About Hunter Holidays
Your Home. Our Expertise. Guests Who Keep Coming Back.
For more than 12 years, Hunter Holidays has set the standard for luxury short-term rental management across the Hunter Valley, Newcastle, and Lake Macquarie regions.
Born from a deep love for the region and a belief that every stay should be effortless and memorable, our boutique team blends local expertise, technology-driven precision, and genuine care to create experiences that feel like home — elevated.
Whether you’re a guest seeking the perfect vineyard escape or a property owner looking to unlock your home’s full earning potential, we deliver the same promise: five-star service, transparent communication, and results that speak for themselves.
Our Story
Hunter Holidays began with a simple vision — to bring boutique service and trust back into an industry that often felt impersonal.
Over a decade later, that same vision drives everything we do.
What started as a small family operation managing a handful of Hunter Valley homes has grown into one of the region’s most trusted and respected names in premium property management.
Today, our curated collection of luxury homes, estates, and villas represents the very best of Hunter Valley living — refined, warm, and uniquely local.
Every property in our portfolio is hand-selected, styled, and cared for by our local team, ensuring a consistent experience for guests and reliable peace of mind for owners.

Meet the Team Behind the Experience
Our team is the heart of Hunter Holidays — passionate locals who know that exceptional hospitality comes from connection.

What Makes Us Different
Data Meets Hospitality
While many managers focus solely on bookings, we combine data intelligence with hospitality excellence. Our proprietary dynamic pricing technology and multi-channel strategy (Airbnb, Booking.com, Stayz, Google Travel, and our direct platform) help owners consistently achieve 20–30% higher annual income than traditional static pricing models.
Curated Luxury
Every property in our portfolio is more than a listing — it’s an experience. We personally inspect, style, and photograph each home to meet our luxury criteria of comfort, cleanliness, and charm.
Transparency & Trust
Owners enjoy 24/7 access to live dashboards tracking bookings, income, and guest reviews. There are no hidden fees, no surprises — just performance, clarity, and partnership.
Guest Care That Feels Personal
From wine tours and helicopter flights to spa retreats and special-event packages, every guest journey is custom-curated by our concierge team. That’s why our reviews consistently highlight our warmth, responsiveness, and local knowledge.
The Results Speak for Themselves
Over the years, our tailored strategies and proactive care have transformed dozens of properties and owner relationships:
- 41% income uplift within six months for one property using our dynamic pricing and multi-channel marketing.
- $35,000 annual increase for “Hunter Manor” after a full repositioning project.
- Countless five-star guest reviews — each one a testament to the seamless balance between professionalism and personal touch.

“We achieved more income in six months than we did in the entire previous year. Transparent reporting, no hidden fees, and the peace of mind we’d been missing.” — Owner Partner, Lake Macquarie
