Guest Reviews
- Charlotte (10/5): - It was so nice and peaceful but still close by to restaurants and wineries. The cottage was so nice and comfortable, giving us the escape we were looking for. The complimentary wine was the cherry on top. We will absolutely come back.
- Jennifer (10/5): Amazing - So well equipped Nothing
- Narelle (9/5): Amazing stay and we loved all the little thoughtful details. - Great location, beautiful, comfortable cottage ... and the hot tub was perfect after a hard day wine tasting. Nothing.
- Paula (8/5): - Location, comfy. The road from the gate to the villa was very wet and had a lot of potholes. I realise you can’t do much about the weather that we’ve had previously but the area surrounding the villa was very boggy and to get things from the car to the villa was difficult. May I suggest a cement lab that you park on said it makes it easier and then you don’t have to walk in the slush and the potholes.
- Margaret (8/5): Fabulous convenient cottage with beautiful billabong views. - Great cottage for two couples with everything needed for a great weekend. Nothing
- Ellie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sharon (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, clean & well maintained
Plenty of parking for our group.
- Kim (10/5): Luxurious stay with fridge, spa and outdoor bath tub. Close to wineries and Hunter Valley Gardens - Loved the in room spa and the outdoor bath tub! Only 15 min drive to Hunter Valley Gardens and had a full sized fridge The cicadas were out in full force during the day so had to keep windows and doors closed otherwise we'd go deaf!
- Michelle (10/5): Peaceful, tranquil, romantic - We both loved our stay at Sweetacres Sunset Ridge, it was a little peace of tranquil paradise, it was quiet, no one disturbed us. the spa was amazing, gazing out into the sunset and the night sky. bed was super comfy even for an afternoon nap. Perfect spot for Romance and weekends away with the one you love. Everything was perfect
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nancy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lynette (10/5): Cosy and comfortable - Being able to stay with large family on the one property but separate accommodation to cater for different age demographics
- Bilingham (10/5): Beautiful little cottage in secluded but beautiful scenery with everything you need! - It’s such a cosy cottage with everything you need!
- William (8/5): A very secluded site which allowed me to relax and unwind properly and enjoy my time in the Hunter Valley. The facilitie - It had a nice set up and was very calm and relaxing. The WiFi was patchy and didn’t reach the property.
- Denise (8/5): Very nice place to stay. Enjoyed our time there. - Comfortable accommodation with a good spa. Had most things needed. Very nice place to stay. Tank water brown. Worsened over a few days. No smell to water. Used for all things except drinking. Bought bottle water.
Checked windows after a couple of days and realized not locked. Code to get in via the gate. Found another padlocked gate at back of property. Next to it was a big hole in the fence leading to the road.
- Peter (3/5): Poor - Location .quirky cabin was good. Excellent surroundings. Good facilities with swimming pool .Very private
Good outdoor space The admin prior to the visit was officious and lengthy . Too many e mails
Terms and conditions were stressed to the point of annoyance. Terms and condions and other admin were printed out in a folder that was 30 plus pages long.
The worst thing was their request to upload photos of the front and back of our credit card for a security deposit. We refused as this is against fsc regulations and against booking.com rules
After consulting with booking.com we eventually gave them a card no over the phone before they would give us an access code 30 mind before arrival
The site has been recently been taken over and we went on a recommendation. We are not sure they have recently inspected the cabins as we were not happy with the cleanliness and had to wash glasses and crockery before use. There was no dishwasher even though the instructions referred to one. The blinds were covered in dust.
- Carl (9/5): Beautiful location to spend time in the Hunter Valley great location for wine tasting and also just spending some time r - The property is located in a beautiful rural/bush setting with each cabin having its own privacy.
The property is supplied with all the little extras to allow you to just enjoy your time.
Would highly recommend this is my second time staying hear and won’t be my last. Nothing. The team are very responsive and helpful.
- Liz (8/5): Very good -
- Jamie (9/5): Relaxing - The location was peaceful and the outdoor bath was so serene! The bed was very comfortable.
- Marion (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gabby (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hratch (8/5): Good. We have been before so knew what to expect - No breakfast so you need to update your questions Sensor light coming on continually due to wind setting off the bushes below
- Siew (8/5): Very good -
- Faith (9/5): Perfect getaway stay! - The location was great and though it felt secluded and private it was very close to lots of wineries, cafes restaurants etc. Was easy to access and the book described everything we needed to know. Since we didn’t have service or wifi it would have been nice if there were DVDs or games for something to do! We didn’t mind too much as we were only there for a couple of nights but did get a little bored at times. Though it was nice to unplug!
- Michelle (10/5): Perfect getaway for the extended family - Very Private, quiet and relaxing. Right in the heart of wine country.
- Daniel (9/5): Superb -
- Jane (8/5): Absolutely lovely we will be back - Lack of wifi was the only drawback - otherwise it was amazing
- Leonardo (8/5): Very good -
- Renae (8/5): Very good -
- Kate (10/5): A unique and fabulous accomodation! - secluded and unique! poor service, wifi needed!
- Virginia (8/5): would highly recommend and would love to stay again - the fact that it was the last house on the property
nice and secluded
- Riley (10/5): Exceptional -
