Whispering Brook Vineyard Large House | Fireplace | Cellar Door | Hunter Valley

Whispering Brook Vineyard House | Sleeps 8–18 | Hunter Valley Cellar Door

Whispering Brook Vineyard House is a spacious 5-bedroom guesthouse on a 27-acre working vineyard and olive grove in Broke, Hunter Valley, just 2 hours from Sydney. Your group has the entire house to itself, with our cellar door and winery a short stroll from the front door.

If you are looking for a large house in the Hunter Valley where the whole group can stay together, with a private wine tasting on site and no driving required, this is it.

THE HOUSE AT A GLANCE

- Sleeps 8 to 18 guests
- 5 private bedrooms plus 2 open-plan sleeping areas
- 3.5 bathrooms
- Two levels. Ground level wheelchair accessible
- Exclusive use of the house and gardens for your group
- Reverse-cycle air-conditioning and wood heating

KITCHEN AND DINING

Open-plan recycled timber kitchen, fully equipped to cook for 18, with a large freestanding gas cooktop, electric oven and full appliances. Prefer not to cook? Book our in-house chef for a private dinner at the house.

LIVING AND OUTDOOR SPACES

Multiple indoor living and dining areas with room for the whole group to sit down together. A large covered outdoor entertaining area with gas BBQ and fireplace looks out over the vines and olive groves. The games room with table tennis keeps all ages busy.

WALK TO THE CELLAR DOOR

Very few large group houses in the Hunter Valley have a cellar door and winery on the same estate. Here, your tasting is a short walk from the house, not a 20-minute drive, so nobody has to be the designated driver.

Included with every stay:
- Private wine and olive oil tasting for your group at our cellar door

Optional experiences (additional cost, bookings essential):
- Portuguese Wine and Artisan Cheese Tasting, $95 per person: 5 wines matched with 5 Binnorie cheeses, comparing library and current vintages. Maximum 8 guests, Thursday to Saturday.
- Private Olive Grove Long Table Lunch
- Alfresco dining with estate produce
- In-house chef for private group dinners

THE WINES

Whispering Brook pioneered Portuguese wine varietals in the Hunter Valley and was the first winery in the region to grow and make Touriga Nacional (red) and Arinto (white), alongside Hunter Valley Shiraz and Semillon. Halliday 5-Star Winery. Small-batch, single-vineyard and estate-grown.

IDEAL FOR

- Large family holidays and multigenerational reunions
- Milestone birthdays for groups of 8 to 18
- Friends' group getaways and wine weekends
- Wedding guest accommodation, with Hunter Valley wedding venues nearby
- Corporate retreats, team-building and off-site strategy days
- Sydney groups wanting a 2-hour escape with everything on site

LOCATION

165 Hill Street, Broke NSW 2330, in the Broke Fordwich wine region: the quieter, more relaxed side of the Hunter Valley, framed by the Brokenback Range and Yengo National Park.

- 2 hours from Sydney CBD via the M1 (Peats Ridge or Cessnock exits)
- Short walk to the Whispering Brook cellar door
- 3 to 4 minutes by car to acclaimed winery dining
- About 20 minutes to Pokolbin and Hunter Valley Gardens

A car is recommended. For group transfers from Sydney and winery touring, we recommend Urban Legend Tours.

Whispering Brook. A working estate. A private retreat. The Hunter Valley as it was meant to be experienced.

We loved our stay , plenty of room for all our family and extended family (16ppl in total) . We loved the outdoor entertaining area, using the Bbq and the large outdoor table. Plenty of seating in the longeroom and enough bathrooms for everyone to get ready for my Brothers wedding. Would definitely stay again if we needed accommodation in Broke. We also enjoyed our wine tasting Thankyou

The setting within the vineyard was awesome and both Susan and Linda have been great hosts. The only major headache we had was with the dishwasher, which had all labels wiped out, keys half functional, and no instruction provided. Took me many trials and errors plus fiddling to get it working. The beds were not great either as we could feel the springs on our back and the mattress sink in the middle. Love the table tennis table!

Relaxing

We had a wonderful weekend away staying at the Whispering Brook. We all comfortably stayed in the gorgeous house and then stared the weekend off with a tasting at the Cellar door. Our tour guide was fantastic! He absolutely made our morning, the best tasting of the day, not to mention the delish wine! Thank you for having us, we will be back.

Home away from Home

Overall it was fantastic in every respect with the only downfall being cleanliness…..cobwebs, filthy fan blades and just not up to the standard for a property where the rental cost is huge. More focus on improving cleanliness and dicing all the scented smelly sticks in a lot of the rooms.

A quiet place to stay

We had a great time at whispering Brook including a fabulous tasting with Glen on Day 1. 20 mins drive into Pokolbin but if you’re looking for someone peaceful this house is lovely. The peacock visiting was an added bonus. Ping pong was a lot of laughs! Thanks very much Bree

Wonderful!

Wonderful location, property and owners! Very much looking forward to coming back and spending more time doing the same things - wine tasting, relaxing, spending time with family in a beautifully thought out property. The resident peacock was a hit with the children and dogs too! We’ve decided to call him ‘Stuart’, and hope he’s also still there when we return :)

Very nicely furnished and comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay at Whispering Brook country house. The setting was very relaxing and stress free. We took our older dog and she settled in ok. It even had a Peakcock which was very friendly. Next time I would like to try the wine tasting.

Relaxing country house

We stayed for a few nights with a big group (13 people). There was plenty of room and the house accommodated us all comfortably. The cellar was amazing and very generous to our group. In the morning we had kangaroos in the yard and olive grove which was lovely to see. The location of Broke is fantastic with delicious wines and food everywhere.

10 of our closes friends got together for a girls weekend away for my 30th. We had the best time and we were well looked after by Whispering Brook. It was the coldest weekend in the Hunter, however we were warm as toast in the house with the fire going. the wine tour was also a great experience.

Great for large family groups

We had a great time at Whispering Brook. The cottage is set on a beautiful property with vinyard, olive groves and mature trees. The cellar door is only a minute walk away and they do a fantastic complimentary tour and tasting for cottage guests. Ron, the Manager is fantastic value and full of interesting facts. The house is a little worn and could do with some work. Although this did not detract from our stay. The one thing i would say was an issue was in the kitchen. They need to refresh all the kitchen utensils and fix the dishwasher. Otherwise a lovely property.
