We previously stayed here about 7 years ago and, then, we considered it a pleasant place to stay. Undoubtedly a wonderful location in the heart of wine country and close to concert locations. Regretfully, our experience this time was somewhat disappointing. Whilst the room was of a decent size, the beds comfortable and the property clean (apart from the dirty rear patio and its furniture) we were extremely disappointed with the availability of storage for clothes. The bedside furniture was in a poor state of repair, badly scratched and in urgent need of replacement. Not a drawer in sight which resulted in having to store clothes on the top shelf of an already crowded wardrobe. There were no comfortable chairs to sit on (apart from the edge of the bed) and the fabric on the chairs was stained. The carpet, though, had been fairly recently replaced and there was a good TV with decent entertainment options. The HunterValley is a premium destination for both local and international travellers but, to be honest, it is difficult to imagine how this venue holds the #1 motel accommodation spot in the area. Writing a review of this nature is not easy but serious thought needs to be given to upgrade facilities and enable the property to regain its previous reputation. The review is written genuinely in the hope that the owners will respond accordingly. Cessnock is a mere 10-15 minute drive away and, in our opinion, right now the town offers a much more affordable alternative.

“Not a country stay”

The rooms were adequate, a good size, the aircon was good. The view from our room was to the keg and pallet yard which is hardly acceptable when you are in wine country. On Friday and Saturday nights the bar and bistro is pumping, and they have a live band, which is great fun if you do not wish to … lisää

The rooms were adequate, a good size, the aircon was good. The view from our room was to the keg and pallet yard which is hardly acceptable when you are in wine country. On Friday and Saturday nights the bar and bistro is pumping, and they have a live band, which is great fun if you do not wish to go to sleep until the early hours of the morning, but they do supply ear plugs in your room. When we booked there was no mention of some rooms this close to the action. If you are looking for a good pub, good drinks and a variety of music, then this could be your venue!
