The Burrows is a luxury off-grid cabin nestled on 150 acres of rolling hills, native bushland and peaceful creek frontage at Hunter Valley Hideaway. Designed for couples seeking romance, relaxation and a true escape from the everyday, The Burrows offers the perfect blend of sustainable living and modern comfort.
Powered by the sun and thoughtfully designed for sustainable luxury, this is your chance to disconnect from the noise of everyday life without sacrificing the comforts you love. Swap traffic for birdsong, city lights for star-filled skies, and busy schedules for slow mornings with coffee on the deck overlooking the creek.
One of the highlights of your stay is meeting our beloved Highland cows, Hamish and Fergus. These gentle, shaggy brothers are the heart of Hunter Valley Hideaway and have become favourites with guests from all over Australia. During your stay, you’ll have the opportunity to hand-feed them treats provided by us, gently brush their magnificent coats, take unforgettable photos and selfies, and enjoy spending time with their friendly, curious personalities. They’re more than just farm animals, they’re part of the Hunter Valley Hideaway experience.
Spend your days exploring private walking trails across the property, wandering through open paddocks, discovering hidden pockets of bushland, or simply relaxing beside the creek. As the sun sets, keep an eye out for wombats, kangaroos and an abundance of native birdlife, including colourful kingfishers and lyrebirds. When darkness falls, the clear country skies come alive with thousands of stars, creating the perfect backdrop for an evening around the fire pit with a glass of Hunter Valley wine.
Inside, The Burrows has been thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind. Enjoy a luxurious queen bedroom, a beautifully appointed kitchen, stylish bathroom, cosy living area, dedicated workspace, air conditioning for warmer days and ducted heating for cosy winter nights. Throw open the doors to the spacious outdoor entertaining deck complete with BBQ and take in uninterrupted views across the farm while listening to nothing but nature.
Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, honeymoon, birthday or simply need time to reconnect, Hunter Valley Hideaway offers the rare opportunity to slow down and embrace the beauty of country life.
Perfectly positioned to explore the best of the Hunter Valley, you’re just: • 15 minutes to historic Wollombi • 20 minutes to the award-winning wineries of Broke • 35 minutes to Pokolbin’s renowned cellar doors, gourmet restaurants and world-class concerts
At Hunter Valley Hideaway, luxury isn’t about crowds or five-star hotels. It’s about waking to mist rolling across the hills, sharing quiet moments with Highland cows, watching wildlife wander past your deck, soaking in breathtaking sunsets, and ending each day beneath a sky filled with stars.
Come and experience the slower pace of life, where unforgettable memories are made, nature sets the schedule, and Hamish and Fergus are always waiting to welcome you.
