Miss the traffic heading home and really make the most of your stay.
Important note for party planners: Unfortunately, this is not the property for you. This home located in a quiet neighbourhood, so a hens/bucks/schoolies type celebration is not appropriate. We can easily determine if the house rule of “No parties or events” is disrespected, and this means additional charges and/or eviction will apply, which everyone wants to avoid. If you are unsure, please enquire before booking.
THE Important Stuff - Bedroom 1: 1 Queen bed Bedroom 2: 1 Queen bed Bedroom 3: 1 Queen bed Bedroom 4: 2 x single beds Bedroom 5: 1 Queen bed Bedroom 6: 1 Queen bed
How We Price: The booking price is based on a minimum number of guests. Any guests above this number are chargeable on a per person/per night rate. The system will automatically calculate the correct rate when you enter the required number of guests. Reductions in guest numbers are non-refundable.
Arrival Details: Access to the property is made simple. You’ll receive an access code via SMS just before 3pm on your arrival day, which you’ll use for the duration of your stay.Standard check-in is at 3pm. While an earlier arrival may be possible, it cannot be confirmed until the afternoon prior to your arrival. If an earlier check-in is available, we will send you an SMS by 4pm the day before to confirm.
Linen: 1 set of full bed linens and 1 bath towel per person are supplied. Guests may wish to bring extra towels depending on the length of their stay. Pool/Lake/Beach towels are BYO
Guest Amenities: We are Eco-Friendly - to help reduce wastage, we supply a single bottle of 3in1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash in all showers. In addition, guests are advised to bring their own personal preferred bathroom products/amenities and free Wifi.
Wifi is provided complimentary on behalf of the owner. It is intended to be used in an appropriate manner by all guests. As the service is provided by an external 3rd party, Weekenda cannot and do not guarantee the speed or efficacy of this property's wifi connection nor do we pay any compensation for interruption of service for any reason.
Pools: If the property has a Swimming Pool then it will be opened for swimming for the start of the NSW September School Holidays and closed and Winterised immediately after the NSW Easter School Holidays have been completed.
Fires and Firewood: Internal wood fireplaces and outdoor fire pits only operate after the NSW Easter School Holidays up to before the NSW September School Holidays in line with NSW state fire restrictions. Please note: we will normally supply enough firewood, kindling & fire-starters for between 1-2 nights of your stay. For guests wishing to have additional fires, we suggest BYO Firewood, Kindling, and Starters which can be easily purchased from the local service stations.
No Party Policy: All reservations operate under a Strict No-Party & Non-Excessive Noise Policy as prescribed in the NSW Short-Term Letting Legislation and Local Council Laws. This property is in a Residential Area. Failure to comply can put the security bond into jeopardy and may lead to police-assisted eviction and/or extra charges being levied. We hate to have to note this but the reality is that so far this year we have had to evict 3 groups for overstacking/bad/anti-social behavior.
Extra Guests / Visitors: The number of people nominated on your booking is the maximum number of people that are allowed to be on the property at any one time, including visitors. Visitors may be requested and if approved must be approved in writing with Weekenda staff. Simply put, if Mum and Dad want to come over for a BBQ then we are likely to approve. If 10 extra people want to stop by we are unlikely to approve, which could put your booking at risk. We will always try to be reasonable with reasonable people within property constraints and House Rules.
Cameras and Noise Monitoring: There are no external security cameras at this location presently but the owner reserves the right at any time to install external cameras at their discretion. Any camera install will be in line with local regulations. A noise monitoring device is installed - fines apply to guests found to have disconnected, removed or damaged the noise device. These devices are used to monitor and maintain ours and guests responsibilities under the NSW STR Code of Conduct.
Guest Registration / ID Check : Weekenda requires every guest to complete and sign an electronic guest registration prior to arrival which will ask for photo ID i.e. a copy of your Drivers Licence or Passport. The primary booker will also be required to complete a list with the guests names and actual mobile numbers. In the event we are unable to reach the primary booker, it is very important we can get a hold of other guests. These documents will be deleted after your departure. Access Codes are only released to Registered and Verified Guests.
Critical Update: Due to an unprecedented influx of fraudulent bookings, we are forced to impose a policy that protects our clients, industry and community against those attempting to commit fraud and theft. Any booking made within 5 days of arrival is required to provide a photo of a valid credit card in the same full name of the primary guest to match the supplied identification document. Failure of these documents matching will result in the booking being cancelled and all funds processed returned to the original card assumed as stolen and thus a fraudulent transaction. We trust we have our honest and genuine customers understanding this policy is in place to protect all parties.
Insurance: As always, but ever so more due to recent times, we strongly encourage any holidaymakers to obtain a very inexpensive 3rd Party Domestic Travel Insurance Policy to cover you for all manners of matters which may restrict travel. This is particularly helpful for things like Hunter Valley Concert cancellations, Covid or Medical and Other Emergencies for which we don't provide refunds, and anything which falls under our standard Terms & Conditions irrespective of the reason. We suggest reviewing policies with 'Cover-More' or 'Travel Insurance Direct' or 'Insureandgo'
This property is managed by Weekenda, a licensed real estate. Weekenda staff are available 7 days a week to assist from your initial enquiry through to your departure and everything in between.
We look forward to having you stay with us.

This is our second stay at Roscrea and it did not disappoint. A well equipped amd spacious property to spend some quality time with the family with the pool as a great plus. We had an enjoyable time despite some wet weather we got during our stay! Thabkyou Roscrea!
This house has everything a large or small family needs. Beds and pillows are very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. They even have toys our kids were very entertained. The games room is another plus, we will definitely be planning to stay again.
Great property with lots of space for large families. House had everything you could possibly need. Adults and kids had a great time being away for xmas
We really enjoyed our weekend at Roscrea. It is a beautiful homestead in a beautiful location. Very restful. We explored the nearby historic towns as well as exploring the property itself. The pool was lovely too and nice and warm. Thanks for a great weekend
It cater for all of our needs from the pool to the bbq and the outdoor fire to the freezer with ice.
It was for a memorial service for my mother/grandmother and we had 3 generation staying at the house.
There was room for everyone inside and out.
We do an annual adults weekend away every year and this house has been our favourite so far. We had cooler weather but it was still so fun, with the large lawn space we played lots of sport games that was provided in a large games box. We loved how every couple had their own bathroom and the large dinning spaces and loads of seating. We will come back again for sure.
Amazing!
This property was beyond our expectations in every way.
It rained the whole weekend but it certainly didn’t dampen our spirits. We all loved being together & hanging out around an indoor & out door fire.
Roscrea is a beautiful property. A perfect place to stay if you are looking for seclusion and a place to spend quality time with your family. Plenty of space for the multi - generational family. The property has open fire places for a winter stay and the bonus of a pool if staying during the summer. The house is so clean and well equipped. We would definitely recommend a stay at Roscrea and hope to return again soon. Thank you!
A group of 9 old friends, all aged in their 60s or 70s, stayed here for three days. The property is well equipped and comfortable, with two different places for 9 people to eat together. We catered or ourselves for all meals ( and given the distance of the property from towns that is the only realistic alternative), but the facilities of the property were well able to cope with that. The area surrounding the homestead is attractive.. The photo of the pool suggests that it is larger than it really is, but that was not a concern for us.

What a hidden gem
This was a very last minute stay and the owners went out of their way to assist us and ensure our stay was amazing.
Everything you need for couples or families are at this property and only a short drive to the Hunter tourist sites
Great place to stay in Summer or Winter.
Our group loved our stay at Rosecrea. Well set up for family/friend groups and kids. So much space for everyone, lots to do and a beautiful property to explore. It was always a nice surprise waking up to cows just beyond the fence each morning!
Beautiful and very very clean and well kept homestay
Beautiful property, and very very clean and well maintained. Extremely accomodating for all my needs. Each bathroom had a blow dryer, kitchen basic ingredients provided, linen, towels, pool toys. We had everything we needed.
Excellent property with plenary of room for everyone..
One bedroom does not have an ensuite (as advertised) but there are 4 bathrooms in the house..
Overall an excellent place to relax with friends..
Property was magnificent, stayed for 2 nights, the outdoor fire place made for a beautiful ambience.....
After doing a cycling loop was fabulous to come back to hot showers and sit around in the spacious comfortable lounge room with the fire going views from every window.. Bedrooms and ensuites fantastic...
Would definately recommend this property.

Perfect property
Roscrea had so much space both indoor and outdoor for all activities. Rooms were great, pool was fantastic and it was the perfect location to relax with no light, sound or distractions around. Something out of a novel.
This is the perfect house for groups, stunning views!
We were a group of families with our young children. This was the perfect house as each family had their own bathroom. We enjoyed the lawn, the breathtaking views, the well equipped kitchen and the multiple gathering spaces. The location is stunning. We had the best time and wish we could have stayed longer, but grateful for the late check out time. Hoping to book again soon.

An absolute gem!
This was a last minute booking over the new year period and so glad we did book! What an amazing property!
Set in a very quiet and private surrounding with views you cannot get sick of, we loved everything about it.
Staying as 2 families, the house is well fitted out and spacious, fitting us all very comfortably. Having 8 kids amongst us, the pool was great and the trampoline and cubby house a bonus!
Overall a most enjoyable and memorable stay in the Hunter Valley! Highly recommend and we look forward to going back.
Loved the location and peaceful atmosphere. But the house looks old and furniture faulty in some rooms. Living room curtains are hard to draw. We were not concerned much about those as they were not major issues. But the television is below standard. There should be a smart TV as people expect to have YouTube or other connection facilities these days. Kitchen was excellent and had all facilities. Overall it’s a nice place to stay if improved a little bit.
All of us enjoyed the stay.
Thanks and regards

The perfect family retreat for the young and old!
We recently stayed at Roscrea Estate for our family’s annual Christmas in July weekend. Every detail of this place has been well thought out, well maintained and comes with the most picturesque surrounds. The accommodation was very comfortable, with each of our 4 families enjoying the privacy of their own bedrooms and adjoining ensuites. We spent each day soaking up the winter’s sun on the full wrap around verandah while the children enjoyed the use of the trampoline, cubbyhouse, bikes and surrounding gardens. There was no need to venture away for meals as the house included a well equipped kitchen, BBQ and large outdoor table setting placed directly in front of an outside fireplace- perfect for our winter break! To cap it off, each night we were able to retreat to the cosy lounge room area to sit in front of a second fireplace or stay comfortably warm in the ducted air conditioning! I would highly recommend this place to a family wanting to reconnect, rejuvenate and escape. We look forward to returning- possibly in the warmer weather so the children can also make use of the swimming pool!
Simply breathtaking. What an amazing property. From the booking experience, to the communication with the property managers to the property itself we couldn’t fault it. Even the weather was perfect for us. Would definetely go back and stay many more times. Have already recommended this property to friends and family. What a wonderful experience we had.
