"We got back last night after a wonderful holiday in Sydney. I specially loved your place with the open fires and the country environment which brought back a lot of memories of the 19 years I spent studying and working in England. Would have loved it more if it was spring/summer as I really wanted to see produce growing. Anyway, I did have some nice pics of the orange and lemons trees in your place. many thanks to you and your hubby for all the help extended to us ......"

September 2011

"We had to leave quickly on Sunday to get back for Father's Day lunch so we didn't get the chance to adequately express how much we enjoyed i villini. Other than go out for dinner Saturday night I never left the house .... the others were equally captured ... we have had many visits to the Hunter. The accommodation and atmosphere of i villini is far superior to anywhere we have stayed before. Cheryle and I both agree future visits will be scheduled around the availability of the house"
