"What a beautiful, intimate, quaint cottage and only 10 minutes from the vineyards. Helen was the most lovely host, very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. It was so peaceful and it felt like we were stepping into a cottage in the rolling hills of England. We loved our stay, the lovely breakfast each morning and definitely will be returning in the cooler months to sit around the beautiful log fire with a bottle of the Hunter’s finest."

Stayed at the Hermitage for 2 nights and it was great - comfortable, clean and quiet with all the amenities we needed. We ate in the on-site Italian restaurant too and the food was amazing.

Beautiful retreat right in the heart of Hunter Valley. Modern and thought out room with all the amenities you need. Loved the views of the hills and lake, with the bonus of seeing a couple of wild kangaroos early in morning outside of the cabin! The breakfast provisions are a nice touch, as is the complimentary shuttle to Bimbadgen. Would really recommend the latter for their sunset sessions.

Lovely location with kangaroos out the front - can cab watch them while sitting out on the terrace. Close to several wineries. Can hire electric bikes on site. Very friendly staff.

We had the most amazing stay here in a 3 bedroom house. It was very large and great for entertaining as we also had some family staying at Peppers. Will be back again.

Overall excellent 4 night stay, beautiful location close to all major sights of the Hunter Valley. We had Kangeroos outside our unit most mornings. Accomodation was as described and good quality. Would stay again, owner was very helpful.

Location was great, accommodation was fabulous. The only fault was the instructions had the wrong access code but the winery at the entrance were great and quickly sorted things. As a Brit waking to kangaroos in the vineyards surrounding the property was a great start to our holiday
