Our stay was perfect in every way. We stayed over Christmas for a break from a busy year. The home had everything we needed. A well equipped and maintained property. A big tick for us was the pets policy. We always travel with our "pack" and Tara Lee did not disappoint. A secure yard is always a necessity when travelling with pets. We will be back.

Great location. Stayed with some old school friends and showed them the Hunter Valley Gardens and Xmas Lights Spectacular. We had such an amazing time. We were exhausted Saturday doing the gardens from midday and again at night. We had a sleep-in and spent Sunday visiting Sabors Desserts late in the morning then the Choclate and Fudge place next door to Sabor's. We were back at Tara Lee by 12.30 in the afternoon and just relaxed, talking and swimming in the spectacular pool. They were in awe of Tara Lee and the step back in time with beautiful furnishings etc. Congratulations to Karen and John as there was everything you could possibly need. We remembered around 6pm there was the complimentary bottle of wine and Chocolate still in the fridge. Thank you again for a wonderful stay.Cheryl and friends

Beautiful house in the Hunter Region
Our family stayed her over the Christmas Holidays. Everyone loved the house. It was beautifully decorated with a classical antique vibe. Very spacious, multiple dining areas, big kitchen. The pool was amazing and the kids stayed it in most of the day.
The location is excellent, 5 minutes away from everything, shops, supermarkets, various churches.
The host is very responsive and very understanding.
Thank you for providing my family a 2022 Christmas we will never forget.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
As soon as we opened the front door we couldn’t believe it. Wow was all we could say. Smelt gorgeous and looked fresh and super clean. A generous and thoughtful touch with the wine and chocolates left for us to enjoy (and we did, thankyou!) This property is in immaculate condition and we loved the decor and reading about its history. The pool was stunning and a real bonus in this hot weather. The kitchen was the best equipped holiday let kitchen we’ve ever seen. Best sleep I’ve had in ages, beds were so comfy and beautifully made with crisp, fresh linen and neighbourhood is extremely quite. This property is very close to everything we needed. A gorgeous home. We had a lovely time and we’ll certainly be back!

Our amazing overnight family getaway at Tara lee
From the moment we stepped into Tara lee we were all amazed at how well preserved and renovated this beautiful old house was, it welcomed us with a charm like no other holiday stay has ever done before. The wine and Chocolates on arrival was a nice touch that made us all feel very special and welcome. The magnificent large rooms accommodated all our family very well and the house was equipped with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The kids loved swimming in the beautiful in ground swimming pool as my partner and I relaxed in the comfortable chairs around the pool. Even thou it was a short stay we felt like we stayed allot longer as we we’re totally relaxed in our surroundings, we will definitely be back for a longer stay in the future and we’d recommend this holiday stay to anyone looking at visiting the beautiful wine region. Thanks Karen and John for a wonderful experience

Weekend with family and friends
The property was cute, neat, tidy and quirky. It was tricky to organise sleeping arrangements when not all persons are a couple. More single bed options would be handy. The house was lovely but due to floor plan, and thin walls, noise easily carried through each room which made sleeping for some problematic. It was also hard to fit everyone in one room for board games. Upon check in, the host was hostile and unprofessional as she changed check in and departure times the night before without warning and it differed to all previous communications. When we arrived, well after advertise check in time, they weren’t ready, we were made to wait outside for 40 minutes after a long drive, the host and cleaner continued to argue with me and made us feel very unwelcome. I had my 84 year old mother with me who just wanted to use the toilet and enter the property but we were told to go away. As she charges a premium, I was shocked and disgusted by her attitude, this situation could have been managed so much better and nicer. Her text messages were also rude, inappropriate and unhelpful. I had to ask for information about the key and entry details into the property as I was waiting on any communication from the host prior, there continued to be no communication except for argumentative texts from host upon arrival. She then continued to ‘punish’ us by texting me stating we had an earlier check out time just because she wanted to be nasty, this was confusing us once again as to what was the actual check out time. I personally think the host is in the wrong profession, she was so cranky, unorganised and commutations were inaccurate. We did however try our best not to let this ruin our holiday. But if you’re going to charge people through the roof for 2 nights accommodation there is a certain level of service expected.

The heritage-like property was clean, spacious, and so very well equipped. Large timber deck looking over the perfectly manicured greenery and a stunning sandstone pool. Cafes, restaurants, and shopping all about a 500m walk away. Highly accommodating owners just to top it off. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Stay
We have family visiting from the UK so wanted to get out of the city for a few days. The property perfectly accommodated 4 adults and 2 little ones, we also brought the dog. The house had everything you can think of, the cleanliness was exceptional, beds comfortable and sheets so soft.
The kids enjoyed the pool, despite the rain. The location was perfect in terms of proximity into Cessnock and the wineries. Highly recommend.

Bit surprising
Location was great, check in easy.
However when we arrived, one of the beds appeared to have been slept in and there were dirty towels on the bathroom floor which hadn’t been cleaned.
I called the owner and left a message, who never responded.
We changed the sheets ourselves and attempted to tidy up the bathroom.
Other than that the place was great

Immaculate Home
Even before we arrived to Tara-Lee I knew I would feel at home. Karen and John were an absolute to deal with and went above and beyond to make sure we had all the information and answer any questions before we arrived. When we opened the door to Tara-Lee you immediately fee the warmth of a home and notice the attention to detail. The home was immaculate, and welcoming. It was extremely comfortable to house 7 adults and 2 children and we had our own privacy with the property boasting multiple living and dining settings. The pool was very clean and inviting. Would return without hesitation and if I could I would give it 6 ⭐️!
Great location, close to town and only a short drive to a number of award winning wineries. Thanks again Karen and John for sharing your slice of heaven.
