped, homely and the beds were super comfortable.

10/10 recommend! We had the Cabernet Cottage and it was absolutely fantastic - the estate is beautiful, the cottage is so thoughtfully and lovingly furnished and decorated and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need for a a great cookout. The pool is fun and we saw kangaroos between the vines when strolling over the estate. We even did a wine and cheese tasting on arrival which I recommend!

Regrets that my stay was only for 3 days.

Quiet , serene location. With a country vibe. Walking the vines , early morning was a nice way to start the day. Time in a salt pool at midday was a welcome retreat from the Hunter warmth.

Beautiful peaceful location with friendly hosts. Was lovely to have a breakfast hamper included and to be able to walk through the vineyards. Highly recommended.

Super cute cabin, on a great property with chickens you can visit.

Nothing negative to say about our stay at McCaffrey's.

My friend and I loved our stay at McCaffrey's Estate which was perfect for our long weekend getaway. The cabin was what we imagined, had everything, clean, cute and so cozy especially with the fireplace on cold nights. They also have their own winery to visit and taste. The host Danielle was so lovely, welcoming which made us feel so at home with a lovely bottle of wine, bacon, eggs and bread for breakfast the next morning. The position of McCaffrey's was in a perfect location, still close to all shops, wineries, attractions etc., but still had that beautiful quiet nature country feeling. If you are looking for that quiet relaxing atmosphere, I would recommend McCaffery's.

That we couldn’t stay longer to enjoy the fire pit.

Lovely location and the Merlot Cottage had everything we needed including good brekkie options. The wine tasting was most enjoyable and the wine was really good.
