The studio was even better than pictured and super clean. Parking is easy as each studio gets its own spot or two. The retreat is completely quiet so it’s very serene in the early morning and at night if you fancy stargazing. The breakfast provisions were much appreciated. Highly recommend for solo travellers, couples or groups as there are studios that are clustered together!

Beautiful retreat right in the heart of Hunter Valley. Modern and thought out room with all the amenities you need. Loved the views of the hills and lake, with the bonus of seeing a couple of wild kangaroos early in morning outside of the cabin! The breakfast provisions are a nice touch, as is the complimentary shuttle to Bimbadgen. Would really recommend the latter for their sunset sessions.
