🌿 Welcome to Your Medowie Escape Nestled among the trees and surrounded by peaceful countryside, our Medowie retreat is designed to help you unwind and reconnect. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the calm of nature paired with all the comforts of home. Whether you’re here for a family getaway, a romantic escape, or simply a break from the everyday, our home offers the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. Inside, you’ll find light-filled living spaces, a cozy lounge with a fireplace, a modern kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms to suit couples, families, and friends. Step outside and enjoy the spacious garden, watch the friendly Highland cows grazing nearby, or relax under the stars after a day of exploring Port Stephens, Newcastle, or the Hunter Valley—all just a short drive away. We started hosting because we genuinely love creating a space where people can slow down, recharge, and feel at home. Nothing makes us happier than seeing guests share family meals, enjoy evenings by the fire, or simply take in the quiet beauty of the property. We’re passionate about country living and love that we can share it with others—even if just for a little while. In our own time, we enjoy good food, spending time outdoors, and looking after the animals who make this place so special. Hosting gives us the chance to meet wonderful people from all walks of life, and it’s always a joy to be part of your story—even for a weekend. We can’t wait to welcome you to Medowie and hope your stay leaves you refreshed, inspired, and with happy memories to take home. I highly recommend bringing boots as it is muddy around due to all of the rain. Please do not feed the Highlands bread or any other feed accept for the hay provided. Thank you

Guests love Medowie for its peaceful, country feel while still being close to some of the region’s best attractions. From here, you can enjoy the golden beaches of Port Stephens, where swimming, surfing, and long coastal walks are at their best. Families love Oakvale Wildlife Park and the famous Toboggan Hill Park, while adventure-seekers can head out on unforgettable dolphin and whale watching cruises in Nelson Bay. If you’re looking to explore further, the vibrant city of Newcastle is less than 40 minutes away—perfect for a day trip filled with ocean baths, art galleries, cafes, and restaurants. For wine lovers, the Hunter Valley is an easy drive, offering award-winning wineries, restaurants, and breathtaking scenery. A favourite local gem is the Farmer’s Wife Distillery in Allworth, where you can enjoy boutique gins crafted with a true paddock-to-bottle philosophy. Guests often say what they love most about the neighbourhood is how easy it is to combine relaxation and adventure. You can spend the morning at the beach, the afternoon wine tasting or exploring national parks, and the evening back at the house unwinding under the stars. Whether it’s a family getaway, a couple’s retreat, or a weekend with friends, there’s something here for everyone.
