Jamevin Mountain retreat - Hidden Gem Perfect for Families & Large Groups
Jamevin Lodge is a unique custom built family holiday home, boasting 7 large bedrooms including 6 bathrooms and great entertaining areas for up to 25
people.
This house is nestled in bushland on top of a 400ha mountain top resort with bush walking trails and access to a communal tennis court & pool (located a 4 min walk from the house).
The home also includes a private hot spa on your large private deck nestled in 5 acres . To make your stay a genuine pleasure the lodge Includes such activities as a pool table, darts, area for cricket, basket ball, net ball, foot ball, or just relax in front of a fire place.
Expansive verandas/balcony provide spectacular views across the Hunter region toward Maitland and one of Australia's largest and awe-inspiring National Parks.
Guests can discover our mountaintop wilderness resort in a variety of ways. On foot, in, Mountain Bikes or relaxing bush walks. Every day can be an adventure from the accessible private rain-forest, to the lookout at the Mount George Trig Station.
Coo-ee Trail in Vacy is a nature-based resort with over 640 acres (259ha) of natural adventure land featuring an amazing variety of fauna and flora. Native animals which have made Coo-ee Trail their home include; Kangaroos, Wallaroos, Wallabies, Echidnas, Goannas and that is before you look skyward and marvel at King Parrots, Eastern and Crimson Rosellas, Red-Browed Firetails, Blue Wrens, Bush Doves and our namesake, the majestic Wedge tailed Eagle.
It can cater for a large family or group who wish to completely escape into a bushland retreat with all the luxury of your own house.
The 18m by 5m deck offers plenty of space to enjoy the company of friends while relaxing in the spa, cooking on the BBQ or just lazing in the sun.
Please note, we have installed 2 outdoor cameras at the property for security purposes: One is monitoring the driveway to the property & car park, and the other is covering the deck area (facing towards the dining table).
