My husband and I stayed at Lilly Pilly over New Years, with our dog Nova. It was such a peaceful way to start the new year. We bbq’d dinner on the deck where we listened to the birds and crickets, and even saw some kangaroos laying in the shade. The wineries are nice and close, and the cottage has everything you need, including breakfast provisions and a bottle of their beautiful wine. We loved being able to bring our dog with us, she loved it too! We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful stay in the Hunter valley.
