The Convent Hunter Valley Hotel

Very distinctive old architecture.

The hotel is in a quiet ,well maintained area ,very handy to the vineyards. It is a period convent and is a great place to stay. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast is excellent. Very highly recommended.

Beautiful venue; great staff; rooms were lovely and everything you need in one place! My preferred choice of venue when visiting the Hunter

Great location. Lovely country ambience with wine cellars gardens very good restaurants on site. Rooms old style which was lovely.

Overall excellent hotel close to all the wineries plus Pepper Tree winery on site. Hotel over 100 yrs old and very well maintained, staff were wonderful and very helpful, breakfast was amazing. Would recommend this hotel for a few days in the Hunter Wine region.

My husbsnd and I had a lovely stay here for 1 night. We were checked in by Tess who was very efficient friendly and customer friendly. Nothing was a problem. Our room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was individually cooked and offered a good choice from eggs waffle and fruit. The coffee was excellent. We loved the fire in the lounge plus the ambience of the hotel. Very well furnished with quality fittungs and in keeping with the style of the olde worlde convent building. We'll be back. Loved it. 😀

The Convent was a pleasure to stay at. The staff are fabulous, kind, thoughtful. The grounds are stunning. The restaurant, Circa 1876, was Michelin Star Worthy.

Friendly staff, great breakfast and easy access to the hunter valley

Staff extremely helpful. Jess front desk was excellent.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful historic hotel. The staff are the greatest asset, and provide genuine, heartfelt excellent service in everything they do. The team that looks after the rooms is also exceptional. Having seen some other people’s reviews, I think you need to bear in mind that this is a building which is more than 100 years old, and it has been updated to a very comfortable and pleasant experience. But it is not a recent construction. I hardly recommend the convent if you are traveling to the Hunter Valley

Serene

The Convent is a lovely place to stay in Pokolbin, with delightfully pleasant and helpful staff. The ambience is quite in keeping with the style of the building as is the decor and the artwork. Our room had a queen size bed and private bathroom and it opened on to a large veranda with nice comfortable cane furniture. The bed was however not the most comfortable one we have slept on with the mattress being quite hard. The shower was over a high bathtub which was awkward to negotiate. Thankfully there was a grab rail. For a property being marketed as a Luxury Hotel the bed linen and towels were not up to standard. Our vanity didn’t have hot running water, which made shaving uncomfortable. Apart from those comments we enjoyed our stay thank w

Breakfast was great and room was clean and very comfortable

The balcony was lovely and relaxing in the beautiful grounds

Really amazing historical building with nice staffs.

Beautiful place. and gardens. Lovely staff. Loved it

Tranquility! Beutiful place.

Great service went above expectations

Wir waren 3 Nächte in diesem Hotel und haben es geliebt. Das Haus ist sehr historisch und mit sehr viel Liebe eingerichtet. Das zugehörige Restaurant Circa ist ebenfalls sehr speziell und das Essen ausgezeichnet. Die Angestellten waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir würden jederzeit wieder in dieses exzellente Hotel gehen. PS.: Man sieht regelmässig Kängurus, Hasen und jede Menge schöne Vögel.

The main stand out for us in addition to the beautiful building and gardens was the helpful friendly staff. From Reception, to the breakfast waier to housekeeping.
