About this property

Malolo Park Guest House in the Watagans - serenity

Situated on 50 acres by the foothills of the Watagans and on the doorstep of the beautiful Hunter Valley, this stunning 3 bedroom homestead makes for the perfect rural retreat. Wake up to the sounds of the country, whether that be birds chirping, roosters crowing, cows mooing or horses snorting.

Wander down to the huge natural lake on the property, check out the bird life and enjoy the serenity. There is horse accommodation available upon prior request if you are travelling with a few extra equine passengers.

Malolo Park Guest House is the perfect place to recharge the batteries, relax outdoors in the sunshine or nestle in the warm ambience of the open fire.

Accessed by tar sealed road and all-weather gravel drive, Malolo Park Estate is an easy 20 minute drive to all the Hunter Valley Wine country has to offer.

Pets are not allowed at this property.

The owners live onsite at the main farmhouse, a good distance away, should you need anything.

THE Important Stuff - Malolo Park Guest House in the Watagans
Malolo Park offers bedding up to 6 guests. 2 extra guests can be accommodated via sofa bed.
Bedroom 1 - Queen
Bedroom 2 - King
Bedroom 3 – Queen
Sitting Room – Sofa Bed

How We Price: The booking price is based on a minimum number of guests. Any guests above this number are chargeable on a per person/per night rate. The system will automatically calculate the correct rate when you enter the required number of guests. Reductions in guest numbers are non-refundable.

Arrival Details: Access to the property is made easy for you. We will send you an access code just before 2 pm on your arrival day via SMS and you will use this code for the duration of your stay.

Linen: 1 set of full bed linens and 1 bath towel per person are supplied. Guests may wish to bring extra towels depending on the length of their stay. Pool/Lake/Beach towels are BYO.

Guest Amenities: We are Eco-Friendly - to help reduce wastage, we supply a single bottle of 3in1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash in all showers. In addition, guests are advised to bring their own personal preferred bathroom products/amenities.

Fires and Firewood: Internal wood fireplaces and outdoor fire pits only operate after the NSW Easter School Holidays up to before the NSW September School Holidays in line with NSW state fire restrictions. Please note: we will normally supply enough firewood, kindling & fire-starters for between 1-2 nights of your stay. For guests wishing to have additional fires, we suggest BYO Firewood, Kindling, and Starters which can be easily purchased from the local service stations.

No Party Policy: All reservations operate under a Strict No-Party & Non-Excessive Noise Policy as prescribed in the NSW Short-Term Letting Legislation and Local Council Laws. This property is in a Residential Area. Failure to comply can put the security bond into jeopardy and may lead to police-assisted eviction and/or extra charges being levied. We hate to have to note this but the reality is that so far this year we have had to evict 3 groups for overstacking/bad/anti-social behaviour.

Extra Guests / Visitors: The number of people nominated on your booking is the maximum number of people that are allowed to be on the property at any one time, including visitors. Visitors may be requested and if approved must be approved in writing with Weekenda staff. Simply put, if Mum and Dad want to come over for a BBQ then we are likely to approve. If 10 extra people want to stop by we are unlikely to approve, which could put your booking at risk. We will always try to be reasonable with reasonable people within property constraints and House Rules.

Cameras and Noise Monitoring: There are no external security cameras at this location presently but the owner reserves the right at any time to install external cameras at their discretion. Any camera install will be in line with local regulations. A noise monitoring device is installed - fines apply to guests found to have disconnected, removed or damaged the noise device. These devices are used to monitor and maintain ours and guests responsibilities under the NSW STR Code of Conduct.

Guest Registration / ID Check: Weekenda requires every guest to complete and sign an electronic guest registration prior to arrival which will ask for a photo ID i.e. a copy of your Drivers Licence or Passport. The primary booker will also be required to complete a list with the guest's names and actual mobile numbers. In the event we are unable to reach the primary booker, it is very important we can get a hold of other guests. These documents will be deleted after your departure. Access Codes are only released to Registered and Verified Guests.

Critical Update: Due to an unprecedented influx of fraudulent bookings, we are forced to impose a policy that protects our clients, industry and community against those attempting to commit fraud and theft. Any booking made within 5 days of arrival is required to provide a photo of a valid credit card in the same full name of the primary guest to match the supplied identification document. Failure of these documents matching will result in the booking being cancelled and all funds processed returned to the original card assumed as stolen and thus a fraudulent transaction. We trust we have our honest and genuine customers understanding this policy is in place to protect all parties.

Insurance: As always, but ever so more due to recent times, we strongly encourage any holidaymakers to obtain a very inexpensive 3rd Party Domestic Travel Insurance Policy to cover you for all manners of matters which may restrict travel. This is particularly helpful for things like Hunter Valley Concert cancellations, Covid or Medical and Other Emergencies for which we don't provide refunds, and anything which falls under our standard Terms & Conditions irrespective of the reason. We suggest reviewing policies with 'Cover-More' or 'Travel Insurance Direct' or 'Insureandgo'

This property is managed by Weekenda, a licensed real estate. Weekenda staff are available 7 days a week to assist from your initial enquiry through to your departure and everything in between.

We look forward to having you stay with us.

Tranquility & family fun
On arrival we made a cuppa & sat down on the verandah and ahhh…tranquility. Our daughters ran around in our private yard with a swing and we could unwind. Met the owners the next day and then every morning our girls fed the horses and sheep with them. So much fun. We were even given extra hay to feed the horses when they were next to our yard. Can’t rate it high enough

Beautiful Location to Relax and Getaway!
Myself and a group of friends stayed here for a little girls weekend away! We absolutely loved this place. Throughout the stay we all continuously made comments about how beautiful the pace way, the location and how friendly the owner is! We were sad we couldn’t stay longer. The property is lovely, clean and has all that we needed. The location and surroundings is stunning! Beautiful views of the countryside and hills. Before leaving we ran into the owner who was feeding the horses on the property. She was so friendly and kind and even invited us all to help feed the sheep. There are also the cutest dogs and cows also on the property as well. We will definitely be coming back again one day in the future and booking for more nights this time!! We all definitely recommend this place for friends family or even a couples getaway!

Absolutely amazing!
We loved our stay at Malolo! A beautiful, clean house with a peaceful view over paddocks. We loved every minute walking around the farm and relaxing on the patio. Bel was amazing with our girls and they loved being introduced to all of the farm animals. We all didn't want to leave.

Charming Farm Stay
Three of us ladies visited this wonderful property in Quorrobolong that was a 20-30 drive from several wineries in Cessnock. The property was located on a lovely sprawling farm with a few beautiful horses, plenty of cows that enjoyed light conversation with us, goats, chicken and a serene lake a short walk away. The property has all modern conveniences from microwave, oven, laundry etc and 3 very spacious bedrooms. You’re surrounded by nature and the sound of cicadas at night. It’s ideal for either couples, friends or a family. Come prepared with food, water and wifi as some of the nearer shops for amenities are a bit of a drive away, and only Telstra seems to work in the area. We had a great time at this accommodation and would return the next time we’re near the Hunter

Great farm stay for the family
We had a wonderful time staying at this property, the house is beautiful and spacious, recently renovated and extremely well kept. We loved being able to enjoy the outdoors and our son loved being so close to the animals. Beautiful location and a very short distance to Cessnock. The owners were wonderful and super helpful with us. Definitely recommend and would absolutely go back any time!

Great weekend
Lovely, clean, well equipped house - so comfortable on a cold, wet weekend. Great open fire and everything that you could want in a house. I’d have no hesitation I recommending it. My kids loved the two friendly dogs that came to say hello, and walking down to the lake - saying hello to the horses on the way. This would be a great house for anyone who has mobility issues as there is lots of space and no steps. Only minor drawback was having to get out of the car to open and close the gate in the pouring rain! Thank you for having us, we had a lovely time.

Owner unpleasant on arrival and felt we were being watched
Owner initially refused access on arrival for our 4 night booking as she saw our cavoodle (as had a prior bad experience with dogs staying). Advised no pets would be allowed, despite booking through dog friendly section and disclosing cavoodle. Distressing to be faced with prospect of potentially having to leave and drive 3 hours home. Eventually allowed in after she spoke to the agent. We accommodated owner's request to not allow our pet on carpet and to cover furniture in sheets during stay, but made our stay less enjoyable. Received a call one evening within 30 minutes of mother in law arriving for a glass of wine, to ask why another car was in the driveway. Felt like we were being watched. Agent very friendly to deal with by phone, but unfortunate that we had to deal with them about these issues. Would not return , despite house being lovely.
