Property Reviews
We Had an Absolute Blast and Would Definitely Stay Again!
The property was spacious and has everything that we needed for our stay and more. The country style kitchen and massive dinning table were definitely well suited to our large group gatherings! The swimming pool and the games room was also a hit with the grown ups and kids. Overall amazing property and would not hesitate to stay again.
An Excellent Base For A Family or Large Group Going To The Hunter Valley.
We found that all of the Hunter’s attractions were easily in reach. The property itself offers excellent accommodation with generous spaces for individuals to have quiet times, but large groups could easily interact together. Pool is well placed for adult supervision of children and the overall feel of the property gives a rural feeling.
Perfect Location
Great place to stay, especially location wise. Games room is fabulous too!
We had a wonderful stay at Puddleduck House!
We had a wonderful stay at Puddleduck House. The communication between Hunter Valley Stays and myself was very good and informed me every step of the way! The house itself was very comfortable for the 7 guests & a pup.
The house is very spacious and clean
I loved staying here, the house is very spacious and clean.
Great
Absolutely amazing property!
Absolutely amazing property! I spent the weekend here with my family for my father’s 70th Birthday catch up. The host’s were amazing in accommodating us with our requirements, and the house was perfect for keeping the kids entertained with books, boardgames, plenty of TV’s and the games room.
Lovely stay
Lovely location in the Hunter. Well suited to a big group.
Would definitely recommend
Myself and some friends stayed for the weekend. Great location, close to wineries and easy pick up location for tours. Shame we had rain but if you get a nice weekend, the pool area outside is perfect. Clean and spacious home and great communication from Hunter Valley Stays. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful home
Amazing location, beautiful home and great communication.
Conveniently located property
Well equipped and conveniently located property with relaxing rural outlook.
Close to town centre
Had a wonderful time at Puddleduck. Close to Cessnock town center and wineries, but just outside of town in peaceful surroundings. Thank you for having us!
Games area was a real highlight
Big family holiday
Amazing place to stay for a big family holiday. Hosts were proactive and responsive. The place was clean and tidy and exactly as photos.
Everything needed for a great weekend
Absolutely lovely house with everything needed for a great weekend, would highly recommend
The property is fabulous
We stayed for 3 nights a family of 10, aged 2 to 68yrs. The property is fabulous. It is spacious and well laid out with lots of room and privacy for everyone. Open plan with a large dining table adjacent to the kitchen which is large enough for many kitchen hands. The house has up to date comfortable furniture, effective ducted air conditioning and a lovely pool and games room. In addition Hunter Valley Stays are an efficient, professional service. I have booked with them on many occasions. They have a number of properties at a cheaper rate than other sites. The communication is faultless replying to email or texts immediately starting from the time of booking. I would highly recommend HVS and would not use any other site for the Hunter.
Amazing
Amazing house and i definitely recommend
