Sweetacres Billabong Cottage - Pokolbin

Billabong Cottage at Sweetacres offers so much peace, relaxation, and enjoyment for guests onsite as well as being ideally located to take advantage for many cellar doors, restaurants, attractions, and activities within moments of your cottage. 

Billabong Cottage is perfect for up to four guests and is exclusively positioned on the edge of the Sweetacres’ stunning natural billabong. Surrounded by casuarina woodlands, your days will be spent enjoying this idyllic location watching the ever-changing view of the billabong as it reflects the sky. The cottage features two well-appointed ensuite rooms with fans, a fully self-contained kitchen, air-conditioned open-plan sitting room with a cosy combustion wood fire. The extensive entertainment sun deck reaches out into the billabong and makes you feel like your cottage is floating. Teaming with birds, natural wildlife, and fish, it the perfect spot for a BBQ lunch, or a lazy afternoon in the sun. Guests are welcome to throw in a line or go for a relaxing row in the billabong boat and float away.

Moments away from Billabong Cottage, sample the delights of Hermitage Road and dine at Botanica, and Piggs Peake. Sample excellent food and brew at The Farm where you can horse ride, take a Segway tour, or meet the animals! Enjoy terrific hospitality whilst wine-tasting at neighbouring Hunter Wine Lab, Wombat Crossing, Thomas Wines, Ironbark Hill Brewhouse, Keith Tulloch or Tintilla. Wedding guests will love being only moments from signature reception venues including Enzo, The White Barn and Greystone Estate. Sweetacres is only 7 minutes’ drive to the Hunter Valley Gardens, The Vintage Golf Course, Roche, and Hope Estates as well as all food and wine delights of Hermitage, Broke and Deasys Roads.

For the active at heart, take a bush walk around Sweetacres’ walking tracks past the billabong and the casuarina woodlands or, wander across the lawn to enjoy The Deck leisure area or a dip in the refreshing shared Guest saltwater pool. You may also like to hire a bike and take the Hermitage Road cycle track to explore the best this destination has on offer.

Amazing Cottage

Such an amazing cottage. Spacious, clean, peaceful and serene. Loved looking out onto the lake and taking the boat for a row around the lake. Great location, lots of wineries and eateries close by.

Amazing

Amazing setting and beautiful lake.

Beautiful Oasis

When I saw the Billabong Moon property I knew I had to stay there. It was a beautiful oasis in the heat of the Hunter Valley summer.

Very pleasing stay

Very nice property, so serene…fire place was brilliant.

Our stay was an absolute pleasure and the picturesque and serene surroundings made our getaway that much more enjoyable. Definitely plan to come back again!

Beautiful cottage. We look forward to staying there again.

The octtage was the perfect little weekend escape.

Perfect escape

The cottage was the perfect little weekend escape.

Very relaxing spot

Love it. Everything you need is there. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Great place for a short stay

Great place for a short stay, we really enjoyed wood burner fireplace and calming views over the billabong. Walking distance to couple of wineries was also a bonus.

Sweet little cottage

Pictures don’t do this sweet little cottage justice. We had such a peaceful, relaxing weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful/peaceful

We absolutely loved our stay and we were blown away with how beautiful/peaceful the location is, how close we were to everything and can’t wait to come stay again. Nothing to improve, the 3 of us loved our stay and hope to come back and stay again

Quiet getaway

Lovely space for a quiet getaway. The billabong and the boat for having a row around it were our favourites. We visited to see the Hunter Valley Gardens lights and it was very close to that which was great. We should have packed more food with us for the trip but the local shops were not hard to find and just a bit of a drive away to stock up.

Very nice place

Very nice place for a relax & comfortable short break. A very relax and beautiful mid-week get away. The Sweetacres is a very private and well look after property. The Billabong Cottage we stayed at is as good (if not better) as described online. Definitely would stay here again when we are up here at Hunter Valley.

Relaxing and peaceful

Very relaxing and peaceful stay. Beautiful spot on the lake. Owners very lovely people. Billabong cottage is very clean and comfortable. Will definitely use Hunter Valley Stays again. Next booking will be at Treetops 🙂

Great old school feel

Beautiful, private home with super comfy beds. Very clean, with a great old school feel. Would book during the cooler months so we could use the fire next time

The only noise is the beautiful wildlife

Beautiful, tranquil stay. Loved the fountain, very relaxing. Clean property. Very comfortable bed. Loved it. Definitely recommend if you are after a peaceful, no noise stay. The only noise is the beautiful wildlife
