Billabong Cottage
Billabong Cottage at Sweetacres (formerly Billabong Moon) offers so much peace, relaxation, and enjoyment for guests onsite as well as being ideally located to take advantage for many cellar doors, restaurants, attractions, and activities within moments of your cottage.
Billabong Cottage is perfect for up to four guests and is exclusively positioned on the edge of the Sweetacres’ stunning natural billabong. Surrounded by casuarina woodlands, your days will be spent enjoying this idyllic location watching the ever-changing view of the billabong as it reflects the sky. The cottage features two well-appointed ensuite rooms with fans, a fully self-contained kitchen, air-conditioned open-plan sitting room with a cosy combustion wood fire. The extensive entertainment sun deck reaches out into the billabong and makes you feel like your cottage is floating. Teaming with birds, natural wildlife, and fish, it the perfect spot for a BBQ lunch, or a lazy afternoon in the sun. Guests are welcome to throw in a line or go for a relaxing row in the billabong boat and float away.
Moments away from Billabong Cottage, sample the delights of Hermitage Road and dine at Botanica, and Piggs Peake. Sample excellent food and brew at The Farm where you can horse ride, take a Segway tour, or meet the animals! Enjoy terrific hospitality whilst wine-tasting at neighbouring Hunter Wine Lab, Wombat Crossing, Thomas Wines, Ironbark Hill Brewhouse, Keith Tulloch or Tintilla. Wedding guests will love being only moments from signature reception venues including Enzo, The White Barn and Greystone Estate. Sweetacres is only 7 minutes’ drive to the Hunter Valley Gardens, The Vintage Golf Course, Roche, and Hope Estates as well as all food and wine delights of Hermitage, Broke and Deasys Roads.
For the active at heart, take a bush walk around Sweetacres’ walking tracks past the billabong and the casuarina woodlands or, wander across the lawn to enjoy The Deck leisure area or a dip in the refreshing shared Guest saltwater pool. You may also like to hire a bike and take the Hermitage Road cycle track to explore the best this destination has on offer.
