Block Eight Estate Tree Tops Villa

Tree Tops Villa is a luxurious one-bedroom, secluded retreat designed for privacy, comfort and connection with nature. The villa features a large undercover verandah with sweeping views over the lake and estate, offering the perfect place to unwind and take in the peaceful surrounds.

Guests can relax in the spa bath, watch kangaroos grazing from their private deck, or enjoy cosy evenings by the open fireplace during cooler months. With its own fully fenced private garden, Tree Tops Villa is also perfectly suited for guests travelling with a well-behaved dog.

Block Eight Estate is a stunning 100-acre private retreat nestled in the heart of the Hunter Valley wine country. Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, natural bushland and beautifully maintained park-like grounds, the estate enjoys sweeping views from the Barrington Tops to the Brokenback Range—inviting guests to fully immerse themselves in its natural beauty and peaceful surroundings.

Our exclusive guest-only Wine Room, set over a sparkling lake, provides a serene space to enjoy boutique estate wines while watching the sunset.

Block Eight Estate is designed as a tranquil and romantic adults-only escape. We accommodate a maximum of 10 guests at any one time across the estate and operate under a strict no-children policy. Children and infants are not permitted on the property under any circumstances, including visitors, to preserve a peaceful and uninterrupted experience for all guests.

For those wanting to explore the region, we are ideally located neighbouring Squires Vineyard, within walking or cycling distance to RidgeView Cellar Door and Restaurant, and only a short drive from many of the Hunter Valley’s most celebrated wineries and dining experiences. Helicopter transfers and winery tours can also collect directly from the estate.

The estate is home to kangaroos, wallabies and abundant native wildlife and birdlife, offering guests a true countryside experience. We also regularly foster rescue dogs and have a dedicated “Puppy House” where guests may spend time with the puppies. Simple farm experiences such as feeding ducks or collecting fresh eggs are also available.

Each luxury villa is thoughtfully appointed with hotel-quality linen, plush towels, premium toiletries and curated inclusions such as our award-winning estate olive oil. All guests are welcomed with a complimentary bottle of estate wine and a welcome gift on arrival.

Other villas on the estate include Water View (pet-friendly), Vineyard View, Gum Trees and Barrington View.
