Where we are and local attractions

Valley Beyond is located in the hills above Mt View just over 12 kilometres (12 minutes) from Cessnock in the southern part of the Hunter Valley wine region.

All the wonderful facilities the Hunter Valley has to offer, over a hundred cellar door wineries, internationally acclaimed golf courses, sensational restaurants and cafes, horse riding, 4WD trips, ballooning etc., are at your fingertips.

HOW TO GET THERE:
Coming from Sydney

Travel past the Cessnock High School & sports grounds on your left. Go straight through the first set of traffic lights at the intersection of Vincent Street and Aberdare Road following the Wollombi and Bellbird signs to Wollombi Road. Turn left into Wollombi Road. Drive for 5 km, through the village of Bellbird past the Bellbird Hotel and turn right into Kendall Street. The Bellbird Mine Memorial Park is on the corner. Follow Kendall St (becomes Bimbadeen Rd) for 4.3 klms up into the hills until it meets Mt View Rd. Turn LEFT into Mt View Rd (following signposts to Millfield Winery and Cedars) and continue to the very top of the hill . . . . .

Coming from Wollombi

Take the Wollombi Rd north towards Cessnock. At Bellbird (about 12 km from Wollombi) turn left into Kendall St (signposted) just after Memorial Park. Follow Kendall St (becomes Bimbadeen Rd) for 4.3 klms up into the hills until it meets Mt View Rd . Turn LEFT into Mt View Rd (following signposts to Millfield Winery and Cedars) and continue to the very top of the hill . . .

Coming from Pokolbin

Head towards the Mt View area. Get onto Mt View Rd heading towards Briar Ridge or Petersons wineries and continue past those wineries up Mt View Rd. At the Bimbadeen Rd continue straight ahead and up the hill to the very top . . .

At the Top of the Hill

. . . at the top of the hill a tarred road runs off to your left to the Bimbadeen lookout and Mt View Rd continues straight on as a dirt road. Continue along Mt View Rd for about 50 metres and follow it left and down the hill (there is a street sign where you turn left). Conitue on this road for about 2 kms, cross a bridge and the Valley Beyond is the first house on your left after the bridge.

Brilliant country house in a spectacular area.
We absolutely loved the property! It is tucked away in a pocked of Mount View. Close enough to the wineries but far enough that you feel like youve really escaped. Sitting on the verandah was heaven! We cant wait to come back!

It is not pet-friendly unless the bindi in the grass are attended to.
This property is advertised as pet friendly, but due to the amount of bindis everywhere in the grass my son's dog ended up with awful infected feet. It cost $919 for 2 nights of accommodation and a vet account on my return home, I wasn't even given the main bedroom. No quilt just sheets and an old blanket. I was honest with the owners and advised them the property was for myself and a dog. I felt as though I wasn't considered as a guest. I am a 63-year-old mature woman, the owner gave me instructions for the property like I was a child. None of the windows opened, and staying in a property with air conditioning or ceiling fans circulating the air was quite uncomfortable, I was hoping for fresh air. I needed a pet-friendly property for my son's dog to attend my son's wedding, after booking Valley and Beyond I did find cheaper nicer places. Living in the southern highlands I was unaware of the area, but this stay has taught me a lesson for future bookings. It always pays to do your research. I took several photos of the property when I arrived as I felt uncomfortable with the instructions provided by the owners.

Incredible spot. will come back!
Absolutely nothing fell short in this place. Stunning view from the house, beautiful house itself. They provided a lot for the house we hadn't even thought of bringing, like condiments, suncream, coffee, etc. Only 10-15 minutes drive from winery areas. 100% recomend and we will be coming back!

Mid-week wedding stay
Our daughter got married on the property across the road. We were lucky enough to secure a booking so we could celebrate without having too far to go. The property feels very secluded, but it's close to Cessnock (15 mins) with plenty of places to pick up supplies. Thank you Lyn for making everything easy, from the booking to being made to feel welcome. Bedding, cutlery, crockery, towels and BBQ were all supplied. Would highly recommend the property to anyone that needs an escape. The large verandah is a great spot to sit and be. The bonus . . . Watched a calf be born in the paddock next door!

Another relaxing stay
This was our fourth visit & we keep returning as we just love our time at Valley Beyond. Sitting on the verandah, looking out over the paddocks and hills and taking in the peace, quiet and bellbird song is total relaxation. Plenty of room for 8 people with comfortable bedrooms, spacious lounge & open plan kitchen & dining area. The kids also enjoyed the board games, scooters & bikes provided. We love that it’s not too far from the wineries & Pokolbin Village area so we can go out and about during the day, then settle in back at the house for evening drinks on the verandah and later share a leisurely dinner, BBQ or nibbles platter with good company. Looking forward already to our next stay!

City dogs go to the country
We booked this property for a two night mid-week getaway with our two dogs. The fully fenced yard gave the dogs freedom to run and they loved watching the cows from the fully fenced balconies or the windows. The two humans enjoyed the fireplace, watching movies, and playing games from the great collection. This trip has left us dreaming about buying our own country place or at least booking a return trip.
