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.
