Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were in good condition overall, providing a pleasant weekend stay for guests planning a surprise party. However, there was an issue with the room keys being coded incorrectly for room 510, needing a revamp to enhance the overall appearance with a fresh coat of paint.
The hotel's location in the heart of the Hunter Valley is fantastic, offering beautiful natural surroundings. The rooms, while a bit tired and in need of an update, are spacious and comfortable. The service, beyond expectation in terms of cleanliness and friendliness, could be more attentive to guest needs. The dining experience, with delicious options like button mushrooms and roast tomato with feta, is a highlight despite a camp food hall ambiance. The hotel's facilities are decent, with lovely grounds but some areas need improvement.
The hotel is nestled right in the heart of Hunter Valley, just a couple of minutes away from the Hunter Valley Gardens, offering a fantastic location for exploring the area. The rooms needed a bit of an update, with some maintenance required, but having a balcony and a large bathroom added to the features of the stay. The dining experience was delicious with a great variety of food, although some improvements could be made in the food selection. The service was top-notch, with staff being highly trained, professional, and accommodating, even catering to dietary needs. Overall, the location and service stand out as the highlights of the stay while room maintenance could be improved, and the food selection could be enhanced.
The hotel's location offers a mix of luck with room proximity, close to vineyards and cafes. The rooms are comfortable and clean, but the dining experience can be disappointing at times. The staff is friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall stay with amazing service.
The hotel rooms were spacious and great value for money, offering a peaceful stay at the edge of the golf course where the mowers started early. While not as clean as expected, the ability to separate from guests was a plus.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were really spacious and had a large kitchen, which was a plus, but the lack of cleanliness was a major downside. The service from the cleaning staff was nice and helpful, but customer service overall needed improvement. The location was functional and offered great amenities, though the shortage of loungers was a drawback. The dining experience was ordinary and needs improvement, especially for the price paid. The facilities were overall satisfactory but could use some enhancements.
The hotel fell short of my expectations for an almost 5-star accommodation given the high price paid. The rooms were a little dirty and not well maintained, and the check-in process was disorganized due to clueless staff at reception. However, the location was great for a peaceful getaway, surrounded by nature in the heart of Hunter Valley with beautiful wineries. The dining experience lacked variety but offered a decent selection. Overall, a mixed experience with both positives and negatives.
The hotel is tucked amidst bushland, offering a peaceful and private stay close to wineries and the Hunter Valley Gardens. The rooms are spacious, private, and very comfortable, although some facilities are limited with signs of wear and tear. The service is pleasant and welcoming, though maintenance could be more proactive. The location is perfect for a quiet getaway, surrounded by nature but lacking kid-friendly amenities. The dining experience may fall short in options and planning, with additional charges. The facilities offer a serene retreat with room for improvement.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were exceptionally clean and well-equipped, offering great value for money. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff. The location was perfect, right in the center and close to wineries, making it a great base for exploring the Hunter Valley. The dining experience was enjoyable, with plenty of options available. Overall, a fantastic choice for a relaxing getaway.
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms in need of a refresh but provides a great value for the stay. The staff delivers mixed service with friendliness but some unhelpful instances. The location is central to attractions but lacks cleanliness in certain areas. The dining experience is good with room for improvement in breakfast options.
The hotel offers a warm and cozy stay with beautifully renovated rooms perfect for a family of 4. It's conveniently located near amenities but may have service issues. The location is ideal for exploring nearby vineyards, but the dining experience falls short.
The hotel is set up with round tables, good sound, and projectors in the main living area; however, it was filthy when I arrived, and I had to spend an hour cleaning to make it reasonably comfortable. The staff, although spacious and comfortable, were not very friendly and took a week to respond to my inquiries, displaying disinterest bordering on indolence. An improvement in autonomy for them regarding activities might benefit the overall service.
