Hassle free

The Vico Monti was perfect for the five couples celebrating a business milestone. The setting was instantly relaxing, especially lazing by the plunge pool. Everything was clean and simple to use. Great BBQ made it easy to cook for the group of 10. We had an easy stroll up to the Yellow Billy restaurant for lunch. Plenty of space and facilities, all was hassle free.

The communication was amazing with Hunter Valley Stays. We really enjoyed our time here as everyone had ample space. Kids loved the play room and pool table. The grounds are stunning and the house is very clean. We loved having drinks and watching the sun set over the vineyards. Great accommodation for our family weekend, everyone loved it.

Amazing place

Amazing place that is perfect to share with your family. The grounds are stunning and the house is very well maintained and stocked. We loved having drinks and watching the sun set over the vineyards in your own private and intimate space. The plunge pool was perfect for an early morning or late evening dip to refresh. Cannot wait to come back again!

10/10 Property

9 ladies had a wonderful, relaxing 2 night stay at Vico Monti. Being winter, the fireplaces were great, and all the rooms were well appointed and super comfortable. We also enjoyed some drinks in the late afternoon winter sunshine in the courtyard.

Janet - Jun, 2022 via Hunter Valley Stays

The house was lovely which added to a memorable weekend.

The group of people all agreed we would stay there again, it was fantastic. The scenery on Sunday afternoon was very special, glorious sunset, great venue and a fantastic bunch of friends.

Michael - May, 2022 via Hunter Valley Stays

Love Vico Monti

This is our second stay and we love the property. It really suits our family's needs. The improvements you are making to the grounds are really lovely. The property is very central to all our family and is a great catch up location opportunity for us. It is very comfortable and offers great share space as well as places we can escape to when we need a break. Love Vico Monti and plan to visit again next year.

Maree - Mar, 2022 via Hunter Valley Stays

Vico Monti has everything you need!

Where do I start! Vico Monti is just gorgeous. The provisioning of the kitchen and bathrooms is well above what you get in most airbnbs. Beautifully decorated and very comfy beds. Plenty of room to spread out - the rumpus room just a step or so from the main house is such a great area to relax. Great pool with the best view of the dam and vineyards. If we didn't need to leave to go to a wedding we would have just stayed at Vico Monti all weekend. Very clean throughout and the welcome bottle of wine is a lovely touch. I highly recommend Vico Monti for all of the above and also it's location - so easy to get to all the wineries in the Hunter.

A lovely property, tastefully decorated and well maintained.

Vico Monti is a beautifully appointed property with a very welcoming feel about it. This was a family gathering we hold annually and this was a first held at a non-family location. It was a great success and definitely something we want to repeat again next year if dates are available.

Maree - Sep, 2020 via Hunter Valley Stays

Helen - Aug, 2020 via Hunter Valley Stays

Terrific!

Terrific place for our two families. Lots of great features, things for kids to do and seperate living areas for the times you want to escape the kids. Super close walk to some great wineries and eateries.

Melissa - Jul, 2020 via AirBnb

Oh the sunsets!

What an amazing place. A lovely well equipped large home with space for everyone. Extremely clean and tidy! We loved the open fireplace and nothing beats a cheese platter and wine out the back while watching the amazing sunsets over the dam and vineyards. Vico Monti we will be back!

Molly - Jun, 2020 via Trip Advisor

A wonderful stay and we would love to book this house again in the future!

Angeline - Jun, 2020 via Hunter Valley Stays

Beautiful home

Lovely property with a beautiful view.

Simone - Dec, 2019 via Hunter Valley Stays

Lovely property with a beautiful view.

Simone - Dec, 2019 via Hunter Valley Stays

Beautiful home

The property was absolutely fantastic! The house had so much space and was beautifully laid out so everyone could enjoy their own space, or come together as a group at times. There was so much consideration given to our stay including having the house cooled for our arrival. The plunge pool was beautiful and it was amazing to relax in the outdoor area and watch the kangaroos come to the dam every afternoon. Would come back in a heartbeat!

Renee - Dec, 2019 via Hunter Valley Stays

Plenty of space to spread out

Beautiful property, very comfortable and everything and more than we needed.

Noelene - Oct, 2019 via Hunter Valley Stays

Warm and inviting home

A warm and inviting home in a great quiet central location to explore the Hunter. The outlook was soothing. Two great living spaces for a large family to enjoy and plenty of open spaces for the kids to play. The annexed living space accommodated the 4 teenaged children with their own bathroom, TV, kitchenette and pool table, leaving the main for the adults to enjoy the bold reds of the Hunter.

David - Jul, 2019 via Hunter Valley Stays

Beautiful home

We loved Vico Monti. It was beautifully renovated and had everything we needed.

Dominic - Jun, 2019 via Hunter Valley Stays

Mark - May, 2019 via Hunter Valley Stays

Comfortable and relaxing place to chill

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Vico Monti house. It was just what we were looking for, when we had decided on getting together for the weekend, and offered a comfortable and relaxing place to chill out after a day touring the wineries.

Fiona - May, 2019 via Hunter Valley Stays

Just what we were looking for

Fiona - May, 2019 via Hunter Valley Stays

Amazing House

It is an amazing quiet location and with a warm house and beautiful scenery.

Kristof - Apr, 2019 via Hunter Valley Stays

Perfect for a group of 12

Group of 12 adults stayed here over the Easter long weekend. Everyone was very impressed with Vico Monti! It feels spacious and very clean. The rooms were all furnished nicely and beds very comfortable. The area is so peaceful and it was so nice having drinks and nibbles outside of an evening looking at the vineyards and lake. We even saw some kangaroos nearby as the sun was setting making a very picturesque view! The kitchen has all the essential cooking appliances/ utensils needed with oils, salt, pepper etc. The complimentary Vico Monti wine and Easter eggs were a nice welcoming touch and very appreciated! Vico Monti is in walking distance of the Brewhouse/ Peter Drayton wines and also Piggs Peake winery so we really liked the location. The only thing which I may suggest is to offer wifi as the reception can be a bit hit and miss, but other than that cannot fault our stay and would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Danielle - Apr, 2019 via AirBnb

Gorgeous Home

“A gorgeous home at a great location. Short kms to winery’s. The perfect place to unwind and relax. Good size comfortable beds. Plenty of room/space if you have children.”

Caitlin - Mar, 2019 via AirBnb

Facilities provided were amazing!

Property and house was absolutely stunning! So much scenery and all the facilities provided were amazing! Thank you for providing us with such a good weekend away!

Claire - Mar, 2019 via Hunter Valley Stays

Awesome

Return visitor and the place again has improved. New outdoor area soon to be completed with a soon completed fire place will be great for the winter months and not mention a plunge pool will also be great for the summer. The central location allows for easy access to all local attractions. After long day it is great to return back to Vico Monti and chill. I must stay all facilities are clean, comfortable and the beds are great slept like a baby. Need to to get the name of the supplier!

Paul - Mar, 2019 via Trip Advisor

We will be back every year!

Great! Once again, had a great time at a great location with great friends. We have stayed here before and loved it, which is why we came back this year and will come back again.
