Block Eight Estate Water View Villa
THE ESTATE
Block Eight Estate is a stunning 100-acre private retreat nestled in the heart of beautiful Hunter Valley wine country. Featuring vineyards, olive groves, natural bushland and park-like grounds, the estate offers sweeping views from the Barrington Tops to the Brokenback Range. Guests can fully immerse themselves in the natural surroundings. Our exclusive guest-only Wine Room, built over a sparkling lake, provides a peaceful space to enjoy boutique wines while watching the sunset.
Block Eight Estate prioritises a tranquil and romantic atmosphere. We accommodate a maximum of ten guests at any time and maintain a strict no children policy. The estate is ideally located for exploring the region, with neighbouring Squires Vineyard and Ridgeview Cellar Door and Restaurant just a short stroll or bike ride away. Many of the Hunter Valley’s most celebrated wineries and restaurants are only a short drive away. Helicopter tours and winery experiences can also arrange pick-up directly from the estate.
The estate is home to a large family of kangaroos and wallabies, along with a diverse range of native wildlife and birdlife. Guests can also enjoy visiting and interacting with our rescue dogs in the dedicated “Puppy House.” Feed the ducks, collect fresh farm eggs from our friendly chooks, or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful rural setting.
Relax in one of our luxury villas featuring hotel-quality linen, plush towels and high-end toiletries. Villas are well stocked, including our own award-winning olive oil. All guests receive a complimentary bottle of estate wine on arrival, along with a welcome gift.
