Winmark Residence
Winmark Residence Hunter Valley accommodation is at the heart of this impressive estate. Every aspect of this grand house is designed to provide luxury and comfort, for an indulgent weekend getaway or executive rental.
Owner Karin Adcock’s love of interiors and travel is represented into every corner of the estate. Asian antiquities sit beside Aboriginal artwork along with indigineous African artefacts. Every item, from the aromatherapy toiletries and luxury towels to the Wedgewood crockery and plush lounges, chairs and beds, have been selected to welcome guests in comfort and welcome.
The ‘Africa Room’, with its tribal drums and skins and vineyard memorabilia, is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors to showcase the panoramic views of the vineyard and distant mountains, and can be opened up in summer or comfortably enjoyed, in the depths of winter thanks to our insulative glass windows that keep the warmth in, but still allow amazing views of the surrounds.
The intricate stonework in the indoor and outdoor fireplaces is aesthetically beautiful and truly adds to the ambience of the room. The outdoor alfresco area is enclosed by wisteria that entwine the pergola and a view of the vines, gardens, private pool and private tennis court in this stunning hunter valley accommodation.
An open-plan living space incorporates two generous lounge areas, a dining room and executive kitchen. Unlike many other hunter valley accommodation estates, Winmark Wines offers four bedrooms, all with en-suites plus a powder room and can sleep eight.
Due to the nature of the property and open dams, children under the age of 8 are not recommended at the winery accommodation.
