Rooms are a bit tired looking but extremely comfortable and clean. We skipped breakfast but enjoyed the delicious $95pp 3 course evening meal. The hotel grounds are lovely. There's also a great Irish bar, Harrigans about 1km down the street. I can't wait to return.

The hotel was great, rooms very large and very clean with plenty of free parking next to your room. Buffet breakfast was good but busy so sometimes a wait for the trays to be replenished. Pool was a fair size with a free sauna with showers on the side. Very large Irish bar just 5 minutes away that has music and great food.

Room was very large and clean with a small terrace and packing outsude the room. The bed was large and confortable. The pool area was nice with some loungers around the pool as well as tables and chairs in the shade. The location was great to walk to a few different vibeyards and there was a small set of shops and coffee places. The gym was a bit disappointing wirh only fans and no a/c so it was a bit uncomfortable for excercising. I would recommend this hotel for a great location if you want to see the Hunter Valley and not drive everwhere

The rooms were spacious and practical, like all hotels it could do with more accessible power outlets near the bed, bathroom was clean, great shower. I’d suggest a door mat per room as I felt bad walking in with dirty shoes after the rain even after doing my best to clean them before entering. Staff were super friendly. Buffet breakfast was standard, nothing special, nothing wrong.

Rooms are very outdated (well ours was) the grounds in general pretty untidy / lots of cobwebs around and just a general untidy feel. We were a nice easy walk to the gardens though which is what we wanted. Restaurant quite expensive for the pretty basic accommodation.
