Lovely place to spend our anniversary weekend. Bobbi is the perfect host. Breakfast on the terrace was lovely & food delicious. Bobbi organized all our dinner & tour bookings, nothing is too much trouble. We'll be back! More

The great reviews are well earnt. Bobbi was a wonderful host - nothing is too much trouble and she has a perfect ability to sense when to say hello, and when to stay in the background. Communication with her was prompt and friendly prior to the visit. Beautiful grounds, we made the short walk to Spicer's up the road for... More

We asked for advice on Hunter Valley options for our few days get away and the responses were overwhelming in favor of Splinters. And they were not wrong. This is a great guesthouse, easy to book, easy to find, very comfortable, almost like staying with friends. Bobby was away, but Reggie took very good care of us and was very... More

We spent 2 nights with Bobby in Splinters at the end of March and the stay lived up to all the rave reviews we had read in Tripadvisor. The guest rooms are spacious, comfortable and a platter of food and sample of wine awaits you. The breakfasts were magnificent, eaten on the patio with great relish. We did the wine... More

We followed the good feedback on this Guest House on TripAdvisor and weren't disappointed. Bobby was a fantastic host and provided great help in terms of winery and restaurant recommendations. The simple eye for detail and little extras really made us feel spoilt in this home away from home. The property has everything you would need for a stay in... More

Pros: Bobbi the owner is very warm, welcoming and helpful. The Splinters' estate is a beautiful setting - pruned lawn, pond with a bench...beautiful flora & fauna. The cottage is very cute with white roses planted outside the front, it's own BBQ and outside area. It was wonderful watching the sunset from the outside sitting area. Bobbi gave us enough... More
