House was well equipped with everything you could need and a small (probably user) problem with outdoor lights was dealt with by property
Management promptly which was fantastic. Biggest complaint is that there is no comfortable living area in a common area but could be easily solved.

Everything from check in to check out was absolutely perfect.
John met us at the house and showed us around - and incredible space both inside and out. All rooms, bathrooms and common spaces were beautiful.
The dining table and pool area were the absolute winners.
No to mention the small horses John was able to bring over for a visit (his “children”).
A truly magical weekend - we’ll definitely be back.

Cannot fault this place. We stayed two nights for our end of year work retreat and it accommodated 16 of us perfectly and comfortably. There was enough space for us all and access to adequate amenities. Would definitely recommend.

Degen Review
Excellent property with everything you possibly need, all the bedding and sheets were clean and organised. The property sits on an amazing block with fantastic views. The owners of the property could of not been more helpful but also friendly. I have stayed in the hunter 50 + times and is this is by far the best!

Great space to host a large group for a weekend away with the ability to sleep 20 and two individual cottages. A visit from the mini horses from the owners was amazing and much appreciated. Very private and beautiful scenery at the property. Ample parking, anentities etc

Well equiped and clean. They offer absolutely no flexibility in the check in despite having time. I asked for earlier check in (even 30 minutes would have helped) to arrange some surprises for my guests and they made it very clear that I was not to enter the property until the allocated time of 3pm despite the cleaners having finished long before. It would have made a big difference to our overall experience and made no difference to the owners. For this reason we won’t be booking through Hunter Valley Stays in the future. The property itself however is fantastic and has everything you’d need and want.

The perfect getaway!
We booked both the Degen Estate and Hillcrest house to celebrate our wedding weekend with a group of our closest friends.

We would definitely love to stay again in the future!

A truly beautiful property, inside and out, luxuriously fitted out with and with every possible amenity. The service both before and during our stay was also outstanding.

Absolutely Beautiful!!
Degen Estate was absolutely beautiful!!! I organised a Team Corporate Offsite at the property and everything was exactly how I imagined it to be! A lot of break out spaces, full kitchen for our cooking challenges and the pool to relax and break away! The team at Hunter Valley Stays were very accommodating and answered every question of mine, whether it was a stupid question or not. I will definitely be looking to stay here again and 10/10 for everything including awesome customer service!

Beautiful property
“I cannot recommend Hunter Vally Stays highly enough. From the first email through to locking the door on departure, they were absolutely fantastic and helpful, Degen Estate was sensational.

BEST wedding weekend we could have asked for!!!
From the moment we set eyes on Degen estate, escorted by our friends at Hunter Concierge, we knew we had found the perfect venue and location for our wedding weekend getaway. The House and surrounding grounds were absolutely perfect for our special day and featured prominently in our gorgeous wedding photos!! The Degens are a lovely family and truly worked to make our weekend extra special by rushing to ensure the installation of the amazing pool, which added that extra touch of class to our occasion. We met the whole family over the lead up and had wonderful experiences with each of them.
The house provided very classy and comfortable accommodated our wedding party as was perfect for side events and get togethers around the massive 22 seat dining table! Our guests raved about how amazing the place was and the breathtaking views they took in over the east to west of stunning Rothbury.
The sophisticated styling features in all the bridal photos and the backdrop of the stunning and spectacular grounds and SUNSET really make our photos captured throughout the weekend super special and will forever remain in our hearts (and albums).
Degen wines were also a very special treat for the bridal party, each receiving rave reviews (ask for the Special Release Shiraz, to die for)!!
I would recommend this place (complete with self contained cottages) to anyone planing a weekend away with friends, or a lovely couple planning their big day (Make sure you get in touch with Luke and Dave at HC).
We'll definitely be back to reminisce and enjoy and appreciate the beautiful place that will forever remain a part of our lives.
Thank you once again Sasha, Jean and Tom for our amazing experience and cherished memories.
Love
The Grooms

Birthday weekend away
Great property, fridge was well stocked with food and wine, I had my birthday here with 13 people and stayed in the main house and cottage. Only disappointment was the fire could not be used. This was one of the main reasons I chose this place. Pool will be great in Summer
