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.

Convenient for our purposes, just a bit tired. But the staff and service waa great. The room needed better ventilation, our bathroom seemed very damp and took ages to dry out after use.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Great location. Close to many vineyards, restaurants. Great view on the lake. Easy parking. Friendly staff. We did not try their restaurant, spa or pool - something to do next time. Fast wi-fi. Quiet place. Very cozy lounge with a nice fireplace and friendly faces. We visited in June - Hunter Valley did not have many visitors, so we were lucky. Pool table was the only minor disappointment. It's great to have it, but the cues and balls require replacement and the table needs levelling. In overall - great place.

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.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Room was clean and well maintained. Staff very friendly and helpful. Parking was right outside our room Close to the Hunter valley gardens and Harrigans and a number of wineries. Pool area looked a great place to spend a Sunny afternoon. The main dining room was closed due to renovations and so dinner was in the breakfast room. The staffing was very poor in that the young lady attending to the dining room was also the bar tender. She was extremely busy and was doing her best to do both areas with a smile and grace. It is however unfair to expect someone to cover both those areas. The meals we had were very good, but to pay $48 for a chicken breast in a sauce was definitely on the steep side given the environment, staffing, and lack of finesse.
