Quality linen is provided for guests` comfort. Additionally, guests can enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi and streaming-enabled TVs.

The Homestead is free standing, self contained house. There is a large area around to kick a ball, go on a nature walk to see kangaroos, rabbits and lots of bird life. You can see the horses agisting in the paddock next to The Homestead.
There are also seats on the dam which are lovely to sit on as you watch the sunset.

Madigan is a self-check-in property with a check-in time after 3pm. After booking, details of the check-in process will be sent to you. We always strive to accommodate early check-in and late check-out requests, so please inform us if you plan to arrive earlier than the set check-in time.

You`ll need a car to get around Hunter Valley, however, there are small bus operators that service the wine region and are happy to drop into Madigan to pick you up

There is lots of land to walk, ride or just sit on your verandah or the dam wall to read a book or watch the sunset.
