Nestled in the heart of the Hunter Valley, Lovedale Farm Stay invites you to escape the ordinary and immerse yourself in a countryside retreat unlike any other. Set on 300 rolling acres with sweeping vineyard and valley views, you’ll feel a million miles from your daily routine — yet you’re just minutes from world-class wineries, local dining, and the warm charm this region is known for. What makes Lovedale special Choose your pace: Whether you’re setting up your tent beside the campfire, parking your caravan under the gum trees, relaxing in our rustic-cabin, unwinding in one of our four elegant villas, or gathering with family and friends in our guesthouse — lovedale delivers comfort with space and character. Modern meets nature: Enjoy hot showers, clean toilets, fresh wash-up facilities, a brand-new BBQ, a dedicated campfire area, and a welcoming kiosk. We also have a function room on site for events, family celebrations or group getaways. Authentic farm life, for all ages: Guided horse-rides and pony rides let kids and adults explore scenic paddocks safely and with fun. Get hands-on with animal feeding — so many of our guests’ favourite moments are feeding friendly farm animals and making animal-friends. Don’t miss our tractor hayrides, stud tours, bush walks, cray fishing, kayaking, spotlighting at night and more. Wildlife at your doorstep: Kangaroos, wallabies, possums, goannas, wedge-tailed eagles and black cockatoos are often just steps from your door. Lovedale isn’t just somewhere you stay — it’s somewhere you live moments in nature. Wine country by day, retreat by night: Spend your days sampling the best wines the region can offer; return to the quiet of firelight, starry skies, and the cozy calm of rural life. Who will love this stay Families and multi-generational groups who want space, nature, and hands-on fun. Wine lovers who also want authentic countryside experience. Animal lovers, kids, and anyone who’s ever dreamed of waking to birdsong and bush walks. Couples and friends who value a stay that’s as much about the experience as it is about the accommodation.
