We stayed at Dell-Lee on a cold winters night in JuIy. The air-conditioning was very welcome and warmed the house up nicely. Dell-Lee is beautifully clean and organised and felt a bit like being in a good hotel - only better. The beds are comfortable, with beautifully linen, and the lounge and recliners were easy to relax in.
The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, crockery and cutlery, lots of different teas, and fresh coffee for the plunger. The bottle of wine was a nice touch.
Broke is a great location for visiting the vineyards of the Hunter Valley - much better than being in busy Pokolbin. Broke has many nice wineries of its own - we particularly recommend a visit to Ascella Wines at Milbrodale and lunch at Two Fat Blokes on Broke Road just as you drive out of Pokolbin towards Broke.
The owners allowed us to bring our dog and she was well catered for. The back yard is completely enclosed and secure and a big bowl of water was waiting for her on our arrival.
I can highly recommend Dell-Lee Cottage as a quiet alternative location to stay when visiting the Hunter Valley.
