“Hospitality at it's best!”

We have just returned from Hunter Haven B&B today having spent two nights there. We were extremely impressed with the quality of service offered by our hosts, Ken and Collette. Nothing was too much trouble for either of them and they went out of their way to make our stay as memorable as possible -- allowing us to use their house phone to make an important overseas call, generously giving us a bottle of bubbly as they found out it was our wedding aniversary and even driving us to a local restaurant at no extra charge.

The rooms are very comfortable and clean with ceiling fans and air-conditioning and the fully cooked breakfast was delicious. Ken is a wonderful tour guide who kindly took us around to some of the local vineyards and places of interest. We were made to feel like family which is something you don't experience very often.

We would highly recommend this B&B to anyone wishing to stay in a "home away from home".

We have just gotten back from our 2 nights and cannot wait to return

Ken and Collette were wonderful host who welcome you to hunter haven like you were family. Collette is a wonderful cook and Ken is always willing to help by driving us to concerts / dinners and even taking us all on the most informative / fantastic wine tour.

We will defiantly be returning soon for your host a murder mystery night.

“Our trip to the Hunter Haven to see Dolly Pardon in concert.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

Dear Ken and Colette,

Thank you for accommodating us and our friends Les & Maureen over the weekend. You always go the xtra mile for us and we appreciate your kindness very much.

Ours rooms were very well presented and homely.

We also enjoyed the comfort of the lounge room area, where we could sit and relax and get a massage too, Im going to have to buy the massage cushions they're a great idea.

We also enjoyed our beautiful breakfasts out on the veranda the food was scrumptious.

Thank you Ken for the complimentary bus ride to and from the hope estate, i don't think taking our vehicles is a good idea as we witnessed how difficult it can be getting in and out of the hope estate.

Finally, we not only managed to see Dolly in concert but prior to that you squeezed us in for a wine tour...which made our weekend complete. Awesome.

We look forward to seeing you both again in December.

Kind Regards,

Sheree & Heta

Room Tip: choose the deluxe room it's lovely.

“A Brill start to our Road Trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

Collette and Ken were a delight and the friendliest hosts we've ever met. We had had a very stressful few years running a business and this was the first holiday we had for a long time, and from the minute we walked thru the door we were made to feel like family, and nothing was too much trouble for them...we even strolled to the local pub with them. And Collette your icecream slice is currently being mastered in our house :) And Ken we now think of ourselves as quite the experts on wine after our extended tour of the Hunter Vineyards (with a couple of diversions) Your knowledge was the best. The rooms were a delight and the fluffy towels and dressing gowns to die for. It felt so much like home that we didnt even have to lock our door. Definately was the best way to start the rest of our holiday. Ive already recommended this B&B to people on our travels and our friends and family. Will keep in touch. [---]

“Made our trip.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011

We went to the Hunter recently for Cold Chisel at Bimbadgen, which we thought would be the highlight. Staying at Hunter Haven and meeting Ken and Collette (otherwise known as Keith and Lois) certainly made it neck and neck. They were so thoughtful and helpful and the accommodation was the best. Ken also does and amazing wine tour, best one we've been on and Collette, your breakfasts are out of this world. We have been recommending you to all of our friends and will most certainly be back. Thanks again for giving us such a wonderful stay - Tracey and Jeff
