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.

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!
