Unfortunately when we booked, we didn’t check the restaurant hours and on arrival we were advised that it was closed for the duration of our stay. Our fault for not checking, and the reception staff were very helpful with dining recommendations. Restaurant hours on the website would have been more informative rather than just one line advice to check in amongst all the promotional stuff about the hotel and the surrounding area.

The location was amazing, with some fantastic views and close to local attractions and vineyards! Due to an error with the Expedia booking information reaching the hotel we did receive an upgrade for free. The room itself was great, the outside and some some features needed some attention. Fresh coat of paint, securing the fly screen ect. Pool was quite small. The aircon in the room was only in the front room and not the main bedroom, that has a ceiling fan. Although not associated with the hotel the restaurant onsite is a must visit.

We spent 4 nights at Hermitage lodge in the Hunter valley. We had a duplex lodge with a full kitchen, living room, separate upstairs bedroom and bathroom, and balconies on both levels. Everything was immaculate. The location was perfect for visiting the vineyards and town of Cessnock. The lodge looked out over a small vineyard with a forested backdrop. I would definitely recommend Hermitage lodge as a place to stay in the Hunter valley.
