Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Darling Harbour

Great place and location for a group base to explore the Hunter valley. Relaxing and easy to stay. Good amenities and well appointed house.

Our family of eight adults enjoyed our weekend in Pokolbin. We enjoyed the view to the mountains from the balcony and the large yard with three rustic chipping greens to practice our golf. The house was spacious and the ducted air-conditioning provided warmth during some cold winter weather. The BBQ are was also excellent. The property is walking distance to a few cellar doors and a nearby restaurant provided a free shuttle service for convenience. Melissa was a wonderful host and made every effort to ensure we had an enjoyable stay.

We had an amazing time at this property! From the moment we booked, Sandy was outstanding—super communicative, incredibly flexible, and genuinely accommodating. She went above and beyond to make our stay special, even hanging up a birthday sign for my father-in-law, which was such a thoughtful touch! The house itself was perfect for our family. The kids were thrilled with the games room—it kept them entertained for hours. We also loved having separate living areas for some quiet time, as well as a spacious communal area where we could all come together and relax. It’s clear Sandy pays attention to the little details that make a big difference. We felt truly welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place for families or groups looking for a comfortable, well-equipped, and heartwarming getaway!

Peaceful and relaxing place right on the river. Clean and cosy house. Kev and Kez were quick with responding to the messages. Would love to come back again.

Ziona’s beautiful home was perfect for my little birthday trip with friends. The house was stunning and had mostly everything we needed for our stay! The front door is a bit temperamental but once knowing how it works/ how to do it there is no issues!! Very quite neighbourhood and is perfect for morning or afternoon walks/ runs with the beach also very close. Ziona was extremely helpful throughout our stay with recommendations in regards to food and drinks, aswell as small things we may needed help with: heating the pool, front door, fuze box And was very responsive. Overall our stay was beautiful and would definitely book with her again.

This is the second time we’ve visited Paul’s place and hopefully they’ll be another. It’s a quintessential Australian coast house, full of character and warmth. The beach is across the road and you fall asleep with the sound of the ocean. Heaven! Great back yard, everything you need and Paul is a 10 out of 10 host!

I had an excellent stay at this host’s property, the property was really clean and the host was really responsive to any of my enquiries. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay during their visit to the Hunter Valley.

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely family and pet-friendly house! The communication with the host was smooth and attentive, making the entire process effortless. The location is truly wonderful—peaceful and secluded, yet still conveniently close to everything we needed. Our family and pets felt right at home, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in a beautiful setting. We’d love to return!

Great location. Easy walk into Darling Harbour and public transport. Included parking was also really convenient. Hosts were excellent as well!

Had a great time. The place was clean and well maintained. In a cozy and modern apartment. The location is fantastic, a three minute drive will get you to the beach, IGA shops, local Cafe, or the local pub. The town is peaceful with plenty of road side parking. The host, was very helpful. Providing clear communication and places to go around town. It is a great choice for a couple to get away for a beach side holiday.

What a wonderful place and location to stay for 4 nights with our elderly parents in their mid-80s! The house was very clean, easy and safe for them to move around in, and they loved having their own bathroom. They even managed to walk to the Rocks Market, Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House! An added bonus was the Hero of Waterloo pub (built in 1843) just across the street from the property. Thank you very much, Jan, for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home! Lizha & Geoff

We had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to come back!! highly recommend!! Great location only a short walk to great cafes. Comfy bed and the gardens are stunning - our dog loved laying in the sun here!! Thanks again Carol!

Yantra's place was a peaceful hideaway tucked away in Avoca. The place was clean and well maintained yet cozy, had all the amenities we needed (portable stove, pots and pans, oil, utensils, washing machine, internet, dryer). The outdoor sitting area was comfortable and overlooked the beautiful garden. The place colourful and full of personality, we felt very at home during our stay. Thank you again.

Great little apartment for 2 people. Well equipped kitchen with everything you need, and huge bathroom. Comfy bed, great location, and perfect accommodation for a weekend away. We met Terry and he was great :)

We really enjoyed our weekend at this apartment – it had everything we needed and felt like a home away from home. The decor was modern and cosy, and the place was super clean. We loved how close it was to the Honeysuckle foreshore and Darby Street – perfect for dinners and a morning coffee run. The rooftop area was a lovely bonus too. The host made everything easy from check-in to check-out. Would happily come back next time we're in Newcastle!

Thank you for our stay at Balmoral! The family and I had a wonderful time. We have a one year old and a three year old who enjoyed going to the beach each day. The kids had a safe space to play in the enclosed courtyard. We made use of the fully equip kitchen, thank you! Irina was very accommodating and communicated well.

Gina’s place was an amazing place to stay. She was very responsive to all our questions and the photos don’t do this place justice. It was very clean and modern but still providing the cabin feel. We stayed with our kids and they loved it as well. Gina even found a quick solution to put a barrier around the fireplace so kids wouldn’t accidentally touch it. The place is also walking distance to cafe’s and short drive to all activities. Thanks Gina!

We loved our day with Madeleine. The location is superb and having a bath/shower outside was such a treat with such a beautiful view. I just wish we had longer!

Jenny was extremely helpful, when we struggled finding the address due to it being dark outside by the time we got there. Beautiful place, everything you need. Right next to the beach. Had a great time :)

We stayed here for 3 nights, it was so peaceful and relaxing. We loved the outdoor spa, indoor and outdoor fireplaces. We were lucky enough to see some wildlife. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We were able to spend alot of time outside with a lovely view. We would definitely return!

Antonina was a lovely host, who responded straight away to any questions we had. The home was just as described very beautiful with lovely surroundings. We felt so relaxed in this beautiful private surroundings. Would definitely recommend and we will hopefully be coming back in Easter.

We had a beautiful and tranquil weekend here. It was absolutely stunning. Of course the highlight were the gorgeous animals who so friendly and approachable and made the trip feel magical. Loved the spa inside the cabin. Bed was really comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Excellent weekend get away for a family. We stayed with our 2.5 year old and 3 months old and had a wonderful, peaceful family get away. Philip was super helpful and made sure we had everything required, especially for the kiddies. Scrumpy offers something for everyone: warm and peaceful nights in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine, as well as perfectly equipped kitchen for cooking; and games, activities and a wonderful garden to run for kids. We had a wonderful time and will definitely return for a winter family get away.

Loved our stay at June’s little private sanctuary. We absolutely loved the privacy and tranquility. Wallabies were adorable and it was definitely surreal waking up to them at our deck, patiently waiting for food. King parrots were beautiful. We enjoyed the short bush walk, though it was definitely tougher than it looks and offered a good challenge (take this city girl’s words with a pinch of salt for the experienced bush walkers!) We were initially intimidated by the drive in but managed it with a normal sedan. Definitely emerged well recharged. Well recommend it for anyone who needs a break from the city!
