You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Old School House. A beautiful house in the Hunter Valley close to Wollombi.

The Old School House is a charming house built on the site of the original School House for the local area. The original cook house chimneys still stand in the garden adding to the charm of the place.
You will feel like you've escaped the hustle and bustle of everyday life when you step out onto the deck and relax to the sounds of nature. It is a place to spend quality time with friends or love ones enjoying a bonfire in the winter while marveling at the beauty of the night sky with no light pollution.
It is situated so you are in easy reach of the local town of Wollombi which has a couple of restaurants, local shop and a few craft shops.
The Krinklewood Winery is a short 10min drive round the corner, but if you're looking to visit the main wineries in the area, they aren't far either. About a 35minute drive away.
The house itself consists of 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen, lounge room and a small snug. It has a lovely outdoor, undercover deck with fans and has been beautifully decorated throughout.

Great stay
Perfect location for where we were going for lunch but very remote so you need to be prepared for catering . Love shack could have had a queen bed and an extra toilet would be good when I have 6 adults staying .

Beautiful getaway!
We used this place for the groomsmen to get ready in for our wedding and then myself and husband stayed for our mini honeymoon and it was a beautiful house and we had a great experience with the owners. They have really thought of everything! Beautiful private location and close to all the hunter valley has to offer!

We booked this house as part of accomodation for my husband and his groomsmen before our wedding and it was such a beautiful place for them to spend time together! Susan is so lovely and very easy to deal with. Thank you for having us!

Beautiful Peaceful Surrounds
As the tittle states, really a beautiful, quite and relaxing place to visit and unwind. Lack of phone reception was actually a blessing and would love to come back to the property again with the children to get them off the screens and playing sports on the grass. Would love to be able to have campfires in the future when booking in different seasons.

This property was all that we needed! Comfortable and welcoming. Kids loved the space, eating out on the verandah and watching all the beautiful birds. Would love to come back.
