Kangaroos at Dusk and Dawn. The Hunter Hideaway Cottages are 3 self contained holiday cottages situated just two hours north of Sydney off a pleasant country lane in the heart of the famous Hunter Valley Wine Country, Australia's premium wine growing district. Peacefully nestled amongst tall shady gum trees, the cottages provide a private and secluded setting. Visit the many nearby wineries and attractions or just relax on the sun drenched verandas, enjoying the tranquil bushland.
