Great location at Lovedale in the Hunter Valley. Accommodation in one of the lodges was excellent. All pretty modern and well appointed with our lodge rooms (3) each having a separate bathroom including one that’s adapted. Kitchen facilities were really good however I think Adina missed a trick by not including a complimentary bottle of wine which would have been a nice touch., that said there was olive oil. We stayed early week so the restaurant wasn’t open but there is the Mockingbird just across the road if you want something for lunch. Given the late season, dinner options are limited but if you’re spending all day on wine and cheese then that’s not really an issue. A few of the party also used the spa and the massages were very good so that’s also another selling point. Overall, good location with lovely views over the olive grove and vineyard and very modern lodges.

La villa deve essere rinfrescata per riportarla alla sua ex gloria, in particolare il tappeto e le tende più i prodotti di cucina aggiuntivi necessari. Il Nacho nel ristorante era asciutto e inedibile. Bella stanza e personale amichevole.

While the grounds are lovely and the rooms are very nice from the outside and very large inside they are really in need of renovations and some updated furniture. The walls badly need a paint and the furniture is very old and worn. The table in our unit was glass topped and not very clean. It wobbled on its legs so much it was hard to sit at. There is a lovely pub at the front of the location but unfortunately it was not open on the nights we stayed except for one (even though when we rang them prior to arriving they said they would be) and there is no other place to eat at unless you want to drive to them so we had to improvise. We tried to use the oven and cooktop but they are so old that it was very difficult to heat anything up. I really thought that places would have used the long lock down we have just come out of to make sure everything would be sparkling clean and everything in working order. The dust on the lamps and lamp bulbs was an inch thick. Surely these accommodation places should be making sure everything has been cleaned for people to stay especially because of Covid. I had to wipe everything down with disinfectant wipes just to make sure. Don't rely on the reception area being open as it is closed most of the time. I rang to confirm my booking and had to leave a message but I am still waiting on the phone call back and we have been home for 4 days now. It is very disappointing as we were really looking forward to getting away for a few days after being in lock down for so long. The area is lovely to go for a visit though I just probably wouldn't stay here again.

Tower Lodge is truly a 5 star experience, from our arrival to our departure our stay was truly memorable. On arrival we were warmly welcomed and shown to our suite which was one of the most beautiful rooms I have had the pleasure in staying in , the high ceilings , the open fire and the sumptuous bathroom , truly luxurious. Breakfast and dinner is included in the room rate which is something we would generally avoid but would advise everyone not to avoid as the food is 5 star fine dining using local ingredients and cooked by a chef who you know just loves what he does . The level of service and friendliness of all the staff was outstanding and they could not do enough for us with bookings for wineries and personal gin and whiskey tastings which are a must . Finally I have to mention the owner Michael who introduced himself to us on our first night and was a fountain of knowledge to the history of the lodge and all the other parts of the business . His passion was infectious and made our stay more enjoyable. We will 100% return if we ever return to Australia.

La stanza che abbiamo soggiornato in aggiornamento di necessità. Le tende erano sporche e l'unità di condizionamento d'aria era piena di polvere. Il piccolo doccia sopra il bagno in una grande bagno era difficile da adattare, poiché sono più alto 1.8m.

Questa è la nostra quarta soggiorno negli ultimi 3 anni e ogni soggiorno non si disappunta mai. Le proprietà appena ristrutturate lo rendono ancora più bello di quanto non lo fossero prima. Sempre senza spazi puliti, tranquilli, parcheggio fuori dalla tua stanza e il servizio eccezionale. La posizione è perfetta nel mezzo di tutto per visitare. Colin.
