Loved it again
This is our 5th trip in 9 years. The location is quiet, the wildlife amazing and darts and ping pong make for great entertainment. The breakfast left for you to cook is plentiful and is cheaper than buying your own.
Great place for 6 buddies, or romantic for a couple.

The name sums it up. The peaceful stillness with the backdrop of the rocky escarpement and about 50 Kangaroos hanging around the cottage sets the scene for a relaxed getaway, especially when you get the firepit going at night. Wander through the bush or enjoy the many vineyards along the road.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Serenity Grove. It was cozy yet spacious and central to everything we meeded such as wineries and restaurants. We would definitely recommend this place and stay here again.
The cabins at Serenity Grove are first rate, really comfortable, roomy and well equipped. We had a great couple of nights there. The owners have really thought of everything to make the accommodation perfect, including even some bacon and eggs in the fridge to cook for brekky, good coffee too. There is even a fantastic fire pit outside for sitting under the stars (of which there are many) and enjoying a wine by the fire. Cabins are air-conditioned so perfect both summer and winter. We had a herd of cows in the paddock next door quietly grazing away in the afternoon and then a mob of Kangaroos next morning. The local area has some fantastic wineries and is much quieter and friendlier than the main touristy end of the Hunter valley. The cabins are well back from the main road so you have the best nights sleep in beautiful silence.
Serenity is the keyword, it delivers! And so superbly placed to visit the local wineries. This was perfect and met all our expectations and then some. Most recommended!
This accommodation was so convenient to our wedding venue five minutes down the road. Beautiful valley setting. We were made very welcome on arrival. The cottage comprised loungeroom, with a/c and tv, 2 clean bathrooms, a well provisioned kitchen and 3 comfortable bedrooms, with potential beds for 10 people. Basic toiletries comprised a small soap and handwash so bring your own. I would have liked a choice of bedding with perhaps a lighter weight blanket option, as the doonas provided were almost too warm. Beds were comfy.
Breakfast makings provided were basic, with bread, eggs and bacon, juice, plus hot beverages including plunger coffee. The provision of a good quality white bread, or wholemeal, plus some marmalades or other spreads would have been nice. The verandah seating was great for morning use, and we saw a large mob of kangaroos while having breakfast.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would come again.
Great spot to stay in the hunter. Everyone you meet in Broke are super friendly I'd definatley recommend staying here and checking out the local wineries. Was easy to organise a bus to our gig at Hope estate..
