Dog friendly visit to the vineyards
Nice well presented house. Perfect yard for the dogs. Responsive host. Main dining and lounge area is outside under cover which is perfect for the warmer months.

Just What we needed
Accommodation exactly as described. Additional surprises in the availability of condiments, Plastic wrap etc. There was absolutely nothing we needed that we couldn’t find. We had a dog with us - she loved running around the garden. And even here the host was thoughtful with dog bowls and toys! Many vineyards near the property and some are also dog friendly. Mark communicated really well with us and was a thoughtful host. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Very cosy and well stocked home. Comfortable beds. Medium sized yard for dog was great. Best feature is outdoor deck. Great to relax and read. Owner gave good tips about places to eat.

A lovely return trip
This was our second stay at the flamingo house and it was just as lovely as the first stay. Check in was as easy as it can get. The property owner messages us to let us know the mulberry tree was in fruit and to help ourselves. The house was clean and tidy and despite having plenty of useful kitchen equipment and a good pantry could benefit from more cups/glasses. 5 mugs in a 6 sleeper house wasn’t quite sufficient. We would 100% come and stay here again and whilst we didn’t bring the dogs this time the large secure garden would have been perfect for them.

Lovely well equipped property with very responsive owner
A well-equipped property with everything that you need for a stay. Great deck area and large dog fenced garden. A very quiet street in Cessnock which was central to all Hunter valley wineries and activities. Mark was a responsive host who had thought of most things and given clear instructions. Would definitely recommend and come back sometime.

Flamingo house is spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Everything you could possibly want or need has been provided by the owner. The rear deck and yard was a lovely place to sit and eat and our dog enjoyed the peaceful surrounds. As other reviewers have said this is a very quiet place where you will get a good nights sleep. A great location close to the Hunter Valley wineries. Thanks to the owner for a great stay.

Lovely dog friendly property, would definitely return
Fantastic property with 3 good sized bedrooms and a big dog friendly yard. This has to have been the best stocked holiday house we’ve ever stayed in with everything we needed available. The home owner was very responsive to messages. The house itself is a short drive from the high street but parking is a breeze so no hardship. We would 100% stay here again!

Flamingo House is a beautifully renovated cottage. It has a wonderful large backyard which was very secure for our Cavalier King Charles. The pantry is generously stocked with condiments etc for cooking at the cottage and the kitchen is fully equipped with many appliances. There is also a lovely covered outside deck for eating or just relaxing on the lounges. Would definitely stay here again!

A lovely, easy, friendly experience
So hard to find good accommodation that takes fur babies and is this clean. The house (kitchen, bathroom and bedding) was immaculate. House is cute and welcoming, with lovely quirky touches (flamingo flare!), Netflix, Stan, dog toys and an incredibly well appointed kitchen of clean kitchenware. A nice deck to watch kids / dogs play in the garden. Location is great, less than 15 mins to Polkolbin (Wineries, Zoo, Cafe Enzo, Hunter Valley Gardens etc). Coles is minutes away and there’s an excellent playground in Cessnock...better than most in the city! Communication with Mark was excellent....friendly and speedy. Thanks for a great stay!
