더 컨벤트 헌터 밸리 호텔(The Convent Hunter Valley Hotel)

Lovely hotel with tastefully decorated room, bathroom let it down being old and a tall bath difficult to climb in and out of for a shower. We stayed on a Monday and Tuesday night as it was my husbands birthday, unfortunately the restaurant (circa 1876) at the end of the drive was closed Mondays but we enjoyed dining there on the Tuesday night. Breakfast was served outside (under cover) it was rather too large for me but excellent. There are lovely balconies (shared by a few rooms) which are a nice place to sit and read. There is a small outdoor pool and tennis court.

Absolute class act as always, immaculate property/grounds, beautifully presented rooms and engaging and kind staff. This place is a dream to stay in. If you are looking to splurge or enjoy a romantic getaway this is the place to stay in the Hunter.

Unique building with a history and presented in old world charm and style.

It’s lovely accommodation but not for the price tag- hotel is a little run down and rooms are very small.

The history is something that we can all be proud of and the decor is so awesome..... what I didn't like was the room is too dusty as my husband kept sneezing and I could see the dust and hair on the bed frame the shower is too inconvenient and too difficult to get the right water temperature upon checking in, the receptionist kept telling me things that i wasn't aware of - maybe got mized up with another group who were checking in on the same day most of all - it was my husband and I's 35th wedding anniversary and there was no acknowledgment whatsoever! If I've made a booking at The Shangri-la, the celebration would have been acknowledged with a nice greeting and a tasteful cake!!!!!

A beautiful serene property. Highly recommend - with Pepper Tree winery and CIRCA just a walk down the tree lined driveway - truly magical!

We retraced our steps from 26 years ago to return to The Convent. it was as special today as not was then. The staff were friendly and would go out of their way to assist us. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable and comfortable. The windows in our room (815) rattled all night in the wind and the air code was tricky to get working. Water pressure was fantastic and hot water was In abundance so the showers were great (though the bath tub (shower over bath) is a little narrow when standing in). Circa restaurant was as enlightening today as it had been all those years ago (then 'Roberts').

The staff were very pleasant & mostly accommodating. The room requires updating, for both bathroom & curtains. Wifi was quite patchy at times, whilst there is nothing but free to air television available. We found The Convent not good value for money, well over priced for $500 a night including a limited breakfast.

Property was a beautiful boutique hotel with lovely gardens and great staff. With it being a boutique hotel however, some of the amenities like the bathroom were showing their age and not up to date with certain facilities. Overall a lovely place to stay
