Peaceful & well equipped lodge

Enjoyed our 2 night stay at this lodge. It was peaceful and the room accommodated for 2 adults and a 3.5 yr old with a pull out sofa bed. Perfect for the 3 of us. They had a toaster, plates and cutlery for our convenience. The mattress was a bit soft though, but other than that was a nice stay for a long weekend in the heart of all the great wineries and attractions.

Stayed at the Hermitage Lodge with 2 Adults and 2 Children. The stay was very pleasant and peaceful. Perfect for a recharge. Parking available right outside the unit and the continental breakfast was fair. Overall, a great stay and would come back again when I return to Hunter Valley. Do try the Italian restaurant onsite too, the food there was delicious.

Unfortunately when we booked, we didn’t check the restaurant hours and on arrival we were advised that it was closed for the duration of our stay. Our fault for not checking, and the reception staff were very helpful with dining recommendations. Restaurant hours on the website would have been more informative rather than just one line advice to check in amongst all the promotional stuff about the hotel and the surrounding area.

Warm and Cozy

We had a fantastic stay at this accommodation! It truly felt like a home away from home. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a lovely fireplace that made our evenings cozy. It was perfect for our family, as there were plenty of family-friendly amenities nearby. Everything we needed was just a short distance away, which made our stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient getaway!

We stayed in a premium apartment. Nice modern apartment but just no charm. No extras in the kitchen to really make it a useable cooking space. No lamps in the lounge and the deck wasn’t usable in the rain as the cover overhead wasn’t weatherproof. Comfy, but overpriced without the attention to detail and extras that should have been there given the price.
