LOCATION
Rothbury Hunter Valley
Privately nestled within a 100-acre property, Scarborough Cottage is the definition of an authentic vineyard stay, perfect for up to four guests seeking a peaceful location to take in the best of the Hunter Valley. Located on Wine Country Drive in Rothbury, guests will immediately feel a sense of place when they turn into the rose-edged entrance and traveling along the native bushland driveway, arriving at the country chapel-like, 2-bedroom cottage within the house paddock of Scarborough family’s Sunshine Vineyard. This winemaker’s cottage has the charm of yesteryear with the fusion of comforts you would wish for to create a very special and memorable rural escape. Casual, charming in style and deeply comfortable, staying at Scarborough Cottage is an opportunity to relax, take a breath and feel at ease as you and your guests enjoy the beauty that only nature and the wide-open space can give.
Scarborough Cottage is conveniently located only just 28 kms from the Hunter Expressway, the Historic town of Branxton and Huntlee Shopping Centre, as well as 7.3 km to Hunter Valley Gardens, 6 km to Scarborough Wine Co. Cellar Door, 3.5 km to Cessnock Airport and, even closer to The Vintage Greg Norman designed Golf Course, Bistro Nineteen, major concert and wedding venues as well as restaurants such as Muse and Amanda’s on the Edge. Tour operators will happily collect you from this property so you can experience the luxury of a private driver and fully enjoy the tasting experiences the valley is famous for.
Scarborough Cottage has a classic layout with a country kitchen, separate living and dining rooms, two king bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, BBQ deck with views as well as a petite, sun-drenched deck off the dining room, reverse cycle air-conditioning, laundry with washer and dryer, and Wi-Fi.
Wake and stretch out on the outdoor chairs in the sun with your morning coffee, and plan your day of exploring the valley, wine tasting, playing golf or dining at any of the fabulous restaurants nearby. Given the tranquillity of the location, we would totally understand if you simply chose to spend the day at the cottage, cooking and catching up with friends, curl up with a great book and a glass of Scarborough Chardonnay or equally, going back to bed for more restful slumber in the cottage’s seriously luxurious king beds.
As part of your stay, guests will also be able to enjoy a complimentary wine tasting at the iconic, Scarborough Wine Co. Cellar Door on Gillards Road in Pokolbin (bookings required), and experience excellence in Hunter wine and heart-warming hospitality.
This charming escape in the Hunter Valley is like no other and we know you will want to return to this gorgeous, vineyard hideaway often.

Property Reviews
Clean, idyllic and very evocative of the beautiful Hunter Valley
Lovely cottage. Clean idyllic and very evocative of the beautiful Hunter Valley. Comfortable beds, kitchen supplied with all you need. Veranda for vineyard viewing kangaroo watching or just reading. Professional service and friendly in terms of booking. Loved the complimentary wine on arrival. Set the tone.
Will definitely return
Amazing memories here, will definitely return.
Small family stay
The cottage is ideal for a small family stay – especially if you are coming from overseas as it gives you a nice idea of living on a country property in rural Australia. It is very well set up and I will recommend it to anyone who asks me where to stay near the Hunter Valley vineyards or where to stay in the country near Sydney. Bonus of kangaroos on the other side of the fence. Scarborough wines in my view are better than they have ever been despite climate change and it is nice to stay in a place connected with them.
Peace and tranquility
We absolutely loved it. The peace and tranquility of the location is great. Very happy with the whole package
