About this property

The Cottage @ Hunter Gleann | Olive Grove Accommodation in Pokolbin

  • Welcome to The Cottage @ Hunter Gleann, where relaxed wine country luxury meets total privacy. Set high on our 14-acre hilltop property on iconic Hermitage Road, this spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom retreat offers panoramic, 360-degree views over our working olive groves, neighboring vineyards, and the majestic Brokenback Mountain Range to the west.

    Far more than your average cottage, this is a purpose-built sanctuary designed for effortless group getaways, family weekends, or romantic vineyard escapes. Wake up to the absolute serenity of the valley, watch resident kangaroos roam the acreage, and unwind in style just minutes from the best of Pokolbin.

    The Living & Dining Area: A spacious open-plan hub featuring comfortable seating and a dining setting for 6 people. Gather around the cozy indoor fireplace on cooler evenings to relax, catch a movie, or simply unplug.

    The Built-In Bar: Yes, a private bar! Pour your favorite local wine or mix up a drink without having to head back to the kitchen.

    The Kitchen & Laundry: A fully equipped modern kitchen ready for anything from a quick breakfast to a gourmet dinner, complete with an internal laundry for your convenience.

    Bedrooms & Bathrooms

    Outdoor Living

    Location & Local Attractions
    You couldn't ask for a better spot to explore the Hunter Valley:

    Dine & Indulge: You can literally leave the car keys behind and take an easy stroll across the paddock to Restaurant Botanica and Spa Anise at Spicers Vineyards Retreat. Numerous other world-class cellar doors and restaurants are right on your doorstep.

Great getaway

We loved our weekend away staying at Hermitage Hideaway cottage. There’s plenty of space & it’s such a peaceful little pocket of the Hunter yet close enough to all the action.

Great stay

“We arrived to a bottle of wine from my favourite winery (which Rachael and James so kindly remembered!) and it only got better from there! The space is incredible, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was stocked and it was so close to everything! I will definitely be staying at Hermitage Hideaway again!” Brent
