All was wonderful except the non flexible check in. We had an event to get to and even though the host was on site for an hour prior to our check-in time they wouldn’t let us in until 1pm sharp which was when our event started. Otherwise a beautiful location with kangaroos visiting near our verandah.

Lovely weekend at the wineries!

My husband and I had an absolutely lovely stay at Unlax. Such a peaceful setting, small number of cabins, kangaroos wandering into view of an evening and the birdlife was lovely too. Hospitality inside the cabins was the best I have ever experienced. Very generous meal provisions provided - more than we could eat - and the bed was very comfortable. Location right in the heart of several wineries within walking distance. Will definitely recommend and come again. Thanks so much for making our stay so relaxing and enjoyable.

Escape the city

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at Unlax. The standalone cottages are in a great location and perfect to escape the city and spend some time in nature. They are basic but all the essentials are there and the fireplace was wonderful on the cold winter nights (heating was also available). The cabin was also spotlessly clean and well presented. The only minor gripe we had was that the queen bed, while okay, was not the most comfortable and a little firm for us (but everyone’s preference for beds is different). Steve and Nat were wonderful hosts and we were greeted with a newly lit fire, a glass of sparkling and cheeseboard on arrival which was a nice touch. They also provided the basics for a fry breakfast or cereal. We had a fantastic stay and we would definitely try Unlax again on our next trip to the Hunter.

We stayed in their budget luxury accommodation for our mini-honeymoon just after our wedding. We loved the fact they waited for our arrival, to give us a glass of wine and a tour of the property to let us know where everything was. Only downside to the property really was there were only two towels. But a quick phone call would solve the problem. We loved the spa bath, and loved the little visit from their pup Lexi, her excited face made our afternoon amazing. Overall it was a wonderful week away from home, and loved the wonderful personalities of the husband and wife couple that run the property, and we want you to know how much we appreciated everything you did for us throughout this time.

Lovely, albeit a little chilly in winter

Really pleasant stay. Quite difficult to find the reception in the dark on arrival. Room was very cold, although the do have electric blankets which make it a bit better! Very good complimentary food package and good facilities in the house. Overall a lovely stay and great location for wine tours etc.

We drove from Sydney & my family (that live locally) met us when we checked into cabin & were waiting for us to get changed to go to an event (in 1/2 hour) at a nearby winery. The person who met us advised that if they waited at cabin, they had to pay $100 to be on the property. Very unwelcoming, especially as cost us almost $600 for one night. Also, no vegetarian/ vegan option for breakfast, no wood for fire, no-one at checkout in the morning - overall very poor service.

Property was lovely, beds clean and very comfortable. Only down side was a two bedroom cost us $530 for the night and a friends Air B&B fell through, Unlax said they accept extras for a ‘fee’ which we were honest about at checkin, the fee which isn’t mentioned in the email turns out to be $100 per person! An uncomfortable roll away bed was offered but the lounge had more padding. We found the ‘fee’ was very excessive given what was offered.

Unlax was a lovely place to stay, very peaceful. The yurt was very comfortable, with everything you could want. Loved the breakfast hamper, very special touch. Very relaxing sitting out on the verandah with a wine and cheese platter. Very central to everything, we had a lovely 4 day break. Only complaint would be the very hard pillows and soft bed, we bought new pillows, lucky we needed some at home.

Repeat visit

Having stayed before with friends we were both looking forward to revisiting the facility. Seems to me that an excellent venue is slightly let down by a couple of things. One is the advertised complimentary breakfast, a loaf of frozen bread, six eggs and a container of orange juice does not constitute a breakfast! Other facilities in the region of a similar nature offer a much better selection. Secondly, the bathroom selection is very poor, no hair washing or body wash products available, again other similar venues offer much more. On a positive note the location is fairly central to all the Hunter has to offer and is in close proximity to everything. A very good winery is just at the entrance of the property and is highly recommended. Would we stay there again, absolutely, the property is very relaxing and has that rustic Hunter Valley experience, lots of bushland and native wildlife however next time, and there will be a next time, we would bring a lot more supplies. Even with some shortfalls the property is highly recommended. Cheers, Mike and Pam.

Best of both worlds

A quiet cottage stay that feels like you are in the middle of nowhere yet reality is that you are only 5mins drive from places like Roche Estate, Hope Estate, Pokolbin Village, Hunter Valley Gardens etc. Cottage was well equipped and spacious, we stayed as 2 couples and had plenty of personal space. BBQ was great for breakfast on the verandah, and the fireplace at night was a welcoming touch (there is air conditioning for those not wanting to use the fire). Breakfast provided was 1 dozen eggs, juice, milk, tea/coffee, bread (in freezer) plus condiments, and cereals.
