There is a lovingly restored Mine Managers "Cottage" with all the modern conveniences., that sleeps 8\. In addition, there is a new bespoke architecturally designed 3bdr room home with polished concrete floor with underfloor heating, that sleeps 7\. -Called "Noir Abode-finished construction Feb 2024" The homes are set on 50 acres, and your group would be the only guests. It is a perfect escape for family and friends, wedding and reunions. It’s also pet friendly. It has a private 6-hole range golf course, challenging for all types of golfers, as well as dams with yabbies and perch. There are BMX style jumps and tyre swings for the kids, along with 30 acres of groomed grass to safely wear the kids and pets out. The pool and entertainment area are perfect for a sunset drink and swim, whilst taking in the beautiful views of the Broken Back Range. We are in the heart of the concerts and award-winning restaurants in the Hunter Valley. Set just 2 km away from the Vintage Golf Course, the Bimbadgen Winery on MacDonald’s Road and a mere 6-minute drive to Hope Estate. What our Guests say: "What a beautiful home, thank you for sharing it with us. A unique property with so many things to do. Our dogs and family had the best time" Concerts The majority of concerts are held at Bimbadgen Estate (20 min walk away, 4-5 min drive), Hope Estate or Roche Estate which are both a 10 min drive away. If you speak directly with Rover Coaches, they will do a pick up and drop off door to door. Unfortunately, they only run on the major concerts. Ensure you call them in advance to book your seat before they sell out. The coast of the coach fares is approx. $20 per person last time I checked. Weddings, Engagements & Events at Sascha’s Retreat Saschas Retreat is an ideal venue to hold relatively small and affordable weddings. The guidelines are: 1 Naturally only 15 people can stay overnight across both properties (we are not a campsite for caravans, trailers or individual tents, as this requires additional council approval). 2\. We have several wedding packages, for consideration, as we cater for small boutique weddings. Packages are available upon request. If you wish to hold a post-wedding BBQ the following day, there are no additional costs. 3\. Our event organiser and stylist can remove a lot of the stress when planning an event. They are included in our packages and cater to a wide variety of events (weddings, cocktail parties, birthdays etc). 4\. Marquees have been set up historically and we can introduce you to a local supplier, if you so desire. 7\. Naturally, we don’t have kitchenware, glasses or cutlery to support additional guests. These will need to be organised by yourself, or hired (we can recommend a few event hire companies). 8 The external aspects of the property are covered by video surveillance. 9\. There is an agreed time to when celebrations and music will finish (non-staying guests will vacate the property) Please contact us to learn more about the different wedding packages on offer, for your special day. 10\. No Bucks or Hens parties allowed. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Free self parking on site - Limited on-site self parking - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available - Onsite parking includes off-street options ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster - Water dispenser ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Terrace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - Up to 25 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Accessible parking space - Gravel flooring in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No lift - Smooth flooring in public areas - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Smoking only allowed in outside areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Next to a golf course ### Things to do - Golf - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Composting - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Garden - Recycling - Unit size: 8,181 square feet - Water dispenser - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119520000/119517200/119517115/08a7a43a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Peppertree Manor Summ Pokolbin - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=119517115&PinnedHotelID=119517115&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109610000/109605100/109605034/306058ce.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pirama - The Vintage Holiday Houses POKOLBIN - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=109605034&PinnedHotelID=109605034&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103930000/103927100/103927067/e196cfd5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bonn Abbey - Beautiful Stone Cottage with country views Broke - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 161 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=103927067&PinnedHotelID=103927067&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/41000000/40600000/40594900/40594810/ae2e84aa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Verona House - 7 bedroom - Enormous 7 bdrm, 7 bthrm house with fabulous pool in the heart of Pokolbin!

Sacha's Retreat was an incredible stay, comfortably slept our large group with each couple getting their own space. All the amenities and appliances we could have ever needed, plus board games, lawn games, pantry basics, a BBQ and more! The cottage is classic and gorgeous and the abode is modern, and spaces but still very homey- not to mention the stunning views and pool. The property was easy to find and accessible for all vehicles- including our vineyard tour bus- and while being on acreage, was still close to local shops and other lovely wineries. The owner was lovely and very helpful too, very responsive and personable- we were able to check in early and check out late. The perfect spot for a getaway- we'll be back to Sacha's Retreat! ##### Tessa L.

The host, Stephen, was easy to communicate with and provided lots of local knowledge and tips to enhance our experience. There are two dwellings on the property; Noir Abode which is pretty flash! The other is a cottage, which has had some upgrades and is comfortable and clean. Other than a resident possum on the roof, we slept comfortably and the kids loved their time outdoors, riding bikes, swimming in the pool and playing by the dam. We thoroughly enjoyed the golf and would love to come and stay again in the future. Thank you, Stephen! The ##### Rachel W.

Everyone had a spacious bedroom and there are bathrooms a plenty. We spent 4 days simply enjoying the tranquility. Swimming in the pristine pool and hitting some balls on the private golf course. Watching the kangaroos and marvelling at the display of hot air balloons in the early morning. The kitchens provided everything we needed to prepare meals and the BBQ was a great addition. Stephen was a great host, replying to any queries we had during our stay. His attention to detail was great and the emails containing info on directions and detailing the special aspects of the property were so helpful Quite simply an amazing property in a beautiful spot…. ##### Gary R.

The golf course was interesting but we had fun playing with both adults and children. Dam fascinated children who were trying to catch yabbies..no luck but they did see kangaroos. Swimming pool was well used and the shaded area with comfortable lounge chairs were great. Dogs loved the huge land area and actually were worn out as were the children riding bikes hitting golf balls and running around. Wonderful vista of the Balloons such a majestical sight.Good size entertaining verandah area with view down to green. Kitchen in cottage small and probably needs updating but plates, cutlery, pots pans, salad dishes etc in abundance.

Family loved the stay and Stephen was super responsive and helpful. Was a shame about the bindies, as we couldn't walk barefoot and the dogs struggled, too. Outdoor needed a proper clean but a quick pressure wash fixed that. ##### Peter B.
