“Had the most incredible stay in the barn loft apartment! The place is so special! The grounds are so perfectly manicured.. it was the most picturesque property I’ve ever seen. The apartment has everything you could possibly need and more! I can’t recommend this place enough. The owners were also lovely to deal with too. Will be coming back as soon as we can!”
“Myself, my little family, extended family and close friends stayed here. It completely outdone any of our expectations. It was such a beautiful place to stay and i would love to thank the host for helping me piece together a proposal to the love of my life who said YES!!! We cannot wait to come back to this place. I highly recommend this place to anyone whether it is a nice family weekend away or a friend’s trip. You won’t regret it.”
“Three words: just book it!!! From the very beginning, Natalie was a super responsive host, and made us feel incredibly welcome. The views are absolutely stunning, horses and paddocks all beautifully manicured, such a fantastic location. The unit itself was so thoughtfully appointed, immaculately clean, and had such a wonderful vibe to it. Staying in Cessnock is fine, but if you want a truly special stay in the Hunter area, remember, just book it!! You won’t be disappointed!”
“Without a doubt one of my favourite accommodation I have stayed in during my time in Sydney. The house is amazing and very clean. My room had a sky view shower and the most comfortable bed! I absolutely loved the cheese and fruit platters waiting for us on arrival. Taking a walk through the property is extremely fun as they have beautiful horses and wild kangaroos! Our hostess provided us with great recommendations to the surrounding wineries, and they did not disappoint. When we arrived back from our lunch we were greeted with a fire in the fireplace. We spent the remaining time in the house as it had everything we needed and more! Extremely cozy atmosphere! We are already planning on a next visit :)”
“Stunning barn loft apartment with the most beautiful views throughout. There was a high level of attention to detail put into the whole apartment which made our stay feel very luxurious and easy. Our getaway here couldn’t have been more enjoyable and it was a bonus that the property was dog friendly.”
“Exceptional Accommodation! Our family had the absolute pleasure of staying at Argentille Boutique Accommodation recently, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The accommodation and hospitality were of the highest level, set against breathtaking views at this country retreat—one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. The rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean, and beautifully styled with incredible attention to detail. Every need was thoughtfully catered to, and both the house and stables exuded luxury. Nathalie went above and beyond to assist us with anything we needed, including sourcing local gourmet food providers. Her hospitality, along with that of her team, made our stay extra special. This picturesque property offers an unforgettable experience, and we highly recommend it. We can’t wait to stay again!”
“We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Argentille Boutique Accommodation recently and felt treated by the high level of accommodations and hospitality received. The views are breath taking and stunning. This peaceful country retreat and wellness center is an experience you'll never forget. Minutes away from local vineyards, cellar doors and weekend markets. The property is also pet friendly :) - even your furry family member gets to benefit from exploring the well manicured grounds with you - and kept on leash, receives a friendly hello from the resident horses. We can't wait to book again. 10/10!”
