Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Lovedale

Absolutely beautiful studio that overlooks a valley filled with Kangaroos, Rabbits and plenty of birds. Driving into this property i was blown away by how gorgeous this place is in person. The studio gets plenty of sun, and is less than a 5 min walk away from Audrey Wilkinson. The location of the property is perfect, as it felt very private yet was so close to everything that Pokolbin had to offer! Sally was very responsive, making our check in & stay feel seamless. She also recommended some local eateries, and was very kind and welcoming. Genuinely can’t recommend this place enough, the whole experience was a 10/10 and i’m looking forward to coming here again. Thank you so so much Sally and Iain for hosting us!

The place was amazing, with lots of space, and plenty of room for a larger group. The hosts were super responsive to messages, and even brought us extra wine glasses on a Saturday evening when needed. Overall great base for a Hunter Valley trip, would definitely stay again!

Great place, exactly as described. It accommodated our group of 8 who visited the Hunter Valley for a golf trip. Checking in was seamless, the host was responsive and always checking in on us to make sure we were taken care of. Will 100% recommend to any friends and family visiting the Hunter Valley region.

Felt like a home.. the place was so clean and perfect for the group stay. Will definitely recommend people looking to spend some tome with their family and friends.

We loved staying at David and Shiran’s place. If you have kids this is the perfect place to be able to unwind while they have a plethora of options for entertainment. David and Shiran were super friendly, kind, helpful, very quick to respond and lovely to deal with - they welcomed our dog also, who adored the property. The house was very cozy and spacious and the block of land was beautiful. Loved waking up to the cows next door, opening the door and letting the kids take off! Finally, the wine and snores that were left were very thoughtful and we all really enjoyed sitting by the fire outside and toasting our marshmallows under the full moon. Will be staying again for sure.

Quirky place, comfy beds, good coffee in easy walking distance, close drive to town centre

This was our second time staying here, and once again it was absolutely perfect. The location is awesome — peaceful, secluded, and with stunning views in every direction. It’s incredibly quiet, which made for a truly relaxing getaway. Everything we needed was included, from the cozy fire we could light to keep warm, to the fully equipped kitchen that had everything we could possibly need for cooking. It really feels like a home away from home. Highly recommended — and we’ll definitely be coming back again! Yvonne even kindly offered a slight discount.

The home was well equipped and in a great location, very quiet and relaxing. It was an easy walk or drive to cafes and shops. Perfect for a small group or family to explore the Hunter Valley

Not only was the space fun and pretty, Jean thoughtfully provided fresh fruit, milk, snacks and breakfast foods for our use. So perfect!

Fantastic apartment in a great location. Comfortable, secure and felt right at home

This place was the perfect place to stay while attending a birthday party nearby. We were continually entertained by the attention to detail and thoughtful inclusions to make our stay enjoyable. Spinning the old vinyls on the original 1960s record player was fun. Especially loved the old Beach Boys album. Good vibrations all round! A fun, funky and different place to stay.

Great stay, Beautiful views. Perfect getaway for the weekend

Bernadette’s place is a great find! Beautiful view overlooking the pool and lake, and the complimentary coffee/tea/cookies were a nice touch. Bed was also super comfy! Would definitely stay here again

We really enjoyed our 3 nights at Matt's place. Same as other reviews, in that it was a little hard to find when first checking in, in the dark too, but once we got our bearings with Matt's map we had no issues. That was really the only hiccup. The area is great, and you can hire bikes to do a self wine tour, direct from the resort, rather than hire elsewhere, which was a great bonus

A comfortable apartment within walking distance of bars and restaurants. Nicole is an excellent and thoughtful host and we highly recommend the apartment.

Sarah’s Wren’s Nest was perfect. It is exactly as described in photos and words. Despite its size, It is comfortable, secure, convenient and easy to access. The bed and sofa are comfortable and there is plenty of space for clothes. The shower is roomy and clean. A suitcase stand is provided. Sarah responded to a question quickly. Despite being downtown, it was actually quiet. The black out curtain plus privacy screen kept the apartment dark at night. The beaches and harbor are very close with the beach/harbor tram only a block away. The apartment is on the Hunter mall, so there is a bakery, coffee shop, restaurant, chemist, quick mart and restaurant on the block, but the downtown area surrounds the apartment so you are never far from anything you might need or want. Entry is via key and fob, so I suggest you have a key chain to keep it secure. All in all a very nicely appointed apartment, downtown near harbor and beaches.

Perfect for a weekend or even long term getaway. Location was great, right in the heart of the city, 5-mins walk to a couple local pubs, cafes and convenience stores and 15-mins walk to beach and light rail interchange. Also noticed quite a few buses with different bus routes around the area as well. Check in was a breeze and not that I had any issues but Mel was quick to reply once I had advised check in and check out. The place itself was fantastic, ducted air con throughout, 2 very big comfy beds, large lounge area and huge dining area with a kitchen that had what you need to cook for a large group of people, if you wished. Having access to a washing machine and dryer is always a plus, esp. when there’s a 2nd toilet and the bathroom was clean as well. Would definitely look to stay there again if going back up to Newcastle.

Kim’s place was amazing and we thank you so much for an epic stay . Clean , convenient and walking distance to lots of great attractions Thanks Kim

We were so impressed to find such beautiful accommodation that was pet friendly right in the middle of Newcastle! The accommodation was clean, aesthetically lovely, with little touches to make everything special. Keran provided everything you could possibly want or need including lovely snacks, beach towels, coffee and tea, books and much more. I would definitely recommend accommodation and will book in again and again :)

Loved this place, the host and the parkland around. Very convenient. Perfect independent little cottage with all amenities needed. Look forward to returning.

The apartment and the amenities are outstanding. We returned here because we had to extend staying away from our house because of renovations. This was our first choice and u cannot recommend it enough. What really does need highlighted is how much of an outstanding history Connie is. She was so understanding, compassionate, super friendly and flexible. She deserves 10 stars.
