The caravan
A restored retro caravan that is your bedroom for the stay: double bed, electric blankets, hangers and reverse cycle air conditioning, plus a little dinette table to sit at and a small sink. It's the charm; the pavilion beside it does the rest.

The pavilion
A covered, semi-enclosed deck with blinds, a few steps from the van, with a ceiling fan for summer and a heater for winter. Kitchen with a portable induction cooktop, fridge and freezer, toaster, kettle and coffee maker, with coffee, tea, salt, pepper and oil provided, plus wine glasses for the local bottles. Two lounge chairs, a dining table and wifi. Bathroom with a hot shower, eco-composting toilet, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner and body soap.

Outside
An electric two-person bath under the sky, pre-heated and ready to go when you arrive, and a barbecue with utensils. The fire pit is seasonal and may be closed over the warmer months. Beyond that, the paddocks and the farm. You're welcome to wander. Cattle numbers vary through the year, and our border collies are usually about somewhere.

Guest access
The caravan, pavilion, bath and fire pit are yours alone. Parking is on-site beside the van. Self check-in via lockbox, with the code sent to you on the morning of arrival. Check-in from 3pm, check-out by 11am.

Good to know
Adults only: no children or infants, as this is a working farm with electric fences and the occasional wombat hole. No pets. No smoking or vaping in the caravan or pavilion. You're in the country, so expect birdsong, the odd distant tractor and, as with any outdoor stay, insects and small creatures. Insect repellent is provided, and we have electric snake repellers installed, but please take care in long grass. Quiet hours are 10pm to 6am.

Hosts
Bernadette and Max live in the homestead about 300 metres from the caravan. You're unlikely to see them unless you want to, but they're close by if you need anything.

Guests have exclusive access to the caravan, the pavilion semi-enclosed kitchen, lounge and bathroom, heated outdoor bath and fire pit. You’re also welcome to explore the surrounding area. Parking is available on-site.

We respect your privacy but are available if needed. If you have any questions before or during your stay, feel free to reach out.

Broke is a small rural village on the quieter western side of the Hunter Valley, in the Broke Fordwich wine region. Boutique cellar doors and family-run vineyards are dotted along Broke Road and the local lanes, with Margan, Winmark and Krinklewood all a few minutes away, alongside olive groves and country restaurants. Yellow Rock's sandstone cliffs dominate the view to the south, with the Brokenback Range to the west. The roads are low-traffic, the paddocks have cattle in them, and the vibe is tranquil and pastoral rather than town-centre nightlife. Pokolbin's larger cellar doors and restaurants are an easy drive when you want them.

Driving is the primary and most convenient way to get around. Parking is widely available at cellar doors and private properties. Nearest major regional centres for services: Singleton (~25–30 km), Pokolbin/Warkworth/Hunter Valley attractions (~25–40 km), Cessnock (~35–45 km). Public transport is limited: there is no local train in Broke; NSW TrainLink services run to Singleton (Main Northern line) and buses or taxis are needed from there. Regional bus services are infrequent; visitors commonly use private car, hire car, or organised wine tours/chartered transfers. Taxi and rideshare availability is limited and may require pre-booking.

A few honest things worth knowing before you book:

The last stretch of road in is dirt. It's fine in any car, no 4WD needed.
The caravan is the bedroom and the pavilion beside it is a semi-enclosed deck: covered, with blinds, but open to the air. Expect birdsong, wildlife and occasional farming activity on nearby properties, and a composting toilet.
The fire pit is seasonal and is closed over the warmer months. We'll confirm availability for your dates when you book.
This is a working cattle farm, so there are cattle, farm machinery, working dogs, electric fences and the occasional bit of dust and weather. That's the point of the place, but it's worth saying.
We provide insect repellent and have electric snake repellers installed, but please take care when walking in long grass.
Adults only. No children or infants.
No pets. It's a working cattle farm with working dogs.
The site is on uneven ground with steps into the caravan, and it is not wheelchair accessible. If you have specific access needs, contact us before booking and we'll give you an honest picture.
There are no laundry facilities.
Wi-Fi is free and works, but the night sky is worth switching off for.
Minimum stay is two nights. Long weekends and holiday periods can carry a three-night minimum.
