Disappointing property
This property was not up to an acceptable standard. There was a mice infestation and generally the property lacked maintenance and was very tired in appearance. We have left a review at Weekenda's request. The property was in a great location which meant we enjoyed the Hunter Valley as a result.

Hi Dennis, Thank you for your review on Blaxlands, I do question it's honestly as your group made no contact during your stay or on your departure to report any issues. Our team are on the ground and available 24 hours day. This passed week we had pest control attend and conduct a service. Mice activity was reported as low. Thank you, Weekenda

Great Location
Great place for a family with children to stay. Location was excellent and the property had a lot of are around for kids to play. Had a fire pit, great bbq area. The bathroom are a bit old but everything was clean and well maintained. Highly recommend this house.

Wonderful Property, Enjoyable Getaway
We had a fantastic getaway for 2 nights, the property backs on to a vineyard which is centrally located in Pokolbin and we had a group of kangaroos greet us on our arrival. We hired the property during the week on a Wednesday and Thursday as it was much cheaper on these days however would have liked to hire on Friday and Saturday but the prices skyrocketed almost double per night. Most cellar doors are not open on Wednesday and Thursday so we will have to come back and visit the rest another time. I think they must have had a wild bunch of people at this property previously as they make sure to constantly barrage you with sms and emails detailing the point of no parties and security cameras at the property which I did not appreciate as it made the house feel like we were staying at the big brother house. No need for the constant reminders for an age group in their 40s. Other than that everything went well and we will back to enjoy the peace and quiet.

Hi Kegan, thank you for choosing to stay at Blaxlands Homestead - we would love to welcome you back for a weekend visit! The kangaroos love to hang out at Blaxlands Homestead! We send all guests one email and one SMS detailing our no party policy - we find it important to protect our owners and isn't a reflection of your group. Thank you for your review. Regards, The Weekend Team

SHOCKED AND DISAPPOINTED
I really don’t know where to start with this property. We were celebrating my husbands 70th birthday and were staying there with family and friends visiting from interstate and overseas for 5 nights. At first sight it looked quite good and my husband lit the fire straight away. But soon noticed the house was not clean. It’s very old and delapidated which was not a problem but cleanliness is. Shower screens were black and mouldy … sliding door is master ensuite was sliding off because of a broken board …. Our friend (27year old) got stuck in the shower because the door got stuck ….. there was a hole in the ceiling in the bedroom we slept in. There was no hanging facility in master room for clothes even though it had a walk in wardrobe which was being used as a store room …. We had to ask for a rail for our clothes …. The laundry was also used as a storage and it was very dirty and had an awful smell. No vacuum cleaner and I would not put my clothes in the sink, washer or dryer. Kitchen was moderately stocked. White flour tiles were barely washed. Outside the property was very dirty messy and untidy …. Rubbish thrown everywhere . Pool looked clean but around was not. The barbecue area and bbqs were shocking. There was also bare wiring on the floor in the kitchen which was dangerous for children and pets. The wifi was very poor which was apparently due to the recent bad weather. To finish I was very embarrassed when my visitors arrived and we had booked 5 nights but left after 4… . The house was very expensive and we all definitely felt we did not get value for money. The location is moderate but not worth the expense of the house. I suggest if thinking of booking this go check it out first. The photographs are not showing a true image right now. The house needs a massive overhaul and a coat of paint would work wonders.

Hi Marie, we are disappointed to hear this. We reached out to you on day 2 to see how your trip was going & you brought to our attention the cleanliness, poor wifi connection & lack of wardrobe space. We urgently responded to your request & we offered to send our team back to the property to clean anything that may have bothered you, a wifi check & we also purchased a portable clothes rack, however you denied our request so we were unable to rectify any of the issues you mentioned to us. Should we have been give the opportunity we would have resolved any issues you had.

Hello Kieron, Thank you for your feedback. Once you reported your above issues to Weekenda we acted fast and according with a staff member on site within 15 minutes of receiving your email with kindling, dry wood and fire starters and a Wi-Fi dongle. As discussed with recent floods the wood had been wet and unable to dry. A pest controller attended after your stay- Weekenda Team

Excellently located large and comfortable property
Our stay was very comfortable. The location of the property is very convenient and its walking distance to shops and a cafe. The house is large, with many living areas and well furnished (comfy couches, large screen TVs, Wifi, Chromecast). A couple of things that could be improved are that some of the areas are a little dated. For example, the bathrooms aren't as nice as the rest of the house. This is a relatively minor complaint though.

A quality stay
If you’re after privacy this is the property. The perfect start to any day was sitting out the front with coffee in hand watching the kangaroos graze. This house had everything and more! Would recommend this property for the perfect stay.

The location is superb. Everything we wanted to do was nearby. The house is very well appointed and was really comfortable for our 9 guests. The quality aircon in every room was a huge plus for a hot summer getaway.

Weekend family getaway - 85th birthday celebration
Property is extremely well presented and in an ideal central Pokolbin location. There is an excellent restaurant (Blaxlands Inn) within walking distance and is highly recommended with quality food and service. Property is advertised as 6 bedroom (12 guests) however there is only 5 bedrooms (10 guests). Additional bedding can be arranged if required (was no problem) with single trundle beds placed in two of the larger bedrooms. Living areas are very spacious which made for a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Kay! I just had a look on the website and I can see that Vrbo is reading the 'Living Room' as the 6th bedroom. I will see if they can change this. Thank you!

Excellent location, lovely management
Honestly do not want to say how great this property is and would rather it be kept secret! We were incredibly impressed and could not have asked for a more attentive host. Peter looked after us and is a wonderful advocate for the property and the Hunter area. Blaxland Homestead will be our groups choice whenever visiting the area.

The bbq was dirty and caught fire we cleaned it before use and the grill still caught fire. The oven was dirty so didn’t use it. The house was amazing but needs some work done and needs refreshing. Great location and very large pool was great.

Location, location
Such a convenient & central location. So much space both inside & out - multiple outdoor entertaining areas & so great to have two big comfortable lounge areas, both with entertainment units - one for the adults & one for the kids/teens made for a restful stay & no squabbles over the TV. Very comfortable, everything you could possibly need & the pool was a hit.
