Domaine de Binet - Site 3
Almost glamping
Absolutely loved our stay: Natalie is an amazing host, the vineyard is beautiful, only two other parties were there during our two night stay. The wine tasting was phenomenal!

It is a good setting but too much for facilities

Domaine de Binet Baby Vines Site 4
Wine for adults, vast space 4 kids
Natalie was a fantastic host. Excellent email/hip camp communication and fantastic sommelier at the cellar door.
The grass was green, the paddock we had to ourselves was bigger than two cricket pitches and was right next to the grapevines.
The power was on the site next to ours so we had to run a long extension lead for this. Would recommend you come prepared for this if you are in Baby Vines 4.
The bathroom facilities were fancy - overhead rain shower (built for the chapel and weddings!) and multiple toilets. There is only one shower but there was never a queue because only a few other campers were there even though it was a long weekend.
We were there over the January long weekend and it was really hot, and her staff were kind enough to refill our bottles with iced water.
Having the cellar door so close meant the adults did an afternoon wine tasting and the kids kept playing cricket/frisbee/hide and seek while we had a long lazy session.
The location is right in the middle of Lovedale so we went horseriding at
https://www.huntervalleyhorses.com/ an eight minute drive away. Lunched at https://majorslane.com/ and cheese tasted at https://www.binnorie.com.au/ . All within a 5k radius
Cessnock town is 15 minutes away and we went swimming in the local pool there which was a relief with the 30+ degree days.
I feel completely spoilt to have come here for our first camp trip in years. Not sure I will ever be able to go back to a caravan park!

Beautiful family run place!
Woweee, this place is absolutely gorgeous. Amazing quiet camp set up, so much room which was perfect for our group of 8. Great facilities too. We did a wine tasting and it was fantastic, Natalie is an incredible host. We loved the spot and would absolutely return, thank you so much for having us!

We’ll come back many more times!
This was our second time in this wonderful site. This time we spent time getting to know the owners, and sampled (and bought) some truly great Hunter wines!

Must do!
Perfect location! Thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting on-site, Paul was so lovely!
Natalie was very accomodating and friendly.
Her doggies were an added treat as well as her boys who welcomed my son with open arms, they were best friends in no time!
The sunset was superb and I’d go back in a heartbeat. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us :)
