The undercover outdoor entertaining verandah can be enjoyed in all seasons with gorgeous views of the Brokenback Range, exterior overhead fans, gas BBQ, outdoor lounge and dining table and Chiminea in winter. While away the evenings with friends over the games table for chess and cards, or enjoy the library of books, Netflix and a complimentary port in hand - everything you need to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. 

Should you wish to invite more guests to join you beyond your party of 4, Corunna Station also has further accommodation available with The Homestead, perfect for 6 guests to stay in its 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom configuration, and The Country House; perfect for 12 guests to stay in its 5 Bedroom, 3 Bathroom configuration.

Wonderful, authentic and charming. This is a truly lovely cottage with everything you could need.

We had a lovely stay. The outside area and Chiminea was a delight. The cottage was as wonderful. Highly recommended.

Magic little cottage

The cooks house was amazing, comfortable for a couple and a friend and good indoor outdoor living. Close enough to all the hunter had to offer. Would highly recommend as your next accomodation in the hunter valley!

Gorgeous cottage

Loved the property! Only issue was locating it. The number was not distinctive on the letterbox, the property wasn’t named by any signage and when rang for assistance was given some misinformation…… there were meant to be two white tractor tyres outside front gate, which weren’t there. Otherwise, it was a gorgeous setting and cottage. Loved it.❤️

Classy Surprise

As we drove up to the property on the dirt road we had that glum feeling of omg what have we done! The Cooks House is no beauty on the outside nor is its surroundings but once you open the front door it’s absolutely wonderful. All photos represent the property beautifully, it’s very well appointed, maintained and extremely comfortable. Plenty of air conditioning/ heating which was a relief as it was almost 40 degrees when we arrived, but the most wonderful thing is the feeling of pure comfort and warmth you feel throughout the entire home.

A gem in the Hunter

We could not fault the Cooks House at Corunna Station. My wife and I took another couple (4 x adults) to the Hunter Valley for a Concert and the Cooks House was perfect. Exceptionally clean, well presented and appointed. It was an absolute Gem and made our stay all that more enjoyable. A perfect place for the weekend and the complimentary Piggs Peake wine and port were a pleasant (and enjoyed) surprise. Our only regret being we couldn't stay longer. We will be back.
