Didn’t like the shower over the bath at all. Very hard to keep water off the floor and very little room. The menu in the Dining Room was also very average, my partner had the Thai Beef Salad which was very poor. Don’t think that we’ll stay at this place again as there are much better options in the Hunter Valley.

We went there for my birthday weekend and had a great time there with the wine tasting, walking trails, horse rides and just spending a quite relaxed time with the family. Overall a great experience.

Bed too soft and pillows hard. The room was really average with no mini bar service. We had to request maintenance to check our air conditioner as it was not working. This should be checked prior to guests arriving. The place is noisy. Woken early from crying and screaming children next door. Was not a very enjoyable stay.
