Stayed 5 nights

Our stay was perfect in every way. We stayed over Christmas for a break from a busy year. The home had everything we needed. A well equipped and maintained property. A big tick for us was the pets policy. We always travel with our "pack" and Tara Lee did not disappoint. A secure yard is always a necessity when travelling with pets. We will be back.

Great location. Stayed with some old school friends and showed them the Hunter Valley Gardens and Xmas Lights Spectacular. We had such an amazing time. We were exhausted Saturday doing the gardens from midday and again at night. We had a sleep-in and spent Sunday visiting Sabors Desserts late in the morning then the Choclate and Fudge place next door to Sabor's. We were back at Tara Lee by 12.30 in the afternoon and just relaxed, talking and swimming in the spectacular pool. They were in awe of Tara Lee and the step back in time with beautiful furnishings etc. Congratulations to Karen and John as there was everything you could possibly need. We remembered around 6pm there was the complimentary bottle of wine and Chocolate still in the fridge. Thank you again for a wonderful stay.Cheryl and friends

From the moment we stepped into Tara lee we were all amazed at how well preserved and renovated this beautiful old house was, it welcomed us with a charm like no other holiday stay has ever done before. The wine and Chocolates on arrival was a nice touch that made us all feel very special and welcome. The magnificent large rooms accommodated all our family very well and the house was equipped with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The kids loved swimming in the beautiful in ground swimming pool as my partner and I relaxed in the comfortable chairs around the pool. Even thou it was a short stay we felt like we stayed allot longer as we we’re totally relaxed in our surroundings, we will definitely be back for a longer stay in the future and we’d recommend this holiday stay to anyone looking at visiting the beautiful wine region. Thanks Karen and John for a wonderful experience
