Holiday Houses & Villas in Lovedale

Choosing a House for Your Group

Big numbers are what Lovedale's holiday houses do best. On this side of wine country, north-east of Pokolbin, three country estates each offer several self-contained houses that can be booked one at a time or all together, so a wedding party, an extended family or a group of friends celebrating a 50th can sleep on one property.

How the Lovedale estates line up:

Lovedale Country Estate, 197 Londons Rd: houses of 6, 11 and 13 bedrooms, the largest with 10 bathrooms, around 30 beds and two kitchens
Ironstone Estate, 97 Olsen Rd: three homes on a 45-acre family vineyard sleeping up to 40 in total, from $1,200 per night
Bluebush Estate, 196 Wilderness Rd: four houses and two tiny house cabins on ten acres, up to 44 guests when the whole estate is booked

Games for every age: a soccer field, volleyball court, trampoline and golf cage on Londons Road; a games room and kids playground at Ironstone's Homestead; tennis, volleyball and billiards at Bluebush
