Just What we needed
Accommodation exactly as described. Additional surprises in the availability of condiments, Plastic wrap etc. There was absolutely nothing we needed that we couldn’t find. We had a dog with us - she loved running around the garden. And even here the host was thoughtful with dog bowls and toys! Many vineyards near the property and some are also dog friendly. Mark communicated really well with us and was a thoughtful host. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

A lovely return trip
This was our second stay at the flamingo house and it was just as lovely as the first stay. Check in was as easy as it can get. The property owner messages us to let us know the mulberry tree was in fruit and to help ourselves. The house was clean and tidy and despite having plenty of useful kitchen equipment and a good pantry could benefit from more cups/glasses. 5 mugs in a 6 sleeper house wasn’t quite sufficient. We would 100% come and stay here again and whilst we didn’t bring the dogs this time the large secure garden would have been perfect for them.

A well-equipped property with everything that you need for a stay. Great deck area and large dog fenced garden. A very quiet street in Cessnock which was central to all Hunter valley wineries and activities. Mark was a responsive host who had thought of most things and given clear instructions. Would definitely recommend and come back sometime.

Flamingo house is spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Everything you could possibly want or need has been provided by the owner. The rear deck and yard was a lovely place to sit and eat and our dog enjoyed the peaceful surrounds. As other reviewers have said this is a very quiet place where you will get a good nights sleep. A great location close to the Hunter Valley wineries. Thanks to the owner for a great stay.

Fantastic property with 3 good sized bedrooms and a big dog friendly yard. This has to have been the best stocked holiday house we’ve ever stayed in with everything we needed available. The home owner was very responsive to messages. The house itself is a short drive from the high street but parking is a breeze so no hardship. We would 100% stay here again!
