A lovely vineyard stay!
We stayed here for a wedding close by and we could not speak more highly of Bonvilla! Clean, comfortable with spectacular vineyard views (and a lovely tree swing down the road!). We were a large group visiting and we felt we had lots of space to relax. The added complimentary tasting was a highlight and the staff were lovely.

Gorgeous!
I recently stayed at Bonvilla with my family. The house is stunning, plenty of room and you can’t beat the view of the vineyards. The manager was very accommodating, was a wonderful stay! I will definitely be returning.

Stunning Weekend Away
We absolutely loved staying at this winery! Waking up overlooking the vines made us feel like we were in Europe! The hosts were extremely accomodating, the house was tidy and had plenty of room. I have absolutely no complaints.

Overall comfortable stay
Mostly comfortable, but there are several things that we would like to reflect on: 1) there was an electric blackout in the first night (probably due to a defected hairdryer), we called both phone numbers provided to us and left messages, NO ONE responded. We had to look over the whole house to find the fuse box to reset the electric safety button. 2) there are no extra garbage bags, especially for the bathroom toilet paper collection. Since we are asked not to thrush toilet paper after usage, we had to put soiled paper in a very small bin with no extra bags. 3) There is no scrub/sponge for dish washing. 4) Only one hairdryer for 10 guests We were able to get a new hairdryer the next day, but would have appreciated if someone could give us a call when we asked for help.

Hi Linda, we are sorry the power tripped out. The phone calls were received at 11.35pm & 12.30am so sorry we were asleep at the time the calls came in. We did address the issue in the morning as soon as possible. If it was the hair dryer, the power would have tripped before you had left for the wedding? Had you called us then we could have sorted this out for you while you were out. We did try to work in with as you requested an early check to which I said you could arrive as early as you required so you had time to get ready for the wedding. We could have charged a fee or asked you to pay an extra night but but we tried to do the right thing for you. You can flush toilet paper down the toilet so I am not sure why you thought you couldn't. We do ask that nothing other than toilet paper be flushed, which is standard no matter where you travel. Thank you for letting us know about the garbage bags. I will ask our cleaner to leave a couple more in the future. Thank you for visiting and hope the wedding went well.

Dads Weekend Away
Great Venue, Awesome Hosts and a fantastic winery. The Vila sits above a brand new (2022) refurbished cellar door. Max, Lexi and Donald are all very welcoming and knowledgeable about their wines. We were treated to a comprehensive tasting of the many wonderful Bonvilla wines. The accommodation is great and has a French provincial feel, naturally. There’s a lovely balcony to watch sunrise and Ballons drift over the vines. The same balcony is also great for that well deserved wine at the end of the day. Bonvilla is located centrally to many other Hunter Valley wines and attraction. The five of us hire electric bikes from Grapemobile and we’re able to tour around easily. Highly recommend the venue and the team of Bonvilla we will be back! Stayed March 2023

Great location
Great location and really close to the places we wanted to see but just wasn't informed that the property where we were staying, was in the same building as the winery so others coming and going during open times. The property wasn't cleaned or presented according to our expectations either.

Hi Simone, we are sorry your stay did not meet your expectations. Yes, the property is located on a working vineyard which, we think, adds to the experience of staying with us. And there are generally only people around between 9.30 - 5. The nights are free for our guests to enjoy the solitude the vineyard offers. And how beautiful is it to wake up in the morning overlooking the vines.

Country Cosy and spacious
This country cottage was cosy and perfect for 10 people. It was Very clean and spacious . The winery attached to it was an added bonus and we were able to enjoy the wine tasting and walk around the property through the vines. The location was beautiful and we loved watching the sun setting. The staff and manger were super helpful and hospitable. We definitely recommend it to everyone. Thankyou for a wonderful few days. We will be back!!

Picturesque views and Vineyard to yourselves
My husband and I stayed at Bonvilla for 2 nights. We were greeted by the lovely Cellar Door Manager Melissa who was extremely helpful during our stay. The Villa is perfect for large groups such as 5 couples or family with adult children and partners. The Cellar Door is very new and the wines are Beautiful. You must organize a tasting during your stay along with a cheese platter to be enjoyed in such a picturesque setting. We will be returning with our family. Thanks Melissa & Jane

Perfect Home for a getaway
Property and Location was perfect. The home reminded us of being in a cabin far away from everything. In saying that, the location is right in the middle of everything we needed. I could not recommend this place more, especially if you are in a large group. Both Donald and Jane were incredibly helpful and responded very quickly. The bottles of wine they provided were also great. 10/10 :)

Amazing location and beautiful house
We really enjoyed our stay! The bedroom layout was great for larger groups with multiple couples. The living spaces were perfect for coming together, enjoying meals and playing cards. The house is centrally located if you're doing wine tasting, and we felt so special to be able to be staying right next to some gorgeous vineyards! Thanks again!
