The property was very comfortable and set up well for a family holiday. It was incredibly hot and the air con held up beautifully. The pool and games room were fantastic and all the bedrooms were lovely. The only negatives were - the barn was actually a converted garage and although it was a nice conversion it was still a garage partitioned off with thick curtains so it was a little different to what we had expected. Whilst the inside of the property was nicely done, the outside was different to the pictures on the website and a little underwhelming. This had not been helped by the very dry conditions which left everything looking brown, dry and dusty. Interestingly this wasn't the case for other properties in the area . We had a great time and really appreciated the nice touches like the xmas decorations and generous supply of towels etc. We just wish we had a prettier view which you often get in the Hunter Valley.

The actual house was as expected but the addition accommodation was an unpleasant surprise. It is a shed with roller doors on the outside with a curtain covering the roller doors on the inside them on the inside. It was noisy and felt like being in a very temporary building and not as advertised on the website.

We booked this property for a reunion of friends. The property looked amazing on the listing and didn’t disappoint. The dining, living and kitchen area is amazing. Such a great space to connect and relax. The cleanliness and comfort of the property was exceptional. Would definitely recommend this property.

We booked Dolina for an extended family getaway. There was plenty of space for everyone. The guest barn was a great addition to give that extra space and allow people some time out from the main house. The games room provided endless entertainment. Dolina is in a fantastic location with beautiful views. We loved watching the sunrise from the balcony. It’s quiet and peaceful yet close to all the Hunter Valley has to offer. It would be great to come in the warmer months to make use of the pool.

I booked this property with a bunch of girlfriends to celebrate my 30th birthday and boy did it deliver! From the beginning, communication with the host was easy and there was always a quick reply to any questions I had. The house was beautiful and clean, with a kitchen full of all the appliances you could ever need. The beds were extremely comfortable with air conditioning in every room ensuring we all had a good nights sleep. And to top it off, the views were spectacular! Each day we watched kangaroos hop through the property as we sat by the pool or on the deck. Thank you so much for a fantastic stay!

This is a perfect property for large groups. The fact you can request all beds to be in single bed config is rare in properties accommodating 12+ people. The setting is beautiful and it's a short walk across the road to Wandin Estate where we had a yummy lunch. Everything was catered for and any queries we had were answered promptly. Would highly recommend. Thanks Dolina.

The property was well presented and appointed. I did feel it was overpriced which I believe is underpinned by the fact it is in a popular area for weddings and guests have limited choices available to them.

Dolina is a beautiful house for large groups wanting to enjoy the Hunter Valley. The main house has a large open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen area with comfy couches. It was lovely to sit around the log fire drinking wine with good friends.
There are 3 large bedrooms in the main house and 2 bedrooms in the garage area (which is decked out well). Most bedrooms have aircon/heating. Would highly recommend Dolina.
