Great location, comfortable bed, friendly staff

Great location within walking distance to the village and gardens. Friendly staff. Big, clean room and a little patio. Paid for extras silk rose petals, bottle of wine and cheese platter on arrival just beautiful. Ordered a picnic lunch, came with a picnic blanket as well, so filling! Comfortable bed and parking right out the front of the ground floor room, a bonus. Dined at the restaurant beautiful meal, I had the duck, husband the barramundi, only had the main meal and a drink and we were full. Buffet breakfast has a great selection. Will definitely be staying here again.

Comfortable, well-located hotel in Pokolbin

Comfortable, well-located hotel in Pokolbin, ideal for exploring wineries and the Gardens. Offers pool, spa, tennis court, and on-site dining. Rooms are pretty clean though we had a slight damp smell. The staff are friendly. Great value for a convenient Hunter Valley stay.

Nice but very overpriced

I’d hardly describe the room as being “superior”. It was pretty basic/standard to be honest. Disappointing to discover the spa was out of action. I was particularly looking forward to using it during my stay. Would have been nice to know this upon booking. A nice place to stay but at $240 a night it wasn’t worth anywhere near that price.

Stayed for 4 days after saving up for a much needed work break. First day room never got cleaned so no dry towels. Went to reception and asked that evening twice and the next morning but never supplied dry towels for a shower. The next day they cleaned room and then took a whole bag of groceries worth over $50. Asked at reception said would check and call me. Never did. 3 more times of asking and denied taking. No apologies, no offer of compensation. I finally asked for a free breakfast at least that was finally agreed to. Then at breakfast on last day tried to charge me for it. The manager's attitude was quite dismissive and never once offered any appologies.
