The staff were really welcoming and able to accommodate requests. The room had some issues with lighting (main lights flickered incessantly so we used the table lights only), the bathroom didn't have any storage or shelf for shower products or hooks near the shower for towels a day wash cloths,and the toilet didn't have a lid. The bed was one of the best we experienced along with the pillows. Breakfast was a waste of money, $39pp for hard cold poached eggs, tough bacon and a decent coffee. Save the money and go elsewhere (like the visitor centre).

We just spent a night here and the Convent is beautiful. Lovely surroundings, nice pool and a lovely comfy room opening out onto a lovely shared balcony with comfy seats. Breakfast was good and our waitress was super nice and attentive. Getting a local taxi in the evening was tricky so just be aware that the well known online ride share company does have taxis in the Hunter Valley!

What a charming space. Make sure you take advantage of the breakfast and be sure to try out pepper tree and circa right on the property. Thank you to the front desk lady for giving so many great recommendations in the central coast as well as hunter.

Faulty Towers
Think Faulty Towers, we actually started to laugh at the check in. Run down and old, needs complete reno, the deck was filthy, the garden and grounds are beautiful. Breakfast was stone cold and the promised homemade bread, still imagining this fantasy. Feel like they are trying hard and failing.

The property has beautiful land and exterior. However within the property it was very noisy. We staying on the ground flour and you could hear every moment upstairs. You could also hear every time someone used water through the pipes in the wall. It’s was extremely hard to sleep though.

Quiet retreat
Lovely hotel. We were upgraded to an upstairs, corner, Premier room, which was very special. Large, very comfortable room, with options to access two balconies. Very comfortable King Bed and large bathroom. Shower over the bath. Did not utilise breakfast there, which would have been $39/person per day. Made pod coffee provided in the room. Very quiet stay. There is no lift, so if you dont manage stairs, request a downstairs room. Staff were very pleasant.

Old and tired, in drastic need of some TLC and maintenance. It may be old but chipped paint, missing tile grout, loose taps, general grubbiness is no excuse. This property is grossly overpriced.
