We only decided to go to the Hunter from Sydney last minute one Saturday morning. Jazz in the Vines was on we discovered and accommodation was scarce. We got in here (via the tourist Info people) and although the room was basic it was a pleasant surprise to find reasonably priced bottles of the estates wines in the room. It... More

I agree with JR1Sydney - accommodation very basic albeit the bed was comfortable but certainly not worth the price paid ($380 1nt d/b/b). We booked for 2 nights but only stayed 1 as the room in which we stayed was quite run down - the sliding bathroom door got stuck each time you tried to open or close it, so... More

The accommodation was basic but comfortable, but overpriced. For the amount paid I expect better than basic and comfortable. We did not eat at the restaurant and breakfast was self serve with no hot food. Will stay elsewhere next time. More

I'm a world traveler - I live in Colorado. I camp, I tie my food up from bears, I'm no wimp. But charging over $200 for a sparse log cabin room invested with 4-inch spiders is not acceptable. The $10 hostel we recently visited in Costa Rica was cleaner and had better service. 3-inch spiders criss-crossed the porch area. The... More

Lovely weekend getaway. The log style cabins are really cosy and plenty of hot water in a spacious shower! The verandah outside allows you to sit and take in the ambience of the place- truly magnificent. The owners and staff are extremely hospitable and you do feel you are getting personalised attention. The only thing I would suggest is that... More

On arriving we were pleasantly surprised by the quaint rooms positioned along the beautiful wooden verandah. Unfortunately the verandah is incredible noisy when anyone walks along it, and unluckily for us there was a hens party group staying on the night we were there who were making an incredible noise until after midnight. The rooms were cosy but very basic,... More

We have been to the Hunter Country Lodge on several occasions in the past few years. We haven't always stayed at the Lodge but we ALWAYS eat at the restaurant. We have returned with different friends and relatives each time and always received the same interesting food and excellent service. Simon's willingness to share not only his knowledge of wine...

My husband and i stayed for 2 nights and were very disappointed with the accomodation.It was a rustic type setting but the room was old and outdated. The shakey tables restaurant is a contemporary style setting with a very different menu.Breakfast was average as several guests had to ask for the hot food to be topped up on arrival. We... More

As part of a small group of friends we used this as a base for a Hunter Valley weekend and had dinner in the Shakey Tables Restaurant on Saturday nigtht. Our cabin/motel style rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable, the bathrooms a good size and while a bit dated in style, perfectly satisfactory. Extra pillows and plenty of... More
