Guest Reviews

Leanne (10/5): Wish we would have stayed an extra night!! - The hotel was very relaxing and quiet. Breakfast was served in the beautiful Botanica restaurant and was a great way to start the day. The staff were very friendly and knowledgable.

We have very specific dietary restrictions and the chef at Botanica was able to make amazing vegan dishes for us! N/A

Melanie (10/5): Spacious, relaxing stay with great food - Our room was nice a big, more like a studio flat, huge bathroom. The staff are lovely and helpful. The food at the restaurant is delicious.

Susan (9/5): - The friendly and attentive staff, beautiful setting, and delicious meals complimented our wonderful accomodation at the Vineyards guest house Unfortunately our stay coincided with a very hot, windy day so that we couldn't appreciate the beautiful outdoor scenery and activities as much as we would have liked to have done.
Morgan (10/5): -
Christian (9/5): Sehr gut für Weinexkursionen gelegenes Hotel mit wenigen luxuriösen Zimmern. - Sehr schönes großes Zimmer, alles einem 5 Sterne Standard entsprechend und neu renoviert. Sehr gute Lage. Friedlich und still. Die Wallabies kamen bis zur Veranda zum Grasen. Die Mitarbeiterinnen sehr aufmerksam und gut vorbereitet. Die Außenanlagen wirkten etwas vernachlässigt. Eine Renovierung täte gut. Der Aussenwhirlpool war eher kühl, auf keinen Fall 38Grad, eher 30. Da machte es keinen Spaß sich zu entspannen.
Andrea (10/5): Perfect ! - Beautiful setting, amazing spa treatment Nothing
Kaneeka Kapur (9/5): -
DAVID (8/5): - Restaurant was great. Property has great potential. Room was large. the maintenance of the property is a bit lax. Rooms are a bit tired. Overall the facility is good, but for the price it should be excellent. The walkways were not kept clear of leaves and fallen bark. There is not much to do on the property other than sit by the pool or go to the restaurant. They should develop a walking path or something else to do.
Roland (10/5): . - Beautiful place to relax and look at the stars. Great breakfast. The staff as always, were exceptional.

graces09 (10/5): Fantastic 2nd Stay! Looks Like Home - Felt Like Luxury! - I unfortunately couldnt amend my previous 1 star review from our original stay in October 2020 - I should’ve done this earlier and apologise for the lateness! The team at spicers contacted me after the review I originally left and instead of the basic and generic response, they attempted to make amends for my original stay and offered me a chance to visit again and see the changes they made. I did return again in April of 2021 and the difference was day and night. For anyone visiting this space and staying in the vineyard estate house - I have nothing but praise for the team who took care of the home and us. All of the issues I mentioned in my original review were responded to and managed in such an effortless way. The rooms were stunningly clean, the grounds were so well kept and honestly it was just everything we had imagined the first stay had been. I truly want to thank the team (whether they are still on board or have moved on to other ventures) for all they did. I am grateful for the care they showed myself and my guests and simply for the fact that they took the feedback onboard and made the changes that resulted in one of the best stays I’ve ever had. No complaints here - only gratitude. The team on-site and in management made all the difference. Thank you all again
Mark (10/5): Excellent location - This accommodation was superb, very comfortable, great sized rooms, very relaxing trip with very friendly staff. nothing
Heather (4/5): Essentially experienced an Airbnb experience when I paid for and expected a hotel. - A disaster We booked the room and also paid for breakfast to receive shortly before going the restaurant was closed for renovations. Many other places close by for dinner. I then asked about the breakfast we had paid for. Told a continental breakfast could be delivered the night before. For 3 of us we received 4 slices of stale bread (toaster in room), 3 muffins and 3 small yogurts, 2 oranges and 1 apple. Totally inadequate for what we paid. Rooms very nice. High quality furnishings and lovely bathroom with toiletries Reception opened only during the day. No bar. Essentially an Airbnb type experience. I paid for hotel service. Truly disappointed
Teresa and Matthew (8/5): -
Steve (10/5): - Fantastic property with very helpful staff
Chelsea (10/5): -
Arthur-Fonzarelli99 (4/5): Terrible service - We arrived at 10pm. It was raining and cold. The property reception was locked with a sign with a phone number to call for emergencies. I figured not being able to check in was worthy of a call. A polite member of staff informed me that they were in the Guesthouse and would be over in 15 minutes. That wasn’t what I’d expect from a 5 star hotel but not to worry. We got into our room. It is quite aged, in need of a renovation. But again, not to worry. However, the experience got significantly worse when I went downstairs to ask where to go for breakfast. The staff member rudely explained that the breakfast that I paid an extra $120 for was already in the room the night before. It was two pieces of bread, some jam and two packets of cereal. I don’t eat bread/gluten. The restaurant was apparently closed for renovations and allegedly they tried (on several occasions I was rudely told) to contact Expedia to inform me but because I’m somehow a lesser guest for booking through Expedia, they didn’t pass me the message so too bad for me / don’t use a booking agent. I asked for a refund for today’s breakfast but agin was snapped at saying “no”. It’s not so much about the restaurant being closed, not being informed when I booked, the aged room etc, it’s the service (or lack of) that can let any place down.

karen (4/5): - Arrived to find the resturant being refurbed ( wish we had been informed so we could cancel) After i checked out they used all my personal details to book wine tour for another client.
Nicole (10/5): Fabulous! If only we could have swapped weather… - Close proximity of rooms for our party was very convenient. A wider selection of classic board games in the rooms would be a welcome inclusion given the inclement weather during our stay.
Fabian (9/5): Superb -
Amrinder (8/5): - Good solid accommodation - though nothing that blew me away to be honest
stevehV6745CV (4/5): A miserable experience - The service is poor, with staff training desperately needed. The hotel ran out of some popular wine, with no plausible explanation as to why. The breakfast menu had sausages on several dishes. They were out of sausages for several days. The hotel did not supply newspapers, even when requested. We had wine glasses (given as a gift) removed from our room by house services with No explanation as to why. It was an effort to retrieve them. The Hotel markets themselves 5 Star accomodation. It’s a long way off 5 Star. We will not be returning there.
David (8/5): Good - Ok
Paul (10/5): Paradise - 2nd visit to this property. Pre Check-in online. Beautiful room. Clean, smelt good. Fireplace. Welcome champagne. Lovely, friendly staff. Grounds are beautiful and Botanica restaurant had amazing food for breakfast and dinner
Phil (4/5): Disappointing -
Bec (9/5): Loved our stay and will be back - Peaceful location, amazing food
Carol (10/5): Relaxing resort in lovely native nature setting. - A quiet resort, set amongst lovely gum trees and vineyards. Nice to have restaurant on site for breakfast, good coffee, nice outlook and friendly staff, especially Peter on reception, he was so helpful and friendly. Sadly we didn’t realise Botanical wasn’t open on Monday or Tuesday. We went to Muse restaurant, Peter offered to drive us and we could taxi back. it was exceptional.
Mary-anne (10/5): Comfort and tranquility in the beautiful Hunter Valley -
Kim (10/5): Exceptional -

Tracy (10/5): Exceptional -
Carrie (8/5): - Nestled on a beautiful winery, Spicers provided a quiet getaway for a night or two. The rooms are incredibly spacious with modern bathrooms and relaxing patios. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The restaurant, Botanica, is incredible - both food and service!
Ally (10/5): Exceptional -
Rajib (8/5): Very good -
Sherry (8/5): We Loved Our Stay - We loved our stay. Highly recommend. Large rooms but needs another TV on wall in front of Bed. TVs are cheap these days and needs a better coffee machine. Quality Pods but coffee machine not hot enough and then when u add milk coffee is cold. No way to heat up. Only a couple of little things but would have made a big difference.
Michael (8/5): Very good - Breakfast was very good - staff were excellent our accommodation was good, but expected better
Paul (10/5): Hunter Valley perfect setting - Adults only retreat set in amazing surroundings of Hunter Valley. Very picturesque, very comfortable very peaceful.

Monika (9/5): Superb -
Mcdonald_raymond (10/5): Beautiful getaway experience in the wonderful Hunter Valley - Beautiful location in close proximity to many great wine farms. Breakfast and dinners (both at Botanica and eRemo - Spicers Guesthouse) were fantastic, unforgettable experiences. Staff are really friendly and extra helpful. The pool and spa pool were fantastic on the warm spring afternoons. Complimentary e-bikes available for use which we took out for the day to explore all of the nearby wine farms - e assistance makes it very easy to get up and down the hills on the bike paths. Everything you could really want or need for a relaxing, romantic getaway in the beautiful Hunter Valley area. Nothing - great experience overall.
R4666SRdavidt (10/5): Great relaxing stay - We very much enjoyed a 3 night stay at the Spicers Vineyard Estate. The room was spacious, with a lounge area as well as the king size bed, and a terrace at the back. There was also a fireplace with a fire set ready for use on colder nights. It was well presented, and the service was first rate, with the room serviced each morning while we were having breakfast. Breakfast was good – with an interesting mixture of options on the menu. I enjoyed the pool although it was rather brisk in September. The general feel of the place is very relaxed - we walked the grounds one afternoon and came across a mob of kangaroos. The hotel also has a destination charger you can use if you have an EV. Special mention to Courtney serving breakfast and to the Kiwi lady (sorry I didn’t catch your name) on reception and providing transfers. Great friendly service. One minor negative – the jug in the room doesn’t fit under the tap so a bit of a hassle to fill to make a cup of tea.
Zreika (9/5): Superb - The fire place in bedroom
Lisa (10/5): Exceptional -
Charles (10/5): Highly recommend - The venue was spectacular, easy walking distance to some of the best cellar doors, Fabolous restaurant on site. Incredible views and Wiglet to feed!!
Dan (8/5): Very good -
Madison (10/5): Special Honeymoon Stay - Spicers went above and beyond to make our honeymoon stay a wonderful experience! The room was cozy with a comfortable bed and fire place and the bathroom very luxurious with a big spa bath next to opening french windows! The breakfast at Botanica was wonderful and the service there was excellent! We'll be back for our anniversaries in the future for sure! The spa pool, next to the pool, wasn't heated very well, so we weren't able to use it, as it was too cold.
Chantelle (10/5): - Fantastic value for money!
Andi (10/5): Exceptional -
Alexandra (10/5): Exceptional -
Darlene (10/5): Perfect for a romantic getaway away from it all. - Beautiful quiet location. Sensational food. Great facilities.
Jo (10/5): A wonderful retreat in a beautiful setting - highly recommend - We loved our stay at Spicers Vineyards. A two-night getaway to explore the Hunter. I’d highly recommend getting the breakfast/dinner package. There are two other Spicers properties in the region and you can use your dinner package at any of them. We had our two dinners offsite and our breakfasts at Botanical (Vineyards). All of it was exceptional). We returned from breakfast to find our rooms already made up and the fireplace burning. The hot tub was welcome at the end of the day. Staff were helpful and attentive. That we only stayed for two nights! I’m thinking hard and can’t think of anything that we didn’t like.
Fiona (7/5): We were happy with our stay - Nice outlook and nice fireplace in room. The staff were excellent. The breakfast was very good. There is a cute pig which lives on the property The hot water ran out in the hotel. So bath was cold and couldn’t use it. My husband had a cold shower in the middle of winter. This is kind of a big deal.
Christina (10/5): Exceptional -
Steve (9/5): A fantastic couple of days in a wonderful facility -
Lawrence M (10/5): - A single night will not allow you to detox from a busy life, so take some extended well earnt leave and immerse yourself in what Spicers has to offer. Great hosts in pleasant surroundings where you want for nothing.
Aliya (9/5): Country style and romantic - Very cosy. Restaurant is excellent, yummy breakfast. Location is lovely surrounded by vineyards and loved the kangaroos. Outside pool and hot tub is lovely, rooms well furnished Could hear people directly above quite loudly
David (9/5): Excellent stay. All good. - Breakfast was excellent. Location was ideal. Our American guests loved the kangaroos. Nothing really. The doors were a little squeaky so some lube in the hinges would be good.
Toni (10/5): Exceptional -
Phillip (10/5): Exceptional -
