Hunter Valley stay at Thistle Hill
Great spot to explore the Hunter Valley from. Beautiful grounds, great area to relax by the pool. Breakfast on site would have been fantastic or a breakfast basket in the room but other than that a perfect spot for a short break with our dog.

All the small touches and attention to detail made this a most marvellous and enjoyable stay. Would recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy a weekend at the Vineyards. Beautiful rooms, super quiet and well maintained overall. Great fire pit area also. We give it a 10/10.

In the middle of the nature
Lovely spot surrounded by nature. What we found strange was that according to hotels.com the booked room was INCLUDING breakfast. However upon arrival we where informed that the breakfast would be 2 x 20 AUD extra, as the breakfast was not mentioned on the booking. I checked on my own receipt from hotels.com and also didn't see breakfast on it. Not a big problem for us, we just drove into the next Cafe in the morning as we aren't huge breakfast eaters anyway. It's just confusing and I suggest that this should be worked out and clarified.

The stay itself was amazing however a slight misunderstanding with our booking. My stay was booked for the 18th of March to the 20th however Jo had it in her calendar for the 19th. We were still given a room however not the one we paid for Jo was very apologetic. The room we were given on the 19th was beautiful and lots of nice touches. Freshly baked biscuits, a cheese platter and wine.
