This quaint little restaurant looks deceiving from the outside then you walk into an amazing ambience. We were seated upstairs which if you are in a small group I think you will prefer so please request it. The meals are amazing, so very French which is exactly how they should be. The meat is so tender and the sauces are to die for. We had the pate for an entrée which I think could have had a little more alcohol in it but it is personal choice, being we make our own at home we are picky when it comes to that although this was still totally enjoyable. The staff could be a tiny bit more attentive as it was hard to get another drink but we totally enjoyed the night all around. Lovely view, so warm and comfortable and food is terrific just as it should be. The meal was very well priced for the two of us which was a surprise based on being right amongst the city area and with the lovely views you expect to be hit quite hard. A real treasure of a find!

My husband and I had dinner at this Tapas restaurant while enjoying a weekend away in Sydney. The meals were a decent size and of an average quality, I wouldn't say it was bad but have definitely enjoyed better. The staff were very busy but managed to try and keep on top of it. A very small space so I suppose they manage ok. Drinks were average price although the cocktails do come in a very small glass. I love the quirky sangria bottles with the tap at the bottom! I think if the quality f meals was lifted a little this would be a real gem as sitting outside by the heaters watching the world go by is quite entertaining and enjoyable. Thanks guys.

I visited this winery as part of a group tour and Jeanette was just beautiful. First group of the day and she was just so lovely and informative and so friendly and easy going showing us through the back area to get a real perspective look of how the wine is made. Lovely wines both red and white and as a white drinker I even enjoyed the reds. Roger the wine maker even made the effort to pop his head in and say a quick hello and have a chat with the group even though he had such a busy day ahead of him. Beautiful Spanish inspired winery that really is a must on any trip up to the Hunter Valley. I have driven past quite a few times but never ventured inside and now it will be on my favourites list!
The wines are all well priced and I am sure you will find at least a few to add to your cellar. Such lovely and personal service so again thank you so so very much.

This quaint restaurant is a little tricky to find but once you arrive it is lovely. Go upstairs and you will find the loveliest tapas food you have ever come across, definitely not cheap but lovely and you really don't mind. Try the local wines with your meal to enhance the experience. We ordered a few dishes to begin with and added as the afternoon progressed. They recommend ordering a certain amount of dishes and I have to say they are spot on. Both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this place. The staff we had were learning the menu still but seeing we were childless and out for a nice lunch we would have still been happy if the resident old brown dog took our order. We could not fault one of the meals at all. Being a Friday, the places was filling up as the afternoon progressed so I do recommend booking in advance if you can to make sure you get a table as it is a quite large restaurant but it did fill up fast.

How lush is this? I was given the "Signature Package" by my husband for valentines day and thoroughly enjoyed every bit. From your arrival you are given the fluffiness robes and are able to use the detox box, plunge pool or spa both before or after your treatment. There are herbal teas and fruit infused water while you wait for your beautiful procedures to begin so I advise you to bring your swim wear so you can use the extra facilities. I had both a massage and facial done to your requirements etc using lovely products. The ladies take extra care to make sure they find out what will suit you best.
The products are not cheap and it is pure bliss so you pay accordingly but so you should to be spoilt in this manner and nor do you mind. Make sure to book as early as you can especially if you intend on having a couple of procedures or go with your friends as it does book up a little. You should also arrive a little early for your appointment to take advantage of the extra services like the detox box etc.

The Vintage Golf Club has something for everyone be it golfers, families, meals, day spas or accomodation.
I have played golf here and it is regardless as one of Australia's hardest courses off the black tees. The meals at the club house are beautiful, not the cheapest but on par with resort prices. The best part for me is the day spa and the children's golf lessons on a Sunday afternoon. So much fun for the kids and so relaxed. Next time you are out that way call in for a game, meal, facial or stay the weekend in the accomodation on the course you will not be disappointed no matter what you do out there.

I stumbled across David by accident and what a find!!! I have now been ordering our beef and lamb for a few months and cannot fault it at all. All their meat is free range, grass fed, hormone and antibiotic free and as well as being absolutely beautiful in quality and taste it is so very reasonably priced.
David is just so good and easy to deal with making the whole process an absolute pleasure.
Pop onto Hunter Naturals website and see for yourself the wonderful work these farmers do and the great prices they sell their meat at.

I have been here only once to get a manicure and pedicure and found it very average. I booked in for both treatments and after the pedicure they shipped me out and seeing it was so average I didn't bother to speak up and say I had booked both treatments. It was very impersonal, no one speaks to you and it is very rushed and get you out the door so I'm not sure how you go if it's busy. My friend goes here and likes it so I suppose it's each to their own although I will not go back.

We visited this cafe with our children and found it to be very average with overpriced food and drinks as well as very slow service seeing we were the second table with anyone there at all. I found the inside too cluttered to sit in but it is a nice soot to sit outside anywhere within the gardens. We only had light meals and drinks that were an average size. Not sure I would rush back as there are so many wonderful places in the Hunter Valley to be enjoyed so much more.

I have recently had my nails done here with shellac and I have found it to be a little chunky/bulky which is a shame. They feel more like I have had nails put on instead of just a coating on my own nails. Girls were friendly enough but not overly chatty, they were more interested in speaking to each other. Average pricing which is good. I know they do other beauty treatments and maybe that is more their calling. Pleasant shop to be in though and it looks clean.

Approximate cost: $45
