Extremely quiet, easy to find with parking, very clean, exactly as the photos. Comfy beds, large, spacious bathroom. Breakfast was ok too. Definitely would recommend to family or friend. Thank you for making us welcome.

The hotel is clean and has nice amenities, which I appreciate. However, I’d like to share some feedback for improvement. The Wi-Fi signal was extremely weak—I kept losing connection every few seconds, which made it frustrating to get online. In addition, I really didn’t like the shampoo and body wash gel setup. Since the dispensers were locked to the wall, it was difficult to pump out more than a very small amount at a time. Overall, a decent stay, but these details made the experience less comfortable than expected.

Value for money compared to most other places I've stayed in the Hunter. The Lane Retreat is at the upper end, however the provided breakfasts, the view overlooking the ranges and vineyards, and the ease of a receptionless checkin, makes this the go-to for our future stays.

It was a beautiful retreat indeed, we truely enjoyed our stay and the team were responsive and welcoming. We had a small issue during our stay and they resolved it promptly, we were very impressed with the outcome. If you are a coffee lover, there is a cafe catering your morning craves :) we saw many hot air balloons on the sky from our balcony, can’t get better than this! Highly recommended to everyone, we are planning for our next visit already with friends and family.
What a pretty view from balcony! Picture can not do the justice

Beautifully appointed cabins , perfect for a relaxing short stay in an idyllic location . Kangaroos played in the distance outside our generous balcony window which looked over the lush , green fields with mountains in the distance. Peaceful, private , and luxurious, including generous breakfast supplies and a coffee machine. We will be back.
