Perfect for our family to stay for our daughter’s Wedding, location was great and value for money

Fabulous! spacious, clean, great location

great location,

all you need for a family stay.

Excellent country getaway

Main bed and pillows and linen were very comfortable, towels lovely kitchen, dining and living room great all being in one, loved the wood fire place. Great area for where we needed to be. Thank you.

Well equipped house with kangaroos and parrots on the property

The location was great and it was wonderful to see the kangaroos in the back yard and hear the birds and frogs. It was beautifully quiet and dark. The house itself was very well equipped and the owner was helpful and responsive.

Met all expectations, would stay there again.

Englewood was a great place to stay, perfect location in the Hunter area with everything you need for a winter escape with friends. Kitchen well kitted out, and the fireplace with a good supply of wood was very welcome. Mike Bosch very friendly and communicative.

Spotless, beautiful property with ample room to relax in – all 3 generations plus a dog loved our stay! For those with dogs, the outdoor area was perfect and had good fencing (unless you have a notorious escapee). Perfect location- a short drive to nearby wineries /attractions but far enough away it felt like an escape. The host (Mike) was great with communicating and super flexible.

Really comfortable, well provisioned, great view. Excellent value.

the location was beautiful. The house very comfortable and well provisioned.

Perfect paradise

Well located, and perfectly situated to take advantage of the pastoral, Englewood Ridge was ideal for our group. The kitchen was so well appointed that we could eat in at night. We look forward to returning when covid doesn’t disrupt our plans and our entire group can enjoy the delights. Thank you Michael! Your thoughtful hospitality is greatly appreciated.

Beautiful outlook, well equipped kitchen with a good location in Lovedale close to some lovely breakfast venues.

Well equipped kitchen and coffee machine with a great choice of capsules. Lovely outlook. Host is very responsive and helpful. Master bed was comfortable.

everything was perfect.

perfect weekend getaway

Great spot to be close to wineries and the house itself had enough room for a group to spread out and relax Kitchen facilities were perfect

excellent accommodation and perfect for a weekend catch up with friends

location, size of the rooms and comfortable

Perfect house for our group of friends celebrating a birthday. Great facilities in the house.

Easy communication with owner and very helpful recommending restaurants. Well equipped house with everything you could need for entertaining.

The house was comfortable, well equipped and in a lovely location. We could sit on the back verandah and watch the kangaroos grazing. We loved that we could take our dog. Good communication from the host. We all wanted to stay longer!

A Hunter escape

The house was exactly what we wanted, large lounge rooms, well equipped kitchen, covered outdoor areas that provided extra space in any weather and glorious views across the valley.The property is pet friendly allowing the whole family to enjoy, surrounded by land encouraging walks amongst the kangaroos and birds. The location is excellent and Michael was very good to communicate with and made us feel very welcome.

excellent and great location!

the aspect overlooking the trees and kangaroos was delightful. further, access to the pool facility and the size of the premises was welcomed.

Family holiday

We had a great stay. Clean and tidy. The view was beautiful. The pool was great. Great location and winery next door. Owner Mike was very attentive. Everything we needed was available. Would stay again for sure.

excellent house. great communication with Mike. wonderful holiday shared with another family and pet friendly.

comfy beds and fantastic pool area. great views and wildlife. amazing sunsets.

Nice location to unwind. Beautiful view and it is refreshing to see kangaroos feeding in the morning.

Amazing place!

We absolutely loved the place! it is 1000 percent better than expected! the pictures do not fully show how good the place is and it has so many things like all utensils, cooking equipment, coffee machine, hair dryer and even a cocktail shaker. Very convenient, great location, beautiful scenery! The hosts are wonderful, kind and responsive! Thank you so much, we will definitely coming back!

40th Birthday weekend getaway

Our group of friends had a lovely time celebrating one of our friends’ 40th birthday at this lovely Hunter valley home. We started off our weekend by visiting some wineries (and picking up a few cases of wine across them) before checking in, enjoying an afternoon by the pool and then a rainy night in! Sunday was also rainy but the house was so spacious and had generous undercover outdoor areas so we didn’t feel like we are locked in at all! The property is large and beautiful for walks. We saw a gorgeous small pack of roos and all in all it was a great time. Thank you for a wonderful stay Mike and Louise.

Great stay

Great space for kids to run and play and good location to explore the region. Thanks Mike!

An excellent place to stay close to the Hunter Valley wineries

We self-catered but found the house well stocked with all we might have needed. For example there was a coffee machine with an excellent variety of pods provided, the laundry had supplies of washing powder and there was plenty of firewood for the fire. We enjoyed walking around the property and fed the kangaroos which came very close to the house at dusk. It was very close to all the facilities we wanted to explore.

Englewood Ridge Fabulous

The property is very clean, tidy, spacious and beautiful.

It’s a beautiful big house with a beautiful view. There are so many comfortable bed options. Our group of 7 had more than enough room. The linen, beds and pillows were all great quality and extremely comfortable. We loved the two living rooms, massive kitchen with absolutely everything you could think of, the three bathrooms and outdoor area. Often when we go away, there is not enough cutlery and crockery for all of us. It was a very pleasant surprise for us that there was more than enough of everything you could need in a kitchen. The huge dining table was also big enough for all of us to sit at together. The fire place and wood pile were also very well received. We truly had the loveliest time there. We have already started to plan our next adventure to Englewood. The owner, Mike, was warm, friendly, helpful and very informative of what to do in the area.

Nice location to unwind. Beautiful view and it is refreshing to see kangaroos feeding in the morning

Mike’s place is lovely – spacious and accommodating for a large family group and dogs, and with everything you would want for a weekend away. Beautifully situated – it feels out of the hustle and bustle, and yet is very close to it all. Mike was very kind and very helpful with getting everything organised. We would love to come back and stay again.

We had a wonderful Easter at the house, spending time with friends and fur-friends. Thankfully the weather was still warm enough for the kids to brave the pool, and the adults under duress! Plenty of room for everyone or time out if needed and close to all the best of the Hunter region if you can be bothered leaving the house to explore

A nice place to visit the wineries and enjoy the hunter

Superb Holiday Home Rental

Lovely well-appointed home that has a great set up. My family had enough space to enjoy and not feel cramped. Mike was a superior host and worked hard to ensure that we all had an enjoyable holiday. Would happily recommend this house to anyone

Relaxing. Perfectly placed to get around the region easily. Stunning views from the deck.

View and hospitality.

Great place for all the family. Plenty of room for 10 of us.

Great place and plenty of room for 10 of us. Close to wineries. Very relaxing.

Beautiful property, homely house, pool, view, walking distance to Wandin winery, and Mike the host was extremely helpful and has great communication skills. Highly recommended.

Hi Mike, thank you for letting us use your home, we had a really great time. Fantastic setting, beautiful views and so peaceful. The house was certainly big enough for us all and everyone remarked at how well equipped the kitchen was. The pool was a real winner in that awful heatwave so was used a lot. Very refreshing. The house was so close to everything.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again so thank you once again.

Truly Excellent

Great place located in the hunter valley. Close to wineries, golf courses and the view is amazing from the back deck. Mike ‘s communication was great and provided all the info needed to have a great time away.

Lovely place to relax and spend a weekend away with friends

Renting the property from Mike was extremely easy. He made sure to answer all of our questions prior to our arrival. The property was in an amazing area and was immaculate. Couldn’t have asked for a better holiday.

We had the most relaxing time. Mike was amazing to communicate with. The house was well centered to the vineyards – especially being able to walk to Wandin Estate!! The dog loved the space to just run and the boys loved riding down the hill and swimming in the pool. Whole heartedly recommend this property to anyone considering a stay in the Hunter.

The house was fantastic for families and groups. We were a family (3 generations) of 6 plus dog but it is also perfect for larger groups as there are two large sitting areas and two dining areas, plus two sofa beds if required. Having 3 bathrooms is definitely a plus. Very nicely furnished with great artwork. The pool was great as it was 33 degrees when we arrived! Having 25 acres to roam plus kangaroos in the morning and at dusk pretty hard to beat! I had a few questions about the area and the house and Mike went out of his way to respond very quickly, plus contacting others to provide info I requested. Lovedale is the perfect location. The house was perfect for our dinners, because in the Hunter many restaurants aren’t open every night for dinner. Lunches we enjoyed included the ploughman’s platter at Wandin with a great Rose and Blanc de Blanc (right next door), The Deck Cafe at Gartelmann Wines, Muse Kitchen at Keith Tulloch Wines and Leaves & Fishes in Lovedale Road. The Binorrie Dairy is a wonderful shop for cheese, olive oil, caramelised vinegar, charcuterie and wooden trays. Tatler is a lovely family run winery with most of their wines named after family, friends and even a dog. We also love Lake’s Folly. And Hanging Tree has great atmosphere and is quite quirky and picturesque. Our grandsons enjoyed the giant chess set there (although you can’t play at the moment because of Covid). We really recommend a stay at Englewood Ridge when in the Hunter.

Hi Mike,

We are having the most lovely time! Did a wine tasting at Wandin – perfect walking distance!!

We had a fire last night and it was perfect. BBQ tonight!!

Thanks again

We’ve just enjoyed another fabulous weekend at Englewood Ridge. Lovely house with all amenities enabling wonderful family breakfast cookups and drinks round the fire after a day exploring the region. Excellent location with everything nearby! Mike and Louise have provided every comfort and we look forward to our next visit.

Mike the owner went out of his way to be hopeful and kind – and the dogs loved it! Great location and lovely fire – highly recommended for a weekend in the Hunter …

Amazing stay!

Mike was an absolute pleasure to deal with leading up to our stay, very helpful and accommodating. Our group of 10, had an amazing stay in this beautiful home in the heart of the Hunter. Will definitely look at returning!

Absolutely fantastic hosts and locations. Close to everything and super comfy Mike was instantly contactable and made sure our stay was enjoyable. The home is well stocked, new dish clothes supplied and spotlessly cleaned. Would love to stay again

Relaxing place to stay in the beautiful Hunter. The fire place and view were lovely. The kangaroos in the backyard and bird life were amazing.
Nothing not to like. The owners have thought of everything.

Absolutely fantastic hosts and locations. Close to everything and super comfy.

A magical country getaway A beautifully kept, well-loved and welcoming holiday home. Perfectly located for long walks, bike-riding and wine-tasting. Generous and hospitable hosts. Accommodated two families of four and our two dogs very comfortably. We will definitely be back!!

Great stay! Great space for kids to run and play and good location to explore the region. Thanks Mike!

Loved this place! Has everything you need and plenty of room for everyone! Our girls weekend was awesome

Relaxing. Perfectly placed to get around the region easily. Stunning views from the deck.

This well appointed house had everything we needed and the swimming pool was a big hit with everyone in the group! We enjoyed wandering the 25 acres…The sunsets were wonderful to watch while sitting on the deck overlooking the Dividing Range!

Thanks for your hospitality. You do have a beautiful piece of the Hunter.
Now it’s time to head back to the reality of work…

We had the pleasure of staying at Mike and Louise’s place and we are really glad we did. It was a lovely escape with our children and dogs who all enjoyed everything the property had to offer. They even went above and beyond by supplying a lovely smelling pine tree for our Christmas celebrations, fantastic hosts nothing was a problem. We’ll be back!

Had a great time at Lovedale. Pool was a great extra feature, plenty of beds and space…Great communication with the owners…We will be back!

Our stay at Englewood was brilliant. We wanted for nothing as the house was so well equipped. Close enough to the winerys but not right in the middle of it, so peaceful. The pool was excellent for a cool down after a hot Hunter day. Mike was so helpful and contact was always open and easy.

Great place to retreat from the city. I held a small work function there and I had absolutely no complaints from all colleagues. The place was very clean with the outside area a particular delight.

I just gave it a 10 out of 10 on stayz. The place was a big hit with my work mates. Very clean and the outside area was a hit!

I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the house. I have never stayed somewhere with kitchen so well appointed! 9.5 out of 10

“We loved our stay at Mike’s place. It was plenty big enough for 8 people and had everything we needed. The view over the trees was beautiful and the swimming pool was a definite bonus. I hope we can stay again.”

“Englewood Ridge 5/5. Fantastic accommodation for a group of friends or a large family. Everything you need is there, don’t need to bring a thing, (except your food). Very comfortable for a group to stay. Plenty of bathrooms, very comfy beds and plenty of room to entertain inside or outside. Very peaceful, quiet and relaxing, with beautiful views and kangaroos in the back paddock. Would be perfect for winter, with a cosy fireplace in the relaxing lounge / dinning area or in summer with air conditioning and pool. Our group of 10 had a extremely enjoyable and very comfortable three days at Englewood Ridge and we would definitely stay there again.”

“Had a lovely time celebrating my 30th Birthday with some friends at Englewood Ridge. House was perfect with lots of space, and the location was fabulous – close to so many vineyards! We also enjoyed the serenity in the morning looking out the back deck with some kangaroos visiting too! Would definitely recommend staying here :)”

‘Mike is a fantastic host. Took the time to send through some details on local events that were on, explained things about the house before we arrived & was available if we needed any assistance. The house is a good size for groups with plenty of room for socialising. Best of all the property is within meters of one of the local wedding venues which was very convenient. Recommended!’

“We are a group of ten school teachers who chose Englewood Ridge for our annual getaway.  It was a great choice! The home is large and spacious but still cosy and comfortable. It is in a fantastic position, close to many wonderful  cafes and restaurants. We particularly liked the Deck Cafe. Mike was a very attentive and kind host- giving us many wonderful suggestions and advice.
The home was well equipped, clean and beautifully decorated. We would highly recommend Englewood Ridge for a peaceful and enjoyable weekend away from Sydney.”

The photos don’t do it justice, this house exceeded our expectations. We were a group of 7 women (and 2 daschunds) and the house was just perfect for us. Spotlessly clean, super cosy (we lit the fire every night) and the kitchen was very well equipped with plenty of everything to see us through the weekend. Great location in the heart of Lovedale. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful views and plenty of room for the extended family. We enjoyed watching the kangaroos and other animals.

Great location, great property for a getaway or family holiday. We enjoyed our celebration here.

A beautiful space that is tremendously well appointed. With 4 adults and 4 children we had more space than we needed for a weekend of RnR and separation from the noisy children!  The saltwater pool, which is shaded by a tree for most of the morning, is a boon in summer, and the effective air conditioning made bearable the 46 degree heat of our stay. Mike is an amazing host who could not have helped us more, we will certainly be returning.

This was a fabulous location! We enjoyed watching all the kangaroos grazing and a dip in the pool.

This well appointed house and property was just what our group needed for some R & R!

Good place for big groups. Perfect location to explore the Hunter region.

Andres

We absolutely loved Mike’s place. It was perfect for our weekend away in the Hunter Valley, situated a short drive from some amazing vineyards. Mike was also a great host, providing plenty of information prior to our trip.

Thomas

Mike was excellent and prepared! We had the best stay and the property is STUNNING!  Definitely recommend!

Sam

Great location. Mike was extremely helpful and made our stay carefree. Definitely will go again!

Lauren

Exceptional! We will be back

Niamh

Fantastic place, I would definitely recommend it to others.
· The house was very comfortable and really well equipped. We had a great time here as a family of 6 plus dog!

Robert L

We had a great stay at Englewood Ridge, it was quiet, very well equipped and large enough to cater for our extended family.
The location provides easy access to supermarkets, restaurants and the Hunter Valley Gardens which we enjoyed.

Thanks
James M

We booked as a family group ranging in age from 2 years to over 70 – house worked brilliantly with children able to have naps in bedroom wing while other guests still able to socialise without worrying about waking them. Fabulous views over Hunter Valley. Regular visits from kangaroos. House is very well equipped and you will not find a more hospitable or thoughtful host. Well done Mike & Louise. We will definitely be back. Had the most wonderful time. Thank you again
Jill B

The house offered great comfort during both cooler and hot days. The pool was great to cool down and the deck was great for the adults who thoroughly enjoyed the view with kangaroos at our doorstep. And even our pets had a great time with plenty of room to run and a fenced area to keep them close by. The kitchen is great with every utensil you can think of. The two seating/TV rooms came handy for when adults and kids needed their own space and the air conditioning in these was an absolute must in the high 30s temperature days! Mike is a thoughtful host that certainly made sure we were looked after.
Carolina

We were impressed with everything about Englewood Ridge. The house and surrounds were immaculate resulting in a very relaxing and enjoyable getaway. A big thank you to both Mike and Louise for opening their home to us. Mike went above and beyond to ensure our stay would be a great one. I would highly recommend Englewood Ridge to everyone I know and I hope that one day we can have the opportunity to do it again.

Sandra

Wonderful. The home is exactly as described by the website. We had a lovely family Christmas here. Great location. The house is huge, comfortable, restful and clean, and allowed us to cook at home throughout our stay in either the fantastic kitchen or bbq, or both. The pool was as lovely bonus given it was 45 degrees for most of our stay. Oh, and the air conditioner worked a treat, so much so we nicknamed the house the fridge! Thanks Mike. We’ll be back in Winter. My Mum and Aunt will be in contact soon too!

This is a spacious, well furnished and fitted house with lots of thoughtful extras. We booked from the UK and it was perfect for us and our grandchildren. We had a lovely pool and 25 acres of natural bush to explore, full of birds and kangaroos., Although very quiet and peaceful we had easy access to supermarkets, wineries and the cheese and chocolate shops – we will worry about the calories when we get home. Thank you Mike and Louise and we very much hope to visit again.

Everything was neat and well prepared by the owner. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay.

The place was fantastic with many wild kangaroo. I do recommend this house for 7-8 people.

The location was amazing, as were you the hosts!

Great location! Mike was extremely helpful and made our stay carefree. Definitely will go again!

We absolutely loved Mike’s place. It was perfect for our weekend away in the Hunter Valley, situated a short drive from some amazing vineyards. Mike was also a great host, providing plenty of information prior to our trip.

Our experience was fantastic. Mike was always available, and helpful with any questions. 10/10 would stay again

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Englewood Ridge. The location was perfect and the house was spotless. We were a group of 7 women and 2 daschunds and we were all very comfortable. We loved the fire and amazingly stocked kitchen. All in all a great place to stay!

Hi Michael, just to let you know we’ve left Englewood Ridge. The place is fantastic – we’ll be back! We’ll see you in summer as the pool looked very tempting!

Your house was just perfect for our stay, so cosy and amazingly well stocked. The fire was an added bonus and the two little daschunds were very happy running around outside. We had the best time and will definitely return 🙂

Thanks very much for renting us your lovely home, Mike.
Everything went well with the house and the Wedding at Wandin.
It’s a great house and was perfect for our family group. Quite a luxurious and comfortable homestead.

Thank you so much for letting us stay @ englewood ridge. We had a fantastic wedding @ wandin. Your place was just perfect for the family.

For our regular visits to the Hunter Valley, Englewood Ridge is our first choice of accommodation. The house sits along the ridge commanding magnificent views over the valley and the Brokenback Mountains. The house is beautifully appointed with every conceivable convenience for year round comfort. The pool is a welcome retreat in the summer and the log fire and reverse cycle air conditioning keep you cosy in the winter. The house is situated close to Lovedale and Pokolbin wineries and is surrounded by 20 acres of undulating paddocks that are home to a plethora of wildlife including kangaroos, wallabies and wombats. I can highly recommend Englewood Ridge for your next Hunter Valley holiday.

Just left the property now, just wanted to say a big thankyou for the awesome stay at your house was amazing beyond expectations! Would definitely recommend this house for future for myself aswell as friends and family!

Once again thank you ?
