One more night

Minna liked Hunter Valley so much that she insisted to stay one more night. But she also insisted that we shouldn't stay in a standard hotel but we should have something special. We drove back to the Hunter Valley information center and asked about accommodation. They had a bulletin board for last minute accommodation deals and we decided to book a cottage from Cedar Creek Cottages and Stonehurst Wines. It was even recommended by the Lonely Planet guides. It was actually quite far from Cessnock so we decided to use the BBQ amenities at the cottage. We bought some chicken kebabs and wine and set up the grill.As we had not had new years sparkling wine yet, we tried the Stonehurst wine from the minibar of the cottage. We stayed in the Gardeners cottage which was one of the three cottages by the patch of Shiraz grapes. I have to say that it was one of the best accommodations I have stayed in. Excellent breakfast was included and some port wine for the evening. There were a lot of spiders and their webs in the garden but luckily Kia noticed the big one on the porch only after we had slept the night. She wouldn't have slept at all if she'd knew that there was a spider on the porch as well. Neither she liked the bug. We asked if we could stay for one more night in the cottage, but it was alredy booked for someone else for the next night.
