Wow! I can't believe there is not already a review here for
Hermitage Lodge, we booked in here after looking around for a place to stay overnight that was close to Hunter Valley Gardens. My husband and I had planed a romantic over night getaway and that is exactly what we got!

We decided to pay an extra $210 to get ourselves the romantic package which was fantastic. (this includes sparkling wine and chocolates on arrival, 3 course meal for 2 and cooked breakfast the following morning)

From the moment we arrived I was taken by the serenity and beauty of the setting, it was so peaceful. We booked in and were greeted by very friendly staff who took the trouble to explain the package and show us to our room.

The room was beautiful, clean and with a beautiful view over the vineyard.

We had dinner in the restaurant and the next morning breakfast on the deck. The service was fantastic, we booked our breakfast for 8.30am and exactly 8.30am there was a knock on the door with our breakfast!

There are many rooms and packages to chose from so there is really something to suit everyone and specially those looking for a romantic night or weekend away.

The lodge is equipped with a public lounge area and access to a washing machine. Our room included a TV and DVD player, spa, front and back private decks and a beautiful king sized bed. It was the perfect night away!

It is perfectly situated a cross the road from Hope Estate (perfect accommodation if your going to see a concert), it is also close to Hunter Valley Gardens (it's pretty much just around the corner) and of course the fully licensed Il Cacciatore restaurant!

I would definitely return!
