I enjoyed my time at Hermitage! It was well-located, had ample parking, and friendly staff. The structure is a bit older so the entrance to my room had sliding doors that did not shut all the way so I had to wedge the blinds in to the gap so that no bugs would come in. In addition, the front door was a sliding door with a big window, and so in order to have privacy, the blinds had to be fully closed, but then there was no natural light in the unit.

Excellent stay, we had room 10 which was suitable for 3 people. The chap at reception was so helpful, we had booked for 3 adults but he gave us an accessible room which we needed. Gave us lots of tips, which were great, definitely go to Vinden for the wine tasting. Our room was spacious and had a lovely view over the vines. Thanks for a great stay.

Perfect place to escape the city

A wonderful away-from-it-all location within striking distance from Sydney. Love the deck overlooking the vines and the room was very comfortable. Only regret is that the separately managed onsite restaurant was closed, but a more that adequate nearby alternative was easily found. Will be back.

Room was almost perfect in an excellent location, maximum 15 minutes drive to anywhere. Staff were lovely, very helpful. Only issue we had was with the hot water, there was none on our first night and from there it took around 10 minutes to reach lukewarm temperatures. We attempted to have a spa bath but couldn't get the water warm enough to enjoy it.

Peaceful & well equipped lodge

Enjoyed our 2 night stay at this lodge. It was peaceful and the room accommodated for 2 adults and a 3.5 yr old with a pull out sofa bed. Perfect for the 3 of us. They had a toaster, plates and cutlery for our convenience. The mattress was a bit soft though, but other than that was a nice stay for a long weekend in the heart of all the great wineries and attractions.
