We've stayed here a few times now and it's a great weekend escape. Billabong Moon is good for a few families travelling together with or without kids because there's a range of accommodation - 2 bed cottages, 1 bed cottage, 2 beds in guest suite. The breakfast and BBQ hampers are generous, high quality and means minimal shopping required. The... More

We stayed in the Billabong Cottage at Billabong Moon for three nights mid-week to celebrate our wedding anniversary - and we couldn't have chosen a better place. I had been captivated by the pic on Tripadvisor, and was delighted when we arrived to find it was just as beautiful as I had hoped. The cottage was spotlessly clean with many... More

We were sorry that the cottage did not come up to expectations since the guest had asked specifically for that cottage and we moved someone to another cottage to facilitate that. The “few dry looking trees” are Casuarina Glauca, native to the area, referred to throughout our website and a very important Australian species . The other vegetation are mature... More

Need for car: as with any wine region in the world apart from some in Europe, properties are 25-100 plus acres so they are spread out. There are exceptions: the Hotels close to Hunter Valley Gardens from which you can walk to a few wineries and restaurants. Our clients generally want to get away from crowds and are happy with...

Stayed here last year, over looking the lagoon, 2 bedroom 2 bath house, wood-fire at night wine during the day. Come to the hunter often and this is the best place. They supply breakfast basket and leave you to enjoy the peace and quiet.

Really loved the stay at billabong moon, stayed in treetops for 2 nights. Can't complain about anything to do with the room or service. Breakfast basket was fresh and tasty and location was great. Highly recommend for a romantic holiday away.

First accomdation where I felt the need to rebook the next time we come back to the Hunter Valley. It's secluded yet still close enough to main wineries. The kitchen was perfectly stocked and the living room furniture was very comfortable. The deck sitting on the water with a gazebo was like staring at a post card.

Decided to book this place after we were amazed by the beautiful photos. The place is exactly what we imagined. It's quiet, relaxing and beautiful. It took us 4 hours drive from Blue Mountain via Putty Road. Then we were welcomed by the host, Andy. And a beautiful kangaroo, Matilda. The treetops cabin we booked is very well equipped and... More
