The Lions Den is a modern self-contained converted shipping container studio at the rear of the property that can be rented in addition to the Lodge and Retreat giving you an 11th bedroom and 8th bathroom if required.

As you weave your way down the tree lined driveway you pass our two life-sized bronze deer that watch over this very special space. The Lodge’s interior has been modelled on a traditional Canadian hunting lodge and chalet, with the central lounge focusing on a huge stone fireplace and soaring cathedral ceilings, which brings the ambience to the rest of the lodge.

The main building features a modern semi-commercial gourmet kitchen with quality appliances including two large ovens, two dishwashers and absolutely everything you could possibly want or need to create your own Master Chef meal. The large dining area has a magnificent custom-made oversized table and offers a relaxed atmosphere where guests can dine together and enjoy the peace and serenity of this beautiful setting.

The Retreat which is adjacent to the Lodge has its own brand new kitchen and a lounge area plus an additional outside entertainment area. The Lions Den Studio is a quirky modern self-contained dwelling in a private location at the rear of the property. This unique property was specifically built for large group self- contained accommodation in the Hunter Valley.  It is perfect for groups of friends, family getaways, small weddings and corporate meetings or off-sites. You can relax on the deck in the evening and listen to the roar of the four lions, who are our newest neighbours at the Hunter Valley Zoo. Surreal!
