Tough check in great stay
Good family facility well appointed room, farm for kids, lawn games, great food coffee beverage and lovely staff. Beware check in if you do not have a physical plastic card (it’s 2024 resort!). We didn’t. Had paid in full upfront. Don’t accept digital cards, wouldn’t put deposit on card, wanted cash! Was 30 mins of ringing banks and credit card company to get full card number before we could check in. Not ideal after a road trip with a 1 and 3 year old. Thought at one point we would have to go home even though as I said before we had paid up front in full. At least tell guests in advance you want an actual card or cash and that you don’t accept tap and go!

Absolutely loved this property. The staff were so welcoming and the room was just what we needed - the mattress was DIVINE! We watched the movie about Wine Making and had a wine tasting experience that was not only tasty but educational. Everything we needed was right there on the property and I highly recommend.

The resort was excellent and was everything we wanted. The bed was so comfy and the room was so clean. The only issue was our room locked behind us after hours and we didn’t have the key when we went to the after hours button and tried phoning the number multiple times, no one answered, we then remembered that we had been out the back of the room on the patio and realised we hadn’t locked that door so we got in. It was about 4 hours later that a man opened the door to wake us up and see if we were alright. It was a nice cold evening and luckily we got back inside

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.
