“We found the team wonderful, friendly and welcoming. The room was perfect. Breakfast adequate and the restaurant, il Cacciatore exceptional. Close to many wineries, the famous gardens but still managed to be a haven of peace and quiet with lots of wildlife. We came home relaxed and happy with a boot full of wine!”

We have stayed here twice and both times have found the rooms, staff , location and the ambience fantastic. It is perfectly located if you are going to a concert at Hope Estate….no need to drive you can walk across the road. The breakfast supplied in the room is great, juice, coffee, muesli , yoghurt (delicious), muffins & jams. The rooms are well appointed and the beds comfortable. Each room has a deck that looks out over the vines , a very tranquil setting. The onsite Italian restaurant Il Cacciatore has tasty food and selection of local wines. Overall I would highly recommend Hermitage Lodge for a relaxing stay in the Hunter Valley.

“I am pleased to provide comments regarding my regular stays at the Hermitage Lodge over the past year or so. Hermitage Lodge is my preferred location for accommodation in the Hunter Valley because of its well appointed apartments, friendly staff and very helpful proprietors. Its charming environment is complemented with the delightful Il Cacciatore Restaurant where the menu and wine list are of a consistently high and alluring standard. I am always confident and happy to invite clients and members of my Board to the Hermitage Lodge and frequently commend it to business associates and friends.”

“From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, Mark, Noreen and Clive were exceptionally helpful and welcoming. We were shown to our room personally by Clive where he explained everything about the room in detail. The room reminded us of being somewhere homely and familiar. We did have a bit of trouble getting out of bed in the morning because the bed was so comfortable. The balcony was perfect for looking out over the vineyard and watching the sun set. The included continental breakfast was more than adequate, and tasted fantastic. We had an amazing time in the Hunter, and it was always great to have a beautiful room to come home to.

Highly recommended. Thankyou!!!!”
