Camellia Cottage
A country house with a garden, balcony and patio combined
About this stay
Camellia Cottage stacks up three separate outdoor spaces, a garden, a balcony and a patio, more than most Cessnock cottages offer in one property. The country-house style leans traditional rather than modern, with three bedrooms suiting a couple or small family comfortably. A fully equipped kitchen covers self-catering, with air conditioning handling the warmer stretches of a Hunter Valley trip, and the outdoor dining area lets meals move outside on a mild evening rather than staying confined indoors. Free on-site private parking keeps a car ready for the roughly 12-kilometre run to Hunter Valley Gardens, and guests consistently rate the room comfort and convenient location highly, a detail that comes through clearly in the property's accumulated reviews over time.

Our take
This suits travellers who want more than one outdoor option, whether that's morning coffee on the balcony or an evening barbecue on the patio. The country-house character gives it a slightly different feel from the area's more modern holiday homes. Larger groups needing four or more bedrooms should look elsewhere, since this cottage is sized for three.
- ✓Use the balcony for morning coffee and the patio for evening drinks, since the two outdoor spots suit different times of day.
- ✓Cook dinner in the fully equipped kitchen and eat in the outdoor dining area on a mild evening.
- ✓Book early, since guests consistently rate the location and comfort highly according to the property's reviews.

Why guests love itWe ended up using all three outdoor spots at different points, coffee on the balcony each morning, dinner on the patio most evenings, and the garden for the kids to run around in between tastings. The kitchen was well stocked enough that we barely needed to shop beyond the first day's groceries for the whole stay, which suited us fine.
