We had a delightful stay at the hotel, enjoying its spacious and bright room with a lovely patio. The breakfast was abundant and delicious, and the staff provided attentive service throughout our visit. However, the initial check-in experience was a bit disappointing due to the lack of acknowledgment of my membership perks. Overall, it's a lovely spot to enjoy the beauty of the Hunter Valley, but just a few hiccups kept it from being perfect.
