Spicers Guesthouse

Outdoor seating/fire/pool

Very attentive and helpful staff. Breakfast was very good. Quality fresh fruit. Wild kangaroo hanging out behind our room window

Nothing

The location was convenient and close to transport and local amenities.

The room was small, the breakfast was disappointing, and the walls were thin, you could hear the TV in the next room and people coming and going…

We stayed at the beautiful Spicers Guesthouse for two nights and couldn’t fault a single part of our experience from start to finish. Our room was incredibly comfortable, and the grounds were immaculately maintained, offering stunning views in every direction. The food was divine — breakfast each morning was a highlight, and in the evenings we loved relaxing with drinks by the fire, soaking in the peaceful surroundings. Dinner at the restaurant was exceptional, with the banquet a real treat, and the gnocchi an absolute standout. What truly made the stay unforgettable, though, was the staff. Every interaction was warm, professional, and seamless — truly faultless and exceptional. We can’t wait to return.

We stayed at Spicers Guesthouse to attend a wedding. We found the venue to be well appointed and created a luxury , calmness making it a relaxing stay. The pool and facilities were very well maintained and the breakfast and food was of exceptional standard. We look forward to returning for a weekend of relaxation and bliss in the near future.

This our 4th stay and it is always incredible and homely.

The menu and chef had changed some of our fav items were not on the menu anymore. Thats all I can fault.

We have tried a number of the Spicers Resorts ; they have their "relax luxury" formula down pat. We received their email advertising an "Autumn Escape - B&B", so booked a 3-night stay in Pokolbin. Whilst booking, the girl mentioned that the package was for a "piccolo room" and we may wish a larger room ? Space is important, so we paid about $ 50/night extra to upgrade to a King Room. Upon arrival we got room #3. The bedroom was average size, but the bathroom was a elongated pipe of about 1m wide - even the sink was half size, because a full would have blocked it. I questioned this at reception, but was assured we got our upgrade . . . The resort is lovely, especially the lounge with large open fire and comfortable easy chairs - perfect for reading with a nice red. Also the pool and spa are great to relax. Breakfast is at Éremo Restaurant ; you can have it in- or outside while you watch the kangaroos grazing. They have a small buffet, mainly cereal, juice, fruits, cake and yoghurt - and a menu with about 5 choices from the kitchen. We found the menu excellent, but very limited and after 3 days we would have preferred a change. Not related to Spicers : we found the Hunter Valley rather deserted ; apart from Chinese bustours, not many people around - a lot of places shut, neglected and in decline.

We stayed for our anniversary and the friendly service and extra touches including a message and chocolates on arrival plus the chef providing a chocolate plate for us at dinner were very well received. It is a beautiful location with luxurious accomodations and stunning sunset scenery.

The updated breakfast offerings of ordering from a menu and then having continental breakfast could have expanded options. The classics are there, but we expected a full buffet.
