2 Bedroom Cottage in Cessnock

**Please note that booking for 2 people implies that only 1 bedroom will be required, you need to book for 3 people and therefore pay a small additional nightly charge for access to the 2nd bedroom.
Originally an old miner's cottage, Schatzi's on Shalimah is a fully renovated two bedroom cottage. It is set up as a quiet couple's weekender however the second bedroom can be made available at a small extra cost for a small group seeking a Hunter getaway.
The large yard is fully enclosed with lovely lawns and shading trees for both pets and owners to while away their time when not busy sampling the wares of the many nearby wineries. A newly installed deck offers additional living space and a lovely spot to relax with a beverage of choice. The backyard has fencing ranging from 150-180cm high. We have made it as dog-proof as possible but if your dog is a determined digger or jumper this may not necessarily hold them.
Inside
The cottage has all the mod cons including luxuriously appointed bathroom with heating and spa bath and includes a European laundry. The kitchen is well fitted out and includes fridge, microwave, electric oven, gas cooktop and even an espresso machine! Coffee plunger, other electrical items and a variety of quality pots, pans and utensils sets you up for a stay of any length.
In the evening the lounge is a cosy space with reverse cycle air con, large LCD TV, DVD player and CD player. Open the blinds and the 4m sliding doors open up a whole new space and vista with a large deck barbeque and dining setting complete with swing seats for a quirky taste of the Caribbean.
Both rentable bedrooms (there's a 3rd bedroom which is not accessible to guests) have queen beds, wardrobes/storage space and reverse-cycle air con as well as pedestal fans for simple air-flow.
Pets
Well behaved pets are most welcome both in the large yard and also in the house. There is no limit on size or number however all pet parents are expected to pick up all faeces from the yard and to ensure that pets don't toilet in the house. Pets must be supervised at all times (even if you bring Dogga's own bed, being left in a strange house is very stressful) or they can be left in the yard or within the Doggy Space. This space is the bathroom us the Small hall space outside of the bathroom. When at home with your pets, please ensure that the throws provided are used to protect the furniture. All dogs will want to 'plump up the couch's by scratching at it and it's your job to ensure that they don't. Having Dogga Parents who are thoughtful and respectful enables us to continue to have pets in the cottage with their family
Location
A lovely park is just a minute's walk away with Vincent Street (the hub of the town) within 5 minutes walk. Here you can enjoy breakfast or just a coffee at one of the many dog friendly cafes. A range of pubs and restaurants, also in walking distance, have a fabulous array of food with some venues also offering music on weekends. East Cessnock Bowling Club is literally at the end of the street but with surprisingly little impact on guests at Schatzi's. Walks around the area are peaceful and pretty, even though in town we have fields very close by where Kangaroos can often be seen, especially in the warmer months.
The neighbourhood
Our neighbours have been there long before we bought our lovely cottage and they are lovely, friendly and helpful but will be respectful of your space and privacy.

Reviews

Justine H. Jun 25, 2025 05:50:20 AM

Summary: It was very nice and the big back yard was great for our dog but the house itself is not insulated and even with all the air conditioners on I had to wear more clothes inside rather than outside.

Sandy G. May 9, 2025 03:47:05 AM

Summary: Beautiful little cottage close to all amenities property needs to be aired out prior to arrival as it had a damp smell smelt like the house hadn’t been opened for a very long time. Sheets and marks on them I’m hoping they were stained but it was very offputting to have sheets that looked dirty on my bed. Otherwise it was an amazing stay. Loved the table outside with the swing chairs loved the location and loved the aesthetics.

Jocelyn May 4, 2025 04:58:52 PM

Summary: Advertised as a 2 b/r house but hidden in the little print you only rent 1 room for advertised price and have to pay additional fee for access to 2nd b/r. Arrived after long trip to discover access to only one room. Then to discover there was no milk available for a cuppa.

Miriam H. Feb 17, 2025 10:34:49 AM

Summary: Wonderful and convenient location for us and our dog and property well appointed. Disappointed with the state of the back yard as somewhat overgrown. As was the front.

Lindy S. Feb 9, 2025 05:42:04 AM

Summary: Great location .Easy drive to wineries , walking distance to town and eateries

Tania P. Jan 6, 2025 06:01:57 AM

Summary: The property was exactly as described, well appointed and most importantly was truly dog friendly. A lot of places say they are dog friendly, but they usually have loads of rules and restrictions! However I’d like to thank the owners for making not only us but our dog feel at home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was a perfect base to explore the Hunter Valley region.

Robert R. Dec 2, 2024 04:36:57 PM

Summary: I was very impressed with the cottage. It was impeccably tidy and had everything that I required. Even though I was only there for two nights I felt as though I had a lovely little holiday there.

Genevieve C. Nov 27, 2024 12:20:52 PM

Summary: Ok

Caileigh A. Nov 24, 2024 07:09:13 PM

Summary: Lovely little house, not only beautiful but comfortable living, great for groups/ family holidays, the kitchen has everything you need to enjoy a night after exploring the hunter valley and the main bedroom is oh so comfy. Backyard is large and lovely to take a little stroll in and plenty of birdlife to watch from the swing chair table on the back porch. Simply lovely!

Victoria W. Oct 20, 2024 03:05:43 PM

Summary: We have stayed a few times before and always have a great time, and our dog, echo, always feels at home
