Very Good

A fantastic location with plenty of activities to keep kids, young and old, occupied. The staff are excellent, really welcoming and make you feel right at home. The view from 4 pines is amazing and definitely a must do for dinner and sunset! The rooms are very spacious and clean, if a little tired but it adds to the rustic charm. Parking is plentiful. Wish I had stayed longer!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was clean and tidy. We paid luxury price and it did not deliver. The grounds were stunning but you can appreciate them from the Brewery for free. To stay there, it was not worth the price. Friendly staff, clean room, not luxury.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, the restaurant was excellent for breakfast wide range with great coffee. Outlook just beautiful to sit and have a wine on the patio. The venue is close to lots of wineries so a great place to base yourself and explore the Hunter Vally

Overnight
One night stay, so didn't really get a chance to experience all on offer.
was good to have pub a very short walk for a good meal.
Wifi needs to be improved, hand soap is too high for the bathroom sink, dish soap should be available if dishes are provided so they could be washed and reused. Bed was comfortable.

Had service problem at our first and only dinner, reported this to the Proprietor in person hoping the problem could be solved within. I understand staff shortages etc., just needed to let management know they had a problem.
We stayed one night in the Spa Cottage for a Wedding nearby. It was spacious & clean. Very quiet & reception was very welcoming & accommodating. Would definately stay here again.
Great spot with friendly service. Highly recommended

Tough check in great stay
Good family facility well appointed room, farm for kids, lawn games, great food coffee beverage and lovely staff. Beware check in if you do not have a physical plastic card (it’s 2024 resort!). We didn’t. Had paid in full upfront. Don’t accept digital cards, wouldn’t put deposit on card, wanted cash! Was 30 mins of ringing banks and credit card company to get full card number before we could check in. Not ideal after a road trip with a 1 and 3 year old. Thought at one point we would have to go home even though as I said before we had paid up front in full. At least tell guests in advance you want an actual card or cash and that you don’t accept tap and go!
