- Morgan-Lee WNew South Wales, Australia1 contributionAmazingFrom the moment you walk through the door, Kyla, Sarah and Phillippa are amazing, welcoming and just downright lovely. This is the second time I have been here and the experience just gets better! Smashing things is so therapeutic and I am so grateful that there is somewhere clean and safe to do it. Not only are the ladies lovely they have a wealth of information of what’s happening in the area too.Visited February 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 11 March 2024
- Sarah M4 contributionsFantastic family funI attended the escape room with 7 teens and they all had a great time. We loved the Willy Wonka theme, the rooms were challenging enough to keep the teens occupied and they didn’t ask for their phones once! Definitely recommend the experience!Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten 7 April 2024
- Kristy W1 contributionChocolate escape roomAs a family of 7 with kids aged 2-17 we tried out the chocolate escape room yesterday! It’s was lots of fun for the whole family! We had to work as a team to figure out the clues and the chocolate tasting at the end was a great reward!! The ladies who worked there were all so lovely, friendly and helpful! Although it’s quite an expensive family activity we did it as a birthday treat for one of our kids and I’d definitely recommend it!Visited June 2024Travelled with familyWritten 9 June 2024
- Ben RGreater Sydney, Australia46 contributionsEscape room in wine countryWe had lots of fun doing the escape room. Won't give you any spoilers but its a pretty tough one. We had to get a few hints a long the way. It was a good break from the cellar doors. Lovely friendly hosts. Would like to go back and try the axe throwing next time. We could see that there were eBike hires , and a smash room too, so theres heaps to do here.Visited July 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 15 July 2024

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I absolutely can not recommend this place enough! With the biggest shout out to Phillippa. I work for a disability company and have supported a group in the smash room, chocolate escape room and axe throwing and it was the BEST fun by all. The detail in the escape room was phenomenal, the vibe and energy in both smash room and axe throwing is seriously infectious. Phillippa went above and beyond for our participants so THANK YOU!
We are so lucky to have such a one of a kind buisness in our vineyards and definitely a place that everyone should experience!
Can’t wait to come back!

Had a great time doing this escape room. Took us around 53 of the allotted 60 minutes, so seems to be the perfect level of puzzles to make it challenging but still fun. We did need some wine knowledge, but when you’re in the Hunter Valley, there’s bound to be a bit of that within your group!

We did the chocolate escape room and the adults did the smash room and ace throwing. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming with great instruction. The escape room , whilst aimed at families, was still pretty challenging and lots of fun. Everyone loved the Smash Room, and those who couldn’t participate due to age enjoyed watching! Would thoroughly recommend the whole centre

We had the most amazing time from the minute that we arrived . The food platters where generous and beautifully presented. The staff are amazing, very helpful, lots of fun and looked after our group very well .
I've never done a smash room or an escape room before and I thoroughly enjoyed it as did the whole group .
I can highly recommend Sutton Estate 10 out of 10 for a fantastic experience

Great idea to combine Wine tasting & Escape room.
We would have enjoyed the experience except the host forgot to put a prop in the first room which meant we wasted 20mins looking for something which was not there. When we went out to ask about it, the host could not be found, so we wasted another 15mins looking for an item before the host reappeared and provided us with the missing prop. We were given an additional 15 mins, which was insufficient time and frustration levels were a little high by that stage.
Would have been great fun if the prop was not missing. Left a bit disappointed unfortunately.

Hi Grr (appropriate name lol),
Sorry we didn't meet your expectations this time. we will work on it and hopefully improve in the future to make sure it doesn't happen again. Sometimes we are human and make mistakes. I would appreciate if you can read our other reviews as yours certainly is a one off.

I’ve never done an Escape Room before but my daughters have - and some of the “best” in the world, including NYC.
This was (in their opinion) right up there with the very best.
So much fun to have the Hunter Valley / wine theme. Very unique and incorporating wine tasting did alleviate the “stress” of my first Escape Room.
In COVID-19 times, this was so well managed and Pip was marvellous and so full of energy (even in the heat!)
Really recommended. It was good to have people who have done Escape Rooms before...I was flummoxed for the first wee while!!!

AMAZING! Highly recommend this to anyone visiting the Hunter Valley. It was my and my hubby’s very first time doing an escape room.. so as we were complete newbs to this sort of experience, we found it to be quite challenging- but extremely fun and exciting! Pip, our host was so lovely and was a pleasure to meet, and gave us some great recommendations on wineries and restaurants in the area. Everything from the service to the experience was perfect.

We, a family of four (2 adults and 2 teenagers), had a brilliant time yesterday at the wine escape room at Sutton estate. Pip was ourselves host and she made the event such fun - especially when we needed some help. The room / game is very well done and worth doing when you visit the hunter valley … especially with teenagers. The wine tasting was great fun too. Highly recommended and thanks again Pip!
