The Kookaburra Cottage
Whether you’re after a romantic weekend away, an escape with friends or catching one of the many concerts the Hunter Valley is now famous for, Madigan has a cottage to suit.
The Kookaburra is our favourite cottage, it has the best view of all. Sitting on the veranda cooking a BBQ and watching the sun go down over the fields is a perfect way to spend a late afternoon.
The Kookaburra Cottage is well-suited for a couple or a couple with children. In addition to the Queen-sized bedroom and a bedroom with 2 single beds, the cottage features a well-equipped kitchen, a cosy lounge, and a bathroom with a two-person spa.
Quality linen and towels are provided, and the kitchen is fully stocked for cooking. Guests will also find a gas BBQ on the veranda. Simply bring your food and drinks, and you're all set.
Room Configurations:
Bedroom 1: Queen Bed
Bedroom 2: Two Single Beds
Kookaburra is free standing, self contained cottage.

There is plenty of open land for walking, biking, or simply relaxing on the verandah (or at the cellar door located on our property) to enjoy the tranquility and beautiful sunsets.
