Perfect place for an escape
My friends and I came up for my 21st birthday and made the best memories, thanks to Jill and her family for their accommodation. The property and the beautiful animals made the occasion so much special and we cannot wait to return sometime in the future!

Edenview was perfectly suited to our needs. A beautiful home for a weekend away. We had a wonderful relaxing long weekend celebrating my husbands 50th birthday with family & our fur baby absolutely loved running around in the fully enclosed yard. Highly recommend! Jill is very accommodating & always quick to respond to questions. Having owned a cockatoo ourselves, it was lovely to be greeted by the very friendly Maxi anytime we went near his cage. For anyone looking for a pet friendly getaway....this does not disappoint.

Amazing property with friendly animals (the horses walk up to you for a pat). My 3 year old had the best time and is still talking about it. Everything was as advertised the facilities were well thought out with general living spaces for 14 people. Jill was a awesome host and we cant wait to visit again.

Great place with a beautiful view
Jill’s place was lovely and absolutely perfect for a girls weekend away. We had a picnic outside on the grass and we’re lucky enough to witness beautiful sunsets both nights we were there. Jill helped us out when planning our trip and gave some good suggestions for places to eat in town. Would definitely recommend this place to people looking for a relaxing weekend away :)

Owner is invasive
The house was as described, clean and lovely. The owner resides in this home when guests aren't staying. Much of the fridge/bins were already full on arrival. The owner was terrible to deal with. From the initial booking i was bombarded with questions about the nature of my stay, the people attended and what we plan to do. I had booked my trip months in advance. 4 days prior to my stay i was sent 'terms and conditions' from the owner herself. Nothing to do with my booking with Stayz (some of the conditions even contradict those that are on the stays website). The owner watches her cameras and even makes excuses as to why she needs to come and visit the farm. With those same terms and conditions i received, i was told that she would have to come by daily to feed the animals. This was never told to me when i initially booked. You will get no privacy if you stay here.

Robert you are upset that you were found out with your deception. You booked our home under the premise of having a ‘bonding weekend away with your soccer team’ of 16 men, when in fact you had an organised bucks party planned.

Long weekend getaway
I stayed here with a group of 14 girls for a weekend away over the long weekend. The house was perfect for our group size and everyone felt extremely comfortable during the stay. It was easy to find, extremely clean and the additional touches from the host including fresh eggs from the chickens, wine and chocolate exceeded our expectations. Overall we had a fantastic stay and I would highly recommend this property to anyone travelling to the Hunter region with a large group!

Amazing holiday
We had an amazing holiday at Jill’s farm. Great location with gorgeous views from every room. The animals are friendly. Maxi (a Kookaburra) welcomed us warmly when we entered into the farm. We even had fresh eggs picked from the farm. The house has everything you need. If you do need to buy things, all the big supermarkets are only 15 Mina’s away. Jill was so friendly and helpful and attended to our questions promptly. We enjoyed very much the stay and the kids just loved it. Will definitely come back and recommend to others.

Awesome family getaway (with dogs)! You won't be disappointed.
We stayed at Edenview for a relaxing weekend away with the extended family, 10 people in total. We chose Edenview over others because they were one of the few properties that welcomed our two french bulldogs with open arms. When we first arrived at Edenview we immediately felt relaxed and at home... especially as we were greeted with a 'Hello my darling' from the resident cockatoo. The calmness and rolling views also hit you right away. The lovely welcome gifts and detailed compendium were much appreciated and Jill was very fast to respond to any queries we had over text message. But most appreciated was being able to open the gate and let our two dogs run wild in the fenced off 1/2 acre grassed area. The property is nicely setup and well maintained. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and the kitchen was well equipped and bigger than expected. With 10 people and 2 dogs none of us ever felt like we were living on top of each other. There are so many different rooms and areas on the property for people to get away if they ever feel the need. The first evening was spent having a big family BBQ in the outside covered area. It was good knowing that if the weather did turn (we were blessed with two perfect days) we could still use the outside BBQ and outside seated area. The extra outdoor drinks fridge also came in very handy ;-) After our BBQ we all walked down to the corner of the property and sat under the stars around the fire pit for a few hours. Jill was able to organise a hug ute load of firewood so we were able to sit and enjoy the fire with very little effort. The following day we went to explore a few wineries but because the wind had picked up and many wineries were not overly dog friendly, we decided to head back to Edenview and enjoy the property some more. And we were so glad we did. That afternoon was spent lazing around in the sun on the huge lawn and just enjoying the views, some drinks and some music on the outdoor speakers. And the dogs were able to run wild around us. We finished off the evening by getting a maxi taxi from Cessnock radio cabs to the Royal Oak hotel in Cessnock for a casual dinner and drinks. I highly recommend the maxi taxi if you have 11 people or less and want to be able to enjoy a few drinks without the worry of driving. All in all, we had an awesome time at Edenview. I highly recommend it (especially to those with dogs) and we will definitely be back again. Thank you!

our 3 families had a wonderful weekend of good food, good company and an amazing house to spend our Christmas in July. The beds were comfy, the views were stunning and we sat around the fire pit chatting and laughing. The kids loved the animals and collected fresh eggs for breakfast. We had everything we needed to relax and have a wonderful time in the Hunter Valley. Edenview is highly recommend and Jill was a wonderful host.

We stayed as a group of 9 people & we were very surprised at how roomy this house is! Not once were any of us feeling crowded. The views are absolutely stunning from every angle out the back of the house & we have all taken home some beautiful photos of the sunrise & sunsets.

A beautiful setting for a large family get together!
A huge thank you to Jill who made it very easy and extremely comfortable to enable 4 sisters and 10 nieces/daughters to get together. We went to the Shania Twain concert at hope estate so it wasn’t too far but far enough a way from the crowd. We all loved the country setting as we are all country background and most still on the land. Maxi the cockatoo was wonderful greeting us, the ducks and chickens and the little Shetland pony were a treat. Bedrooms were perfect for us all, so highly recommended and another huge thank you to Jill. Looking forward to returning 😊🎄

Just Perfect
We opened the front door and were greeted by a wonderfully presented home, comfortable beds, and it really did feel like Home away from Home. Everything that we needed and more, definitely exceeded our expectations. Spacious rooms, and living areas, with a wonderful outdoor patio. The views from the backyard are breath taking, watching the animals run around and win everyone's hearts over was fantastic. I think "Goldie" was everyone's favourite. Booking Edenview was the best decision for myself and 12 of my closest friends, they all loved it and we are definitely planning our return holiday. The owners are so easy to deal with and every question was answered and they are extremely helpful and caring. Thank you for opening your home for us and allowing people to experience your relaxing and beautiful home.

Comfortable and spacious property, great for large group
Our group of 18 had a fabulous stay at Edenview. The house is well equipped and comfortable and surprisingly warm even without the lovely wood fire lit. There is plenty of space for adults and kids to have their own zones. The kitchen and outdoor seating and BBQ area are well equipped and there is even an extra fridge outside which was really handy for our large group. Beds were comfy and linen beautiful and everywhere was spotless. We had a few issues with the dishwasher not performing but it wasn’t too much of a hassle. Bringing the dogs and having a secure pen (it is more like a paddock) was great. This comes off the rear of the house so the dogs can be with you while you are using the outdoor entertaining area. The kids enjoyed feeding the ponies apples and checking for fresh eggs. The fire pit was a hit too and far enough away from the house and neighbours we could enjoy it into the night. Jill was super helpful on the run up to our stay, answering all my questions and looking into possible fire bans. Thanks for a lovely weekend break.
