Parsons Paddock Guest House

Treat yourself to a peaceful escape at Parsons Paddock — a beautifully appointed, self-contained guest house in the heart of Mandalong, just a short drive from the Hunter Valley and Lake Macquarie. Unwind in the outdoor spa, soak in golden sunsets by your private fire pit, and wake to the sounds of kookaburras in the gum trees. Say hello to our gentle horses, and meet our beloved Babydoll sheep — with gorgeous lambs arriving each spring. The space With all the comforts of home and thoughtful touches throughout, you’ll find everything you need for a relaxing stay — including a fully equipped kitchen to cook up your favourite meals, a stylish bathroom with quality linens, a cosy lounge and perfectly positioned hammock perfect for curling up with a book or movie, and a spacious undercover outdoor area for alfresco dining or simply enjoying the view. Whether you’re soaking in the spa, toasting marshmallows by the fire pit, or enjoying the peaceful sounds of nature, Parsons Paddock offers the perfect space to slow down, reconnect, and truly savour the charm of country life. Guest access Guests are welcome to explore the property, but we kindly ask that you do not enter any animal yards. Patting the farm animals is at your own risk. As a working farm, you may see us doing maintenance or hear machinery, though we do our best to keep disruptions to a minimum during your stay. Please be mindful that most fences on the property are electrified—avoid leaning on them for your safety. Other things to note While there are plenty of takeaway options nearby, only a few offer delivery to the property. To ensure you have everything you need, please bring your own food and drinks. Being in a rural setting, you’ll likely encounter local wildlife during your stay—including the occasional spider! As a working farm nestled in the countryside, Wi-Fi is available but can sometimes be a little temperamental — country life keeps us grounded (and occasionally offline!). Take it as a chance to unwind, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the slower rhythm of life at Parsons Paddock. 🌿✨ Registration Details PID-STRA-57709
