'Tara-Lee' is a beautiful, historic home and walking through its front door is truly a unique step back in time experience. Built in 1910, it is a magnificent example of Australian Federation architecture. Beautifully restored, it boasts traditional elegance and original features alongside contemporary living conveniences. It is the perfect location for your Hunter Valley get-away. It is close to concert venues, wineries and the Hunter Valley Gardens. This superior property is conveniently located on Convent Hill and within very close walking distance to the Cessnock town centre. 'Tara-Lee' is ideal for 1 to 9 guests for short or long stays. Enjoy its private and quiet garden, BBQ, verandas and in-ground salt water pool while outside and enjoy its fireplace, large, well-equipped kitchen, smart TV with surround sound and beautiful decor while inside. The property is fully fenced and pet-friendly. Guests receive a complimentary bottle of local wine and chocolates on arrival. We know you will enjoy your stay at this stunning home.
We have been hosting since 2013. We absolutely adore this property and have a keen interest in its history (some of which you can read about in the 'Tara-Lee' Information Book), its restoration and upkeep.
