Berenbell Vineyard Retreat

About Berenbell Vineyard Retreat

Berenbell Vineyard Retreat is a small, owner-run property on Mistletoe Lane at Pokolbin, where hosts Suzie and Ken live on site. It has five self-contained places to stay: three one-bedroom cottages and two two-bedroom lodges, all looking across rows of vines to the Brokenback Range. It suits a couple heading to a Hunter wedding, or a handful of couples taking the whole place for a birthday weekend, so each pair has a private bedroom and bathroom while drinks and meals happen together outside. Children under 12 aren't accepted. Each one-bedroom cottage is a standalone colonial-style brick building with tiled verandahs at the front and back, bay windows facing the view, a queen bed and an ensuite with a clawfoot bath and separate shower. They take two guests. The two lodges share a two-storey brick building with dormer windows; each has a king bedroom and ensuite upstairs, a queen bedroom and ensuite downstairs, and a lounge, dining area and kitchen, for up to four. All stays have air conditioning, a pot-belly fire used from May to October, wifi, a Nespresso machine, a hooded electric BBQ in place of an oven, two hotplates and a microwave. A continental breakfast and a bottle of wine are left ready for arrival. Parking is right outside each cottage or lodge. Restaurants nearby include Botanica, Muse, Eremo, Hunter's Quarter, 4 Pines Brewing and Harrigans, and cellar doors include Tintilla, Keith Tulloch, Tyrrells, De Iuliis, Oakvale and The Hunter Distillery. Hunter Valley Gardens is about 9.5 km away, or 11 minutes by car. There are no buses or trains on the doorstep, so plan on hire cars, wine-tour shuttles, taxis or rideshare.
