We only went in for a drink , but they had decent quality craft beers on tap and great wines…read more The food being delivered to the other tables looked good though and the menu was interesting for me. Service at the bar was friendly and quick.

The food looks great. Tastes OK…read more We were here a year ago and I couldn't find my review. I suspect I saved it as draft and never posted it but the fact I couldn't remember if the food was good, bad or indifferent should have made me think twice. :) As I said the food LOOKED great. We were impressed with the kids meals and the fact they had salad with the chips which doesn't always happen. My burger also looked quite nice. When it can be to eating it though, the kids steak was a tad chewy and charred, the kids chicken nuggets' batter was oily and thick and the burger was nothing you'd write home about. The service was friendly and the meal wasn't expensive ($59 fit two adult and two child meals plus a soft drink) but this is not a place I'd recommend. It's the second time we stop here because it's on our way to/from home and next time we decide convenience rule, we'll go to the nearest maccas.

Waited 80 for food and was told our food could be thrown out when we asked about it…read more Service apart from this one person was great. The wait too long with kids however. And others in our party received food 30 minutes prior to us. Nice looking venue.

Most of the rooms are on the same level with a courtyard, we had ours looking towards the tennis…read morecourt. Unfortunately it rained heavily for 90% of the time we were here but the rooms were clean, staff were super friendly and the hotel was very nice. The library off reception has a log fire and there is a cozy comfort to the reception which I loved plus the smell of a log fire burning. They are also walking distance to the hunter valley village shops and gardens so easy to get to and really convenient too.

I had really bad experiences with hotels in NSW, so i decided to look for a hotel (on a hotel site)…read morewith the best customer service reviews within a 100 km radius of where I was and happened upon this gem. It was worth the 1 hours drive, and it brought me to NSW wine country, which was an added bonus. The upstair hotel is as quaint as can be. The decor is full of miscellaneous artifacts from the 1950s, 60s and 70s put together with exquisite taste. The rooms are adorable. It's clean. The inn keeper is a gem himself. One of the "rooms" is actually a stocked kitchen that is available for vacationers' use. The tables in the 'dining room' are made from reworked antique doors. Absolutely fabulous, and was so worth going out of our way for.

This is a great little hotel in Cessnock which is a great town to base yourself while exploring…read moreHunter Valley. The owner has taken great care in curating the fabulous retro funriture throughout the entire inn so if you like retro be sure to book here. The service was nearly invisible which is the way I like it: all fresh pillows and no hassle.

This was our favorite hotel of our entire Australian trip. We had a studio suite that overlooked…read morethe vineyard and large pond with ducks. There were free laundry facilities and it was just a short walk to an amazing restaurant, Il Cacciatore. There was a continental breakfast in the room each day that included English muffins with several topping choices, yogurt/berry parfaits, and muesli. Coffee and tea were also in the room, or espresso drinks were available in the lobby for a small fee. Each morning, I went to the lobby to get a latte and was able to sit and talk with the owners. They are LOVELY and gave great recommendations for restaurants and activities. This place helped make Hunter Valley my favorite Australian destination!

Lovely hotel centrally located in Hunter Valley. Stayed in the vineyard studio which has a nice…read moreopen floor plan with a cute little balcony facing the vines. Room was clean and spacious. Few things to note, continental breakfast is included and is actually already in the fridge upon arrival--which allows one to have a midnight snack (if you get hungry during the night like me, haha) and gives you flexibility with when you want to take your breakfast (no early morning knocking). On a side note, for those who are particular about toiletries, the hotel provides a combo shampoo/body wash. If that's not your cup of tea, you might want to bring your own shampoo. Also, complimentary wifi for those techies, like myself.
