Our experience at this 5 star motel was less than ideal. Its rating seems to be because of some strange arrangement that it is rated as a guest house rather than a motel (which it is) We wanted to stay three nights in the area to go to the Dolly Parton concert in November.I rang a number of places(international calls)...

We stayed a night here in January so we could take a wine tour and have a lovely dinner at the neighbouring Spicers Vineyard. We purchased our evening from a mystery purchase of a 5 star hotel room on Lastminute.com.au. We had high expectations given that the usual price for a night was listed as over 300 dollars. The location,... More

We were given a gift by a friend to stay at Patrick Plains Estate and when reading reviews were a tad concerned. However, upon arrival, our greeting could not have been more friendly and the ambience was delightful. We were delighted by the spacious room and the delightful decor. The drinks and canapes upon our arival (shiraz made by Patrick... More

Husband & i stayed here for 3 nights early September '11 and i must say Donna & staff couldn't have made our stay a more enjoyable one. The continental breakfast was fine i thought the pastries were really nice with coffee later in the afternoon. We enjoyed canapes late afternoon with their own red wine from their vineyard. Bathroom very... More

Extremely disappointing.Promoted as "five star" accommodation yet presents with the decor of a men's service establishment. Cold room and no staff member in sight to assist with the heating. Arrived first night apparently five minutes late for packaged cheese and crackers rather than advertised "canapes"! Told "we missed out". Some how the second nights cheese and crackers didn't get offered... More

We arrived about 6pm after a slow rainy drive from Newcastle to find a beautifully decorated reception area,warmed by a fireplace.Soft lighting and music playing added to the inviting feeling. Our room was tastefully decorated, very spacious and spotlessly clean. The linen and towels were great quality and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was very clean and the... More

This guesthouse is really quite nice, however it is not the five star experience we paid for... We booked this accommodation for a romantic escape based on the information provided on the website, which is very misleading. We paid $748 for three nights, justified by the website information including canapes on arrival, intimate lounge with logfire and Australian continental breakfast...... More

Definitely 5 star guesthouse. It is not meant to be a hotel and is therefore rated differently. We booked through lastminute secret deals. We loved the warm friendly atmosphere in the foyer. We were shown to our room and were very happy. Large comfortable room. Offered a glass of wine and cheese and Bickies. Served each day at about 4.30pm.(if... More

My partner and I stayed here for a quiet few days away for our anniversary and we weren't disappointed. Upon arrival, without having made reservations for a nice dinner or making a booking for a wine tour the day after, the reception staff were more than happy to organize both for us, including a complementary glass of bubbly at the...
