Iron Gate Estate - Pokolbin

Iron Gate Estate is well known for its beautiful, architecturally designed Spanish-style winery and cellar door and will, for the first time, welcome guests to the Estates private residence.  Set prominently at the top of their 25 acre boutique vineyard this stunning architecturally designed mansion is truly unique and designed to host a maximum of 15 guests who will enjoy the grandeur of 7 bedrooms and 4 huge bathrooms, as well as spacious indoor and outdoor living, dining and entertaining spaces. Reflecting a traditional Spanish mansion with white stucco walls, wrought iron, and classic European fitting and fixtures, you’ll love the unique details and handcrafted artworks, antiques, rustic terracotta, hand crafted timber windows and painted pottery to add true character and textural elements to Iron Gates' decor. 

The design of the residence provides you with complete privacy yet you are only moments away from the leadings attractions and experiences of the Hunter Valley. Conveniently located in the heart of Pokolbin and only an 8-minute drive to the iconic Hunter Valley Gardens, award winning restaurants, concert venues and world-class golf courses.   Zip up the road for a casual lunch with views at Twine Restaurant, dine on the terrace at Baume at Ben Ean or order the best salumi and cheese platter in the valley at Usher Tinkler, set in the Old Pokolbin Church.

The European eat-in kitchen with granite bench tops is equipped with modern appliances including an induction stove top, 120cm electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, Expressi coffee machine and fridge/freezer - the kitchen flows out to the outdoor entertaining area.

Sink back into the brocade lounges in the cosy winter living room with open fireplace or enjoy the wide screen tv and chill out spaces in the TV room with surround-sound. 

In six of the bedrooms you can swing open the French doors out to your own private terrace and lie back on your sumptuous bed with crisp linen and take in the beautiful breezes of the Hunter.  

Perfect for all seasons, and with ducted air-conditioning and fans to all rooms, in winter you’ll enjoy the two wood-burning fireplaces, and in the summer, bask in the sun-drenched terracotta central courtyard and bbq.  Step down to an 11 metre sparkling fountain-fed pool with views to the vineyard beyond.  
 
Take time to wander the gardens through the fruit trees and established olive grove to make your way over to the unique cellar door for an unparalleled personalised wine tasting experience of their estate grown wines.

For those staying for a longer guests have access to a large laundry with washing machine and dryer.

Enjoy fun for the whole family with the games room in the garage, featuring table tennis, pool table and darts; perfect for playful challenges and quality time spent together.

Property Reviews

Great for a large group

Great location, spacious house, fab weekend away.

Property exceeded our expectations

What an fantastic location, right in the middle of the Hunter Valley. There is vines as far as the eye can see. The property exceeded our expectations, great for a mixed group.  Hunter Valley Stays provided an awesome service from the accommodation through to tips on how to make our Hunter stay even better. I highly recommend their service.

Incredible weekend

‘We had the most amazing weekend staying at Iron Gate and I would highly, highly recommend staying here if you have a large group (we had 14 adults in total). The property is absolutely gorgeous, clean and very private. It’s even bigger and more grand than in the photos! We had wine tours booked but we didn’t even want to leave as it was so nice lounging around the pool! On our last day we checked out the Iron Gate Estate Winery next door for a wine tasting and we learnt the history of the house! It was so special and made us appreciate it even more! Thank you Hunter Valley Stays for the most incredible weekend! We will be back soon!

Amazing Property

Amazing property! great location. Would definitely recommend. Felt like we had been transported to a Tuscan Villa.

Perfect home for a weekend with friends

Beautiful big house fully stocked with everything you need for a weekend with friends.The pool and outdoor entertaining area was great and the location excellent. The house was clean and welcoming. It was big enough for 14 of us to stay comfortably with plenty of space and bathrooms. Will stay here again.

Top notch service from Hunter Valley Stays

Had a really good stay. The service and communication from HVS was top notch all the way through.

It’s a must go destination

It’s an amazing property with the best vineyard view in hunter valley. The area experienced a bad storm before I arrived, but they did a great job to keep it clean and work. The manager Galvin was very nice and helpful. We had a good wine tasting experience at their cellar door. The property is a good Spanish design and you won’t see it at any other place in hunter valley. Must go!!! And must book.

Thank you for a great stay !!

House looks exactly the same in real life as it does in the images. Very close to all the vineyards and close to shops if you need last minute groceries. Staff were extremely helpful and always contactable even after hours ! Thank you

Great stay!

Great spot, enjoyed by all.  Definitely recommend for a weekend stay.

We had an absolute ball!

Absolutely stunning property, with amazing views and designs sure is one of a kind.

A Beautiful Property

Iron Gate Estate is a beautiful property and so perfect for a large group of friends or family wanting to explore the Hunter Valley wine region. We had a great time.

Beautiful Property Surrounded by Vineyards

So relaxing. The layout is great, huge outdoor space and amazing pool. There was everything we needed to cater for a very large group and keep us entertained for a long weekend! Thank you so much for making it a great stay, we enjoyed every minute.

Awesome!

This place is simply the best.  Better than all the rest.  Better than anyone I’ve ever met.

Perfect for large groups

The house is fantastic. With so many bedrooms and living areas it is perfect for large groups. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and kitchenware – Perfect for cooking for large groups. The BBQ is great as well. We had a great time walking the Vineyard. The kids loved the huge swimming pool. Perfect location for visiting wineries. The Irongate cellar door is a short walk across the property.

Relaxing Spanish Villa with Incredible Views

Iron Gate is a spectacular villa, so much beauty and it was a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Waking each morning to the view of the vineyard while the sun rose over the pool was my favourite part. The perfect location to stay with multiple families or friends. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the facilities throughout the house were perfect. I can’t wait to stay again.

Very enjoyable for our group

Iron Gate is a spectacular villa, so much beauty and it was a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Enjoyable Stay

The house was beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

Thoroughly enjoyable stay

A lovely space for out whole family to enjoy our Christmas weekend. Pool was beautiful, grounds spacious, beds and linen very clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Better than the pictures!

The house was absolutely gorgeous, better than the pictures and perfect for a summer or winter get away. We planned for rain but lucked out with the weather and enjoyed the pool and outdoor dining. We saw kangaroos among the vines in the mornings and sunset was beautiful. Everyone (we had 12 people) was super comfortable and the house had everything we needed, love the style and the location. Would stay there again.

I can’t wait for my next trip back here

The Iron Gate House was a fantastic stay for a long weekend away. The house is amazing and has so many ammenities, and Hunter Valley Stays did a really good job at keeping us updated all the way from booking to check in. I can’t wait for my next trip back here.

Feeling like you are in Tuscany

The stay at The Gate House at Iron Gate Estate was phenomenal. The home is so stunning and picturesque! The views and all round location and atmosphere was amazing. In addition to literally feeling like you are in Tuscany, the facilities available were wonderful and we felt very much at home. The bottle of wine and olive oil (this was delicious!) were a nice touch. Communication prior to check in and for check out was smooth and easy. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Fabulous vineyard view

As beautiful as in the pictures. Fabulous vineyard view and comfortable rooms. We all had wonderful time.

Took my breath away

This was my second stay at Iron Gate Estate and it took my breath away again. Such a lovely home, you’ll never want to leave. Communication was very easy with Hunter Valley Stays and I would highly recommend.

Very grand

Lovely location. Big property. Very grand. Management were very attentive when we needed them

Absolutely beautiful

Absolutely beautiful and you felt like you were transported straight to Italy! The process was so easy and simple and the staff were so easy to contact if needed! Highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

The house is a beautiful Tuscan villa

The house is a beautiful Tuscan villa looking out over a breathtaking vineyard. It is an easy 5 min walk through beautiful vines to the Iron Gate cellar door, which is highly recommended for a tasting and to see the flocks of pink Gallas flying over the vineyard. We were a large group staying at the house, and we all had enough room to relax and enjoy the various spaces. The kitchen and terrace are ideal for entertaining; we used these spaces to the fullest. The house is well equipped for cooking and entertaining with everything you would need. The kitchen came stocked with oil, salt & pepper, a coffee machine, and pods. The weather was just a bit chilly, so we didn’t brave the pool, but it looked very inviting, and in the warmer months, I’m sure it would be fantastic. We had minor hiccups, but the very responsive hosts quickly resolved these. We all loved our stay, and we would highly recommend the house to any large groups.

Great experience

What an awesome property. The location is amazing and the facilities excellent. Everyone had a great time. A great experience.

An exceptional property for a large group

An exceptional property for a large group. Plenty of room, no shortage of space for people to spread out and enjoy the serenity of the location, but amazing entertaining spaces both indoors and outdoors. Extremely well equipped with all the necessary items you’d expect to find, and smaller additional touches too. This property made our weekend, thank you! We cannot recommend it highly enough and the hosts were incredibly easy and professional to deal with. We will be back!

Absolutely stunning

Absolutely stunning. Gorgeous place, with a serene and beautiful view of the hunter valley landscape. We’ll be back!

We had a work bonding stay

Check – in was so smooth, place was as described, location was perfect and close to all great wineries Had a great stay, beautiful property.

Huge property

Huge property for large family gathering , plenty of room to spread out, beds were comfortable, would have been nice if we could have stayed an extra night to enjoy the surrounds & grounds however we were there for a family wedding.

Felt like we’d been transported to Italy

We loved our stay, the property is gorgeous and felt like we’d been transported to Italy. It was a great location in the middle of the Hunter Valley. The team were very quick to respond to us and made sure the house was spotless on arrival, we loved the complimentary bottle of Iron Gate shiraz too!

House was unreal

Hunter Valley Stays were awesome to deal with. The house was unreal. Had a great weekend.
