Guest Reviews
- Natalie (10/5): -
- Lindsay (10/5): Perfect stay at the Hunter - nice touch to give us a personalised welcome card with wine. everything was modern, luxury and private with stunning views. n.a
- Hye Won (10/5): Love it! - It was really clean! warm! nothing
- Marisa (10/5): A dream accomodation - This location is absolutely stunning, it is so quiet and relaxing and you have mountain/lake and vineyard views, I cannot fault it Nothing!
- Kylie (9/5): -
- jessie (10/5): -
- llaughland (9/5): Lovely stay! - The room was great, location was great and they filled the fridge and had some food for breakfast. Was super impressed
- Hongliang (8/5): -
- Dimity (9/5): Great stay, would definitely go back! - The sunset view was fantastic, it was a quiet serene setting, we had parking out the front of our villa, it was close to the pool (which was warm), close to all restaurants/wineries. Breakfast was ok, would have been good to have a little more included and some snacks would have been nice too.
- Theresa (9/5): Naturerlebnis - Der Ausblick ist toll. Man hat die Natur direkt vor dem Fenster. Der Pool hat eine angenehme Wärme. Das angekündigte Frühstück steht bereit im Zimmer und wird bei mehreren Nächten nicht zwischendurch aufgefüllt.
- Lynda (10/5): The most relaxing place on earth - The view! The beautiful room! Only negative I would say is that there was no milk frother with the coffee machine but we were able to buy barrister coffee at The Pantry anyway
- Michael (10/5): Absolutely the best relaxation stay you could want! - Idyllic location, views were sensational and a lovely mob of Roos in front of our suite were great to watch from afternoon till dark! The suite has the best bed ever and a wonderful bathroom.. very hard to top this place in the wineries!!!! Nothing at all… a small table on the verandah would be nice though to place your glass of Bimbadgen on👍
- Manjoot (10/5): - Clean and didn’t react to any dust mites as I’m allergic

- Georgia (10/5): Such a beautiful and peaceful Stay! - Truly such a beautiful place!!! My partner and I couldn’t stop going on about how beautiful the property is and how peaceful we felt. We needed a holiday and the lane retreat did just that, it was just amazing and haven’t been able to stop raving about it. Everything about the property to the room and even providing breakfast and catering to everyone’s needs like having gluten free granola and things like that to make it that little bit more personal. My partner and I are already planning on coming back. We have nothing bad to say and just want to say thank you for creating such a peaceful and beautiful place for people to unwind and relax. Would 100% recommend
- Paige (10/5): -
- Marie (9/5): All we could ask for - The cereal was a little crispy for an 80+yr old to cope with
- asambura (9/5): Great place - recommend! -

- William (7/5): The room and facilities were very comfortable. - The property sits far back from the nearest busy road so that it is very quiet. The check in was very difficult and stressful. When we arrived we discovered no live reception. A call to the reservation number and we found they had never received a card number to cover “incidentals” and therefore never sent us the details. After providing that, the unit number was given, with a promise to send the welcome message immediately. In all it took three calls to get into the right unit, get the door code and the Wi-Fi password. The check-in details have never been received.

- Ashley (10/5): Wonderful, just wonderful - So nice and modern, clean and great view. The bed was so comfy! Nothing
- Branka (10/5): It was amazing 🤩 - Comfortable, privacy and natural N/a
- jessie (10/5): We celebrated our third anniversary here and had an amazing time — the place is spacious and private, and the view is ab - The room was very clean and comfortable. View is amazing and we will definitely come back again!!! So far everything is very good! We enjoyed a lot!!!

- Eleanor (8/5): It was so nice and quiet, very clean facilities and comfortable bed - So clean and nice Nothing
- Nancy (10/5): -
- Alyssia (10/5): - Clean, good breakfast and amazing views Bathroom window wasn’t frosted and people could see in
- Eunike (9/5): Was a very pleasant stay - Cleanliness, great ammenities, double shower head, double vanity, great view Nothing really
- Stephen (9/5): Very relaxing. - A very nice setup of studio clusters of 3 to 4 appropriately spaced out for optimised privacy and views. Each studio was very well laid out and modern. It was nice to be able to walk the property adjacent to the vineyards. The continental in room breakfast is disappointing. The Lane Retreat should provide a breakfast room with hot items which I would gladly pay for.
- Marg (10/5): - Very new, bed was very comfortable, great shower, love having two shower heads and two bathroom sinks. Great having continental breakfast included. Will be even better when the trees surrounding the villas have grown.
- Elizabeth (8/5): - Staff very welcoming and organised the shuttle bus to take us to and from the winery for lunch. The room had a beautiful outlook towards the mountains and we could sit and watch the native birds that came to visit 😊 The room was spacious and modern. Plus they provided a great breakfast pack with a variety of supplies. A luggage rack or small bench to put a suitcase on would be great. The TV remote batteries seemed to be flat and we couldn't get casting from our device to work, but it wasn't a great hardship.
- Samuel (10/5): Fantastic location, Clean and comfortable room. - The location is fantastic. The rooms were very clean and bathrooms were immaculate. Everything was perfect

- Jolien (10/5): Superfijn verblijf in Hunter Valley - Heel erg mooie kamer en supermooi uitzicht met zelfs kangoeroes in de ochtend. We kregen ook een chauffeur aanbevolen vanuit de accommodatie die eveneens huisdiervriendelijk was. Niets
- Ann (10/5): -
- Philippa (9/5): Malerische Unterkunft mit Wein (und Kängurus) - Sehr schön gelegen neben einem eigenen Weinberg mit Blick auf einen See. Die Unterkunft war modern und hatte alles, was man für wenige Tage braucht. Wir haben außerdem einen kostenlos Wein als Aufmerksamkeit bekommen. Das Frühstück war bereits für zwei Tage auf der Küchenzeile/im Kühlschrank deponiert worden. Das Brot war für zwei Tage etwas eng berechnet, uns hat das zu zweit nur für ein Frühstück gereicht.
- Jobe (10/5): Perfect - Everything Nothing
- Angela (10/5): Comfortable luxury in a tranquil location - We loved our stay - a comfortable room & bed with a beautiful view of the mountains. A great location & base to explore the region. Loved the resident kangaroos too!

- Jourdan (10/5): -
- Janelle (9/5): -
- Shead (6/5): -
- Lauren (10/5): - Perfect stay on our road trip. Great for pets. Very clean and comfortable. Would stay again.
- VICKY (9/5): Overall we really enjoyed the stay. - We found the room practical and the bed was very comfortable. The pool was lovely and the view across to the mountains was beautiful. The breakfast provisions were also outstanding quality. Check-in was a little tricky as we didn’t receive a check-in email telling us where to go. The office was also very strict about the 3:00pm check-in which was challenging on a super hot day where there was no real shelter.
- Jodie (10/5): It was awesome - It was clean and very nice out look I liked everything
