Choosing a House for Your Group

Choosing a base in the Singleton & Broke region mostly means choosing a style of country stay, because its holiday houses gather around Broke, the quiet village in the Broke Fordwich wine area west of Singleton. One sits on Wollombi Street in the village itself, one is a large estate out on Milbrodale Road, and one is a family vineyard on Broke Road with frontage to Wollombi Brook.

This corner of the Hunter is more rural and less busy than Pokolbin, which suits wedding crowds, family reunions and birthday groups who want space and a long weekend at home rather than a hotel corridor.

Three kinds of stay across the region:

In the village: Monkey Place Country House, built of sandstone with a wrap-around verandah on six acres, for groups of 8 to 14 from $1,035
Out on acreage: Hunter Moon Country House, the region's largest at up to 22 guests on 25 private acres with wildlife and a creek
Among the vines: Broke Estate, a working vineyard on the alluvial soils of Wollombi Brook with an 1890 cottage for four and a creek-bank glamping site for two
Heritage character versus space to spread out: the restored Broke Estate cottage keeps its age, while Hunter Moon is laid out so large groups are together without living on top of each other
Feeding the group: Monkey Place can organise in-house catering, Hunter Moon's deck opens straight from inside for outdoor meals, and Broke Estate stocks pantry basics and a gas barbecue

There is no hotel-style front desk at any of these properties. Broke Estate uses lockbox entry and Monkey Place is run by Unwind Hunter Valley, so sort out arrival times and keys with each host well before the weekend.
