Tucked away in the tranquil Congewai Valley, just 25 minutes from the heart of the Hunter Valley and 15 minutes from Cessnock, Mandalay Villas offer the ultimate secluded escape. Designed as the perfect couple`s retreat, each villa is a stylish one-bedroom studio featuring a fully equipped kitchen, indulgent bathtub, private pool, and a cosy fireplace with firewood supplied at no extra charge.

Whether you`re seeking a romantic weekend or a mid-week reset, this Hunter Valley farm stay invites you to unwind your way. Start your mornings with coffee on the patio as kangaroos graze nearby, spend the afternoon soaking by the pool, and finish the day curled up by the fire with a glass of local wine.
