Autumn stays in the summerhouse

Tucked away in the serene Wollombi Valley, the summerhouse at Little Valley Farm is a handcrafted retreat where nature and comfort intertwine. Designed with a deep respect for the land, this off-grid haven embraces its surroundings with a north-facing layout, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an airy breezeway that welcomes the valley breeze.

Mornings begin with the soft hum of nature as you sip coffee on the deck, watching mist rise over the paddocks. Evenings are for unwinding with a glass of Hunter Valley wine by the pond, the sky ablaze with sunset hues. As night falls, a dazzling canopy of stars emerges—unspoiled by city lights, just as nature intended.

Here, time slows. Alpacas graze peacefully, donkeys meander along the fenceline, and native wildlife makes an appearance. Whether you seek a romantic retreat, a quiet getaway with friends, or a moment to reconnect with yourself, the summerhouse offers a sanctuary of simple pleasures, where the rhythm of farm life sets the pace.
