We feel so lucky to have found such a beautiful place to stay while in the Hunter for our dear friends wedding. I’m sure we would have had a great weekend sharing time as friends but Old Duninald and Chris & Julia made it simply perfect.
The house is elegant & well equipped, the surrounds so peaceful & we thoroughly enjoyed the space whether it was evening drinks outside, coffee down at the billabong or games in the sunroom.
Julia & Chris were at hand if we needed them, but left us to enjoy the space undisturbed. As mentioned we felt so lucky to have stayed here & would highly recommend.
Thanks for a serene get away in your charming country escape. You have done a wonderful job & we love your Asian inspired décor touches & the views.
Thanks for your hospitality & for providing some locally sourced products.

We had an amazing stay at Old Duninald. It is such a beautiful house, made more amazing but the gorgeous surrounds & excellent host. We are looking forward to coming back & enjoying another relaxing weekend.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of history with us! We were grateful to be able to take in the lovely view while drinking good wine, eating good food & sharing lots of laughs.
Thank you so much for the wonderful stay. We all wandered, ran & biked through the property – it was a fantastic place to base ourselves for our friends wedding.
We will definitely come again & recommend to family & friends.
Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful property for the wedding of our son at Tocal homestead. It was a perfect place for the wedding party to prepare on the day and the backdrop was perfect for photo’s.
Just perfect.
Our weekend stay here at Old Duninald has been wonderful. The perfect setting for a catch up with old school friends whilst taking in the history & beauty of this most unique rural setting. It certainly felt like a home away from home… we enjoyed everything the place had to offer. Thank you so much for having us Chris & Julia.
The location is clearly second to none. The tasteful renovation of the 1800’s home and our host were what made our stay a true delight.
Whether entertaining the family on the deck or relaxing after a big weekend, this place was perfect.
Thanks for a great weekend.
Thank you for having us. Driving up the winding driveway we began to realise we were staying amongst natural beauty. Located amongst the rolling hills & mooing cows, waking up here was a pleasure. We look forward to staying here again & pestering our friends about the experience that is Old Duninald.
Thank you for giving new life to this beautiful house. We have had such a lovely relaxed time in spite of the rain.
Thank you for the special touches that made this place so special. We loved showing Ben the oranges on the tree – he enjoyed one! We laughed when we met a neighbour from Turramurra at the summer house ( staying with Chris & Julia) We will be back.
Lovely historic cottage in a bucolic setting. Thanks.
Ideal pre wedding venue. Enjoyed the rural setting on the farm in this beautifully restored historic cottage. Hope to come back.
