Welcome to The Estate @ The Charles at Broke

Set across four private acres with uninterrupted views of vineyard-striped hills,  The Estate @ The Charles at Broke brings two beautifully complementary dwellings together, The House and The Barn, to create one generous private luxury retreat in the heart of Hunter Valley wine country. Whether you’re planning a wedding-weekend base, a milestone gathering, or a long-awaited family reunion, the Estate is designed for connection and comfort, sunset wines on the veranda, shared feasts that run long into the evening, and quiet, early-morning moments as kookaburras announce the day.

Morning to night, perfectly paced

Start the day with first light over the vines and a quiet espresso on the veranda. Midday might be a long table lunch that flows into card games and an unhurried nap. As evening falls, the barbecue takes over, the firepit crackles (winter months), and the Milky Way reveals itself in a sky that feels close enough to touch.

Perfect for Every Occasion

• Wedding accommodation (Hunter Valley) — the House is ideal for bridal parties or guests, with beautiful getting-ready spaces, generous light for photos, and multiple lounges that keep hair, makeup, and relaxation happily separate.

• Family retreats — reconnect with space and comfort for all; let grandparents settle into a veranda nook while kids invent games on the lawn.

• Group getaways — pair wine tours with lingering dinners, celebrate milestones, or base yourself here for a concert weekend.

• Couples or friends seeking a luxury country escape — spread out, slow down, and savour the vineyard rhythm.

Why Guests Love The Charles

Guests describe The House @ The Charles at  Broke as “spacious, elegant, and perfectly located.” From cooking in the chef’s kitchen to stargazing on the verandas, every stay is infused with comfort, warmth, and the magic of the Hunter Valley.

Day into night, naturally

After a day exploring Broke Fordwich, the spa beckons. Step into the spa, and enjoy the warm water as dusk sets the vineyards aglow. Dry off by the firepit, watch the constellations sharpen, and refill glasses between stories. When the chill arrives, move inside to the wood fireplace and stretch out across deep sofas.

Flow that makes sense for groups

Picture a wedding weekend: florals and preparations unfold in the House’s generous living spaces while the Barn keeps the other half of the group relaxed and unhurried, morning spa soaks, playlists low, a second kitchen turning out canapés. Photographers move between both dwellings in minutes, capturing those small, real moments that define the day.

For family reunions, the Barn’s two lounges give teens and kids a space to spread out while the House’s dining table hosts slow, multi‑course dinners that don’t require anyone to “eat early” or shift to the sofa before they’re ready. Breakfast can be casual pastries and fruit laid out in both kitchens, so people emerge as they wake. By afternoon, you’ll reconvene for a vineyard‑side adventure and let the evening choose its own pace.

Space to celebrate, space to breathe

Outdoors, alfresco zones at both homes give you a choice of moods: long table lunches on the House veranda; sunset cocktails followed by a spa session at the Barn; a winter‑evening firepit in either space (seasonal) that coaxes the group into a constellation‑watching hush. The three‑acre setting means you’re never competing for a corner; there’s always a quiet seat, always a sun‑warmed step to pause on.

Thoughtful details that add up

• Two fully equipped kitchens mean coffee is always close and food prep is never crowded.

• Separate lounge rooms multiply your options: movie night for some, music and conversation for others.

• Five bathrooms across the Estate simplify morning routines for large groups.

• On‑site parking removes logistics from the equation; Wi‑Fi keeps plans (and playlists) flowing.

• Bedrooms are distributed to balance early risers and late‑night storytellers.

Book Your Stay

Reserve The House & The Barn together for the full Estate experience, or choose the dwelling that fits your group best. Either way, you’ll have a peaceful base with thoughtful comforts, beautiful light, and room to gather in style right in the heart of Hunter Valley wine country.
